There are lots of forum threads in here and on other sites about the whys (and why nots) that may provide the information you seek. They often start with someone thinking they are the first to question the darkside/car tyre practice. I'd suggest you try there.Why put a car tyre on a motorcycle? I can understand if a sidecar was fitted, but for a solo machine......! Corners must be fun!

I've been trying ride-on. I used beads previously and was ok with them, but I know many dual sport guys that started using the ride on and were having good results. The main benefit is flat protection, but it offers dynamic balancing too. They came by the product on the advice of border patrol guys who dealt with flats constantly. Ride on apparently drastically reduced their number of flats. I'm not real sensitive to balance issues, but I've gotten acceptable results with my little gravity balancer, beads and Ride on.real weights or dynabeads?
What size is that tire? Fits without mods?If anyone is curious....I'll give you the 500 mile Economist I'm taking off tomorrow, come get it in Flagstaff.
Good find. I ran a set on a car, and the rubber/silica compound is softer, but fairly long wearing. For a bike, there is decent sidewall flex. I'll probably put one on my bike this summer when the riding season picks up.anyone familiar with 175 55 17 Bridgestone Potenza RE040
175/55-r17 IIRC, yes fits w/o mods. Couple other guys on here tried it, and liked it.What size is that tire? Fits without mods?
