There is one reason for my decision: High speed handling. The GYTT had a tendancy to wobble at high speeds. (90 mph+) Not a death wobble, but a wobble nonetheless. This may or may not have been caused by the amount of weight used to balance the tire on the MC rim.

Looking at Trailers. See some with just the rails. Looks like dirt bike trailers, hold 3. Not sure how to get a big cruiser on these. See some platform trailers, flatbeds, with a front tire lock. Some of these trailers don't look like htey have springs.

Especially goin gover uneven surfaces. Makes it harder to control. At first I thought maybe something in the suspension was getting loose. But now I think it's just the tire doing it. Remember the Venture is about 900lbs. so maybe the flatter tire is moving the weight side to side. What do you guys think?

Hello everyone. I'm finally making the jump to the Darkside. I just ordered my tire online and have a friend that's going to mount it for me when it comes in. I ordered a "Kumho Power Star 758 - 165/80/15". My stock tire is a Dunlop D404 170/80/15... and it does not last but maybe 5000 miles (guestimation since I never thought to record the mileage when I replaced it) Anyway, Does anyone else currently use the Kumho Power Star ...

You will see in the photos we started off with a wide tire, and the tire in the final photo is different. We ended up installing a Kumono 165/65/15. ...

My wifes van is a 1999 GMC Safari 4.3 litre v-6. It has about 135,000 miles on it. The issue that I am having with it is that the crankcase will empty oil into the cooling system. Usually takes 300-600 miles. In diagnosing this, I have drained and flushed the cooling system and put a fresh oil change on it and 300-600 miles later, I have put three to four quarts of oil in the crankcase and the cooling system is full of oil. Now, there is no water in ...

I started off with 45 psi in it but it felt like it wanted to hunt every imperfection in the road. Put about 600 miles on it this weekend and was about ready to go back to the mc tire when a friend told me to lower the psi. He said he runs 32 in his and doesn't have any of ...
