Where did you have it mounted
2. Did you do it yourself.
3. What Tire did you use.

I have been reading alot of information on here about it which has helped alot but sometimes talking to someone in person and seeing it helps even more.

Any help would be appreciated..]]> General Discussion Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:13:18 GMT http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/general-discussion-f6/any-darksiders-in-tampa-bay-t3249.htm#27741 http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/general-discussion-f6/any-darksiders-in-tampa-bay-t3249.htm http://mcdarksiders.forumotion.com/general-discussion-f6/tread-remaining-after-10k-t3614.htm Otis56

this is the remaining tread on the c/t after 10k miles, it looks like I'll go 20k on this tire.

I am new to this forum and have been dropping in and reading your posts for 6 months or so. I am currently riding an 06' VTX 1800 Retro and am concidering the move to a C/T. I have went thru two back tires this year in 8800 miles and am tired of the price for replacement m/c tires. My biggest concern with changing over to the c/t is safety but from all the posts i've read on here that doesn't seem to be much of an issue.

However, I have a chance of getting an almost new “used” tire; I would say less than 1000 miles on it, from the looks of it. I’ve ran used motorcycle tires quite a bit, in the past.

So tight is it that the wires from my brake/turn lights are rubbing the tire when I hit a bump and causing them to ground out, thus blowing a 10amp fuse, which results in a total loss of power, meaning the bike dies. The tire is actually rubbing against the hollow bolt the wires from the lights go through.
