Welcome to the darkside! cheers
General Grabber UHP is a car tire. I heard it a great tire to run. To balance you can use dyna beads. Here the link. www.innovativebalancing.com

KB head over to Kewanee then south on 78. Just before you get to West Jersy there is a one man shop on the right. Its owned by a guy named Charlie. I took the tire off the bike, and he charged me $10 to mount the douglas. Said he'd never heard of such a thing before. If you use dyna beads, great otherwise he charges $10 to balance it.
