Darksiders

[CanberraR3]

When I had a car tyre on the back of my Rocket I can honestly say that I noticed no improvement whatsoever in handling, braking or ride comfort. There wasn’t even any financial saving nor increase in mileage. In fact pretty much all it did was add weight and had an extremely detrimental effect on the bike’s capability to carry a passenger. So nothing positive to report at all, only negatives.



Sorry, there was an upside. I got my car back on the road without needing to resort to the space saver spare.

All the money I save running Darkside, I put motorcycle tires on my car

Found this on line. Interesting read.

The greatest automotive advancement in history, and its heretics

have a 2008 R3T and have a ct know 12000 miles and is doing fine. I have run ct on 3 different bikes for around 130000 miles total no problems. The highest mileage was 30,000 miles on one tire on a Yamaha 1900cc twin. Always go to the Darksider sight to see what others have run on a type of bike and tire size.
just saying.

Wish I could claim to be in the first category, but I managed only 130,000 miles.

I have no idea how you managed it. When I got the bike I couldn't get proper tires on it fast enough. It handled like a loaded cement truck in turns, and over 100 mph it shook like a belly dancer's hips. The first time somebody asked what I was going to call her, I said the Deathtrap.
Now since she has motorcycle tires she handles like a dream, even past the end of the speedo.

Ah - But our @idk is used to things that handle like a Grand Piano.

YEP I had the same expierience when I ran the car tire that came on the CF RIM it destroyed the handing cant understand why anyone would do that to their bike BUT I trashed the CT and mounted a MICHELIN COMMANDER 2 and the handling was restored to excellent

I enjoyed that read...my rear tyre has barely given me 6000 km so far and theres not much left, so I'm weighing it up for the change.

It’s the only way to go especially on long rides .
I have two rims and just swop them over for long rides .
Getting 25000 km out of the car tyer

Tried a car tire once but did not like it much. Better handling with a motorcycle tire mounted by far.
