Darkside Bridgestone tire

[VMODON]

was talking to a fellow out of KS. with regards to D/S tire issues, he said he went to a B/S tire that was much better handling, but I can't remember the tire model, If your out there please post Thanks Don...

VMOD!!    Where you at???  I am in Topeka but it wasn't me that told you to get a b/s...  I would recommend the Falken 512.  If you are anywhere close to me I would let you ride my bike to see if you like it and I have an extra one that I bought earlier this year.  Let me know...

I'm on my second one and this was my first c/t and I have no reason to switch it out, unless they quit making this tire....   ???

Thanks Stude, for the offer, but I had a Faulken on already, put 23,000 miles on it, took it off for two up riding this summer. I've always said that it grabs the ruts in the blacktop at slow speed much too much for me. Was told that the B/S had a stiffer sidewall hand wanted to try it. I put an E-3 on for the summer, @6Kmiles its already cupped and making a lot of noise, want a POS...

That would have been Me (Brian) and Dale (Roadkill)

I will get out and take a peek to get the exact tire He and I are running, as well as the one Kerri is running on my old (her New) Valk.

Sorry for the late response!

It was BF GoodRich, not a Bridgestone (Dale gets a lil mixed up sometimes since the accident)

My old Valk is running the BFG Traction T/A 205/65 R16 (94T) This is Kerri's ride now I have about 20,000 on that tire and it still looks fresh (Running 44psi and see only mild evidence of increased center wear)

Dales Tourer and my new I/S are both running BFG Traction T/A's in 205/60 R16 (92H)
If you are who I'm thinking about  that is what was on Dale's bike that you test rode. (I'm bad with names, sorry)

We put the new BFG's on days before leaving for InZane 9 and only have about 5000 miles on 'em, but I assume that since they ride as nice as the 65 series, they will wear about the same (still running 44psi in them)

Thanks Gunslinger/Roadkill, for the responce. I didn't roadtest your bike, you just saw my D/S sticker, and asked why no D/S tire. Thanks, will try another one when rear runs out, Don...
