Fitted up a Kumho Run Flat

Post by LOFTYBOB on Wed May 21, 2008 5:01 pm

G'day fellow Darksiders, My name is Bob and I come from a land down under (good name for a song) I have just fitted a Kumho Run Flat 195 x 55 x 16 to our brand new GL 1800. We are leaving on a 9,000 Km trip in early August and are towing a trailer so I knew the MCT would not last the distance. Having gone Darkside on my previous Triumph Rocket 111, I thought I would give it a go on the Wing as well.
Heaps smoother than the MCT, and to be truthfull, if you didn't know there was a CT on there, you wouldn't pick it. The CT doesn't feel any different than the MCT on the wing.



Regards Bob

What tire pressure did you end up with? I also have the same tire on my gl1800.

Looks like a good tire choice Bob. Have a safe trip, and take lots of pictures for us.
