I would personally steer away from Falkens, that's the only tire manuf that I have heard several wobbles and issues from that were fixed with a new tire.... but there's plenty of folks running them with no problems too.... :arrow:

the Hydro-Edge i looked at had a speed rating of T. 118mph. GYTT doesn't come 205/65/16, but in 205/60/16. speed rated H. 130 mph.

I have the hydroedge 205-70, dont know what the rating is on it but I can tell ya that it stayed together after too many top speed long hauls on my vtx, 127 indicated. The ratings they use are very conservative.

See you out there
