Need feedback from other bikers: Last Aug I got the New Fat Boy Lo equipt with Dunlop D407 rear tire. Yesterday I went in for FIRST Replacement at: 12,500 miles. I never has that kind of mileage from any rear tire. IF Anyone got better mileage from a rear tire – PLEASE e-mail details

I made this video 1 year ago to proove thet Car Tires are NOT suitable for motorcycles.
Motorcycle tires for motorcycles and car tires for cars PERIOD!
One year ago I said I would rather put motorcycle tires on my car than car tire on my motorcycle.

I still have the CT installed, I have to admit I was wrong. It is not much difference. I have even measured stopping length difference with CT and MCT. I reduce the stopping length with 15% at 50mph. !!!
I have more than 15000 miles on his tire now, and I`m sure I can get another 10K.

General Altimax 205/55/16 rear tire. Camera mounted under the bike.

Compare this video with “VALKYRIE DARKSIDE VIDEO” Bridgestone 200/60-16RR rear tire. Camera mounted under the bike. Same bike, same road, same rider, same speed, same day.

I have a car tire on my Valkyrie. I will never go back to a motorcycle rear tire on that bike as long as I own it.
I don’t think I would put a car tire on a sport bike, but on my cruiser the car tire is fantastic.
adios
