Potential newbie seeking advice

Hey guys. After months of deliberation and asking my VTXOA freinds their opinions, I am looking for advice on the best tire for my 02' 1800C VTX. I am thinking of a Goodyear Eagle Triple Tread 205/60/16. Is there any better choice according to your guys experience? Thanks for the input. I'm sure this is a huge discussion on this site, but I'm still a little confused on how to operate it.

BigT,

You got the hard part over...... It's deciding that this darkside thing might just do what most guys that have one say it will! Some 1800 guys will be coming on to help you with choice. Us 1300 guys don't run them so, it best to get advice from the guys who put there life on the line!

On your next issue of "how to operate it"..... I am assuming what you want to know if you need to ride differently than the motorcycle tire.....NONE! Just hammer down and it will do all you want it to do and more! Now, you do need to take it easy until the mold release is off, but after that...RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!.........I DO!
