Review: Best tire. - Been riding and racing 50+ years but more of a sport tourer now though I still take my racer out here and there. Anyway, when I purchased my RT it came with this tire, it sticks well, handles well, has a good crown for going in to turns and switch backs. It wet conditions I’ve never had a problem and I’ve hit some large puddles. When the existing tire had worn down which was the same I installed the new one and the added smoothness is just amazing, you don’t realize it until you replace it. On the original I got a little over 14 k miles on it so I’m expecting to get the same out of this one. This is with moderate riding and handling. I’ll definitely be getting another one when needed if I’m still able to ride. Replaced the front with the same a week later. It’s not that difficult if you get the tire tools. I used balancing beads for tire balancing. You can get them on here too, just make sure you buy the right amount for you tire size but just a tip, put your beads in before you finish putting the tire on the rim cause it takes forever it you the kit to put them through the valve stern, I won’t make that mistake again.
Review: Great Service - Exactly what I ordered, and it arrived 3 days early.
