High Speed Corner Video

Post  vstarman on Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:11 am

Here is my new video of my Darkside tire going around a posted 30mph corner at 45-50mph.
This DunlopSport5000 tire is running 33 lbs. of air. 195/60/16

You'll have to decide whether for yourself, whether or not this contact patch
is larger than a motorcycle tire would make!

Hi Vstarman
I have notice you thread patern is not the same on both side of the tire
On dry pavement i gess there's no probleme but on wet pavement where the water will go Question

When i bought mind i made sure the thread patern was the same on both side for wet pavement
My thread patern will evacuate the water on both side at the same time Smile

I did my 1st 500 mile on wet pavement and i did't loose any grip at all no aquaplaning what so ever
and also lots of breaking power tongue

My ride never been this dirty after riding in the rain ... Evil or Very Mad never Evil or Very Mad


Take care

Yours ..........................................................................................Mine

vstarman,
I've seen a lot of Darkside videos, but this is the best and clearest one yet. Good job. But.....I think you musta made it in a studio or something, because everyone knows that you can't run a car tire on a motorcycle. You can't go around corners witha car tire!!!! Thanks. Semper-fi
