About to go Dark Side for first time

I've had 2 bikes with ds tires on them and both got unstable at higher speeds. On my rocket I changed from mc to ds in the middle of a road trip. The High speed wobble was caused by the car tire on my bike in my opinion. (Speeds 110 and above)

What is the tire rated for? Also, car tires are heavier, so balancing them is especially critical for higher speeds. More weight on rear will also help. Rear end on bike very light vs car.

My paint is flaking off, must be my car tire doing it

Another reason! Get a larger girl friend. Just gets better.

You're obviously running the wrong tyre pressure. Get a grip man.

lift your bike in the air and run it 100 mph with the mc tire then do the same with the car tire you better have plenty of room for the expansion the car tire has.
so if that tire raises up 2 or more inches it would be no wonder that it might get bumpy.
i wasn't going to do this

What Lupe did you get a flat and put one of you Truck on the back?
If so did you have to transfer the drop down ladder also

Modern high performance tyres should not do that.

Modern high performance tyres should not do that.

i guess we need some one to compare.
