Anybody tried a used tire w/ good thread?
stayung Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:59 am
I bought a new tire last year to go darkside but it busted on the installer and broke his arm.
So got a MC installed. Time for another tire. Has anybody tried a used tire.
Will it be easier to pop the bead due to previous breakin.
I got a GoodYear Ultra GT 205/65/15 in good shape but has been previosly mounted.
Opinions????

Go for it.
Where you going to get it mounted?
Frank in Ft Mill will do it.
So come on, let's go ride. I'm in Ballantyne.

65 series is a little harder to mount than a 70 series. Make sure you really clean the rim good. Lube it up and take your time.
