Has anyone used this tire? It's the right size, load rating, great looking profile and tread pattern, and the price is right. I'm looking at the 205/60/16. My local tire store where I buy my car and SUV tires will also mount a car tire on my motorcycle rim for me.

This is probably the best place to look to see who runs what tire...

I highly recommend that you consider using Ride On to balance the tire. Works great for me!

I ran this tire on a Vakyrie Interstate for 10,000 Kms. Probably 15,000 Kms left on it when I sold the bike. I ran 36 # in it but adjust to your liking. I got sparks long before the tire ever gave any inkling of letting go. I paid $159.00 Cdn for it and mounted and checked balance myself. No balance required ( line up the dot). I'd never go back to M/C rear tire. Run your front at 40 psi or so (disregard the owners manual - they're only interested in liability).
Dark side rules, Rear m/c tire drools.
