I wasn't too far off that mark after the cost of the tire, shipping, mount and balance. That is just too much money to keep rubber on a bike not used for racing, and **** underhanded of Triumph to force it's customers to use because of their choice of wheel size. One little inch either way in wheel diameter would have opened up our choices ten fold.

I don't remember who makes it or what it's called ... but I do remember seeing a picture here of a tire that had both features of car tire down the middle with bike roundness on the sides. I also remember that it was just one inch from fitting on our bikes and would have been the Perfect combination of durable, deep, flat tread and rounded, light weight soft compound sides for cornering. It was like it was special made for the Rocket in every way but one .... they didn't come in 16 inch diameter!!!!!

Triumph would have even saved a few pennies in materials by downsizing the rim to 15 inches without sacrificing any performance at all ... their only reason for 16 is to be in bed with Metzler. And to do that to their customers is disgraceful, if it was me it would take getting every OEM tire free, I doubt that's happening.
 
No, it actually looked like a car tire around the center and a bike tire on both sides, The shoulders of the tire were shaped (rounded) just like any other bike tire, but the center of the tread was nearly flat. Really cool looking tire.
 
I got a Rikan Raptor 225/55/R16 for $107 shipped to my door.
1 1/2 hours of my time and $40 to cut old metz off and mount CAR tire.
$147 total.
Try to beat that.
