Double Darkside 03 Wing
Hi, I am running a Kumbo 195/55r/16 Run Flat 32psi. [car tire] on the rear and a Bridgestone Bt. Rear 130/70r/18 40 psi. [ M/C] tire on the front. What a smooth ride, dry or wet, about 20k miles on the rear and over 30k. miles on the front. Rode about all the back raods in Arkansas with out a problem. This is my second pair of tires. Can it get better than this ? Rodsworth

I'm running the same set up and am very happy with it. Looks like I'll get the same amount of wear out of the Kuhmo as I did the Continental. So far though I think I liked the ride of the Conti a little better than the Kuhmo, especially in the twisties.

Does it get better ? Yes! The Centramatic Blancers, no more balancing tires, Also I went to my friendly Discount Tire Store and they were out of Kumbo run flats, so I tried their 195/55-16 Bridgestone DriveGuard Run Flat, 30lbs.of air, The Car tire is round ! The rounder overall shape provides better balance for wet or dry handling, which is to say I could lean the Wing over with no, I me no effort! I almost lost it, the first time with the new tire, it is that easy ! I also had installed the after market tapered front steering bearings, this is great, it feels like a sport bike ! One more thing I have the Bridgestone Bt-45 Battleax Rear in the front 40 lbs of air, does this tire ever ware out ?
