2010 street glide going dark
I'm new to the darkside. i have seen a lot of post but I'm still looking for a little more info. I'm sick of getting 10k on a motorcycle tire that cost about 300.00 bucks I'm looking at a 195/60/r16 handkook h426 it's a 60,000 mile all-season tire. I'm I going in right way. how many miles really will a ct last on a street glide. Is there anything I need to know about going dark. Any info will be helpful, thanks

Re: 2010 street glide going dark
Any tire's mileage is inversely related to the amount of right wrist twisting.... A car tire just tolerates it a lot longer than a motorcycle tire will.
Welcome to the Darkside
Take it easy the first 100 miles or so,
the tire will be broke in and your muscle memory will have adjusted
to any handling difference the tire may have.

First your woman will mention how much better it rides - smoother.
Get the mold off and hit the twisties and you'll find it's going just where you point it; no wandering. But you'll wanna play with air
pressures, 2lbs. at a time for the first few hundred miles to find where it's best handling is. After that, it's all about the
TRACTION baby!

First report with the car tire on. I really like how smooth it rides now and it handles great but there is a lite wobble at 83mph and up I'm running one up the car tire is at 36 psi any suggestions

Add pressure first. You may have to go even 50 lbs., but work up first.
Computer balance, and there may be a few machines out there that adjust for lateral imbalance too; just not in my hood.
Then, Ride-On tire sealant/balancer. This helped mine more than anything besides pressures.

Adjust your pressure 2lbs at a time. Ride it a few days before changing it again.
For balancing, I have had great success with 3 oz. of Dynabeads for a rear car tire and 2 oz. in the front.

Dynabeads did not correct my wobble, but Ride-On lessened it a lot. I think that with the beads being more free to move than the thick gel, the
gel doesn't allow the lateral movement that beads do, although beads do great at centrifugal balance. IME, Ride-On does 3 things.
