Interesting to see the comparison.
It will definitely not settle any arguments on what is better
but it probably will start some
lemme go get my popcorn and wait for them

DK, you did a diservice as you failed to warn of The Flaming Death while going to the Darkside.

I seen "The Flaming Death" flash before my eyes on three occasions.  That's why I went back to a MC tire.

There, I started it.   Cheesy   Wink

Sorry guys. I ride a trike and didn't know any better. I just came across it & thought it was interesting given all the darkside debate always apperring in the boards.

My apologies.

I don't run DS but see nothing wrong with it if that's what you want to do. Notice in the CT video 1/2 the tread was in contact with the road in the corners 98% of the time,and MC tire about the same,also note the MC tire was NOT OEM size so if a CT is wrong is it wrong yo run the wrong size MC tire?
