BTW, I'd never run a car tire, the amount of sidewall abuse it takes to mount it, and get it to seal, seriously damages the integrity of the tire, IMHO. You need to pump up to 100 PSI's to get the thing to seat. Not a good idea.
I mounted mine myself and the side walls took no abuse and no were near 100 psi to seat the tire. Actually easier to mount than a motorcycle tire. So, no abuse at all to the tire. I guess I ride more aggressive than some so 6-7000 was about all I got. A Fatboy is not capable of enough lean angle to get on the side wall enough for the bike to slide out from under me. I got tired of wearing out an inch and a half of tread and the rest looking new and unused. I tried a car tire and I like it, rides great,corners great and breaking is improved.

How did you balance that tire?

Dyna Beads. Its a lot easier to put them in while your mounting it than through the valve stem.

Then you're running it, tubeless, on cast wheels? Or sealed, laced wheels?

I am running a car tire on my 13 king with the Mt I only got 7800 miles then seen wire in center. I now have over 5000 on ct and still looks new it only took 28 pounds of air pressure to seat it to my rim I run my pressure at 33 solo rider and 34 when I'm 2 up its been to dragons tail with no prolbems and Sturgis so my opinion don't knock it until you tried it and also my insurance company told me as long as the tire is street legal nothing will ever be said about it

Stock aluminum rim. If you have spokes just run a tube in it. You just have to put the dyna beads in the tube, probably easier to do before you put it in the tire.

I often wondered if the beads might damage a tube?

EXPLAIN THIS too your insurance company why your running a car tyre on your bike???? CLAIM denied...... hurt some one and the LAWYERS are going too sue your **** ..BE warned you clowns

TELL ME IM WRONG I might be rude but I know the difference between car and bike tyres


At least you have an appropriate name. " Any thing else and your a clown" for your information your is a possessive pronoun. I think what you wanted to say is "you're".
"IF your having mileage issues go too a touring compound rubber" The word too, indicates in excess. I think you would be more convincing if you use the word "to".


You like to throw a lot of names around and question peoples intelligence but it's not TOO effective when you can't spell basic words.


So we're the idiots?
