How bout a truck tire ? Northernvalk you might want to sit down. I had this delivered today . Radar Argonite rv4 8 ply truck tire. 195/65/16  Dang Rob, can't wait for the tire report. That thing looks serious   you'll get to see it in Roanoke. I've got about 10 k left on my current tire, but it would be cutting it too close. So, I decided to go "All In" . I'll likely put it on in a week or 2. If it's too weird I'll switch to the tire on my Standard. |

Yeah, I'm thinking that might just be the last tire you ever need (on that bike).

Radar Argonite rv4 8 ply truck tire. 195/65/16 I'm also interested in the ride report on that one....and wouldn't mind seeing a side profile as well. I run the Austone on my Legacy Valk and a low profile CT on my 2014 Valk. |

With the extra ply's of a truck tire, what are your thoughts on shaving it on the shoulders to produce a rounded profile? Best of both worlds?

Radar Argonite rv4 8 ply truck tire. 195/65/16 What's it weigh?26 lbs. That is 3 lb. more than the 195/60's I've been running. Do you think it will be an issue ? To be honest, I hadn't even thought about the extra weight till you asked. |

Lot of the GeezerGlider's run flats weigh that much & more.
Thing sure does look "beefy" Caint wait for the report |

It's actually got a pretty well rounded profile already. After I get it mounted I'll get some better pics up. 26 lbs. That is 3 lb. more than the 195/60's I've been running.

Why in the world would a rider shave down a tire in an area that's going to wear if used as a motorcycle rear tire? This cam action you allude to is something I have never encountered. Not going to suggest it can't occur just never experienced it with my Austone Taxi Tire. I wouldn't even consider some of the wider and squarer CTs some of our brothers mount but, if that is what turns their crank, so be it. Come to InZane and ride a few of the different options. Reference sport bikes, I have no clue or interest. Rams |
