and installed. Have not had time to finish putting everything back together but its looking good so far. When I get some miles on it I'll report back. I'm reading about needing a tpms for the run flat. I don't see why. I have that on both my cars and I wish someone would wipe their rear gear with it. I can't stand it.

Do you want to find out your tire is flat when you are screaming thru a sweeper?

Same thing could happen on a regular bike tire. In fact it happened to a friend who was pulling a trailer back home from Tennessee. Handled pretty crappy. I have about three hundred on it so far and love it. I'm going to wesern Illinois this weekend and we'll see.

From what I understand it's nothing like a low bike tire. Good luck, man.

I got it from the Tire Rack. Good price and I had it in less than a week.

I went to Joliet. The camper pulled like a champ and so far I have about a grand on the tire and couldn't be happier.

You can also buy the valve stem caps that change colors when tire is low...Just make sure to get the ones with the steel cap...They work fine and you can tell at a glance if tire is inflated to the right psi...Your can order the psi you want.32-34-36 and so on..
