I've been running a Bridgestone CT on the rear and a Bridgestone Battleaxe rear tire on the front of my Victory Vision tour. I'm in Ohio hills & curves country and a few of my friends have gone dark after a season of riding together. I don't advocate the dark side and only share my personal experience when asked. It boils down to an individual's management of risk. I just (last week) bought a left over 2012 R3R for a second bike. I like the look of that fat bike tire on the R3R so I'll probably be staying with it. The CT looks like it was meant to be on the Vision!
