What tire do you run and why?

[Daniel Meyer]

Currently running a V rated 205/60R-16 YOKOHAMA AVID ENVIGOR...because it's affordable and I like it.

Hey Mark, ATT, almost 30k on it, no complaints, hasn't lost a pound of air in 3 years.

Yokohama Avid Envigor 205/60/16 92v 1389 lb load limit vs Avon 180/60/16 rear  80H 992 lb load limit.
I run two up on an Interstate and have a rear carrier with light bar that attaches to the rear on which I carry 48 lbs of gear.
Carrier filled, saddle bags filled, trunk filled, trunk rack loaded and two riders we tip the scales at 1230. I am not interested in risking or wondering if I am over loading a tire at highway speeds in the heat. I like the ride, the traction for stop and go and tar snakes diaper. Life span is a plus.

Champiro VP1. Nicely rounded shoulders.

Kumho Ecsta PA31 195/60/R16 because that is what was on it when I bought it. This is my first experience with a CT but didn't take long to get used to.

here is thread for the GT fit I use. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,90637.0.html

pictures are gone due to photostash.

keeping the tread width of the CT close to the OEM size is key.  the 205/65 lower rpms by 200, nice 2 mpg increase.  the taxi tire lowers rpms even more and is narrower. there are a few other brand tires on tire rack that are same tread width as the TT in the 205/65 size.

I like the Taxi Tire plenty.  My only recommendation would be stay with good 13" shocks if using this tire, OEM or otherwise.  I'm using HD 444s.

Austone Taxi tire and-YUP-I WILL purchase another when I git this one worn out. RIDE SAFE.

[bikerboy1951]

So lots of different choices.  Which one if any is the same size height-wise as the stock size tire. Or which tire is the closest to the stock tire.

[Jess from VA]

The 205 60 16 is considered the closest to stock size (though 180 to 205 seems not close), but the height of them is nearly identical.

The Austone is a 175 vs OE 180, but it is a lot taller.
