Why you should put a Car Tire on the back of your bike...

Krusty, what sizes fit on 09/10 touring bikes? I only got about 7000 miles out of the oe tire, bout half way through the second, and the season has just started.
I mentioned this to my buddy who is the service manager at my local Harley store, he was very sceptical, and said he would neither mount the tire, nor would he pass the bike for pa state inspection. I think if I got the bike inspected, ran the tire for the next year, then he would be ok with it.

I'm trying to figure out what to put on my Super Glide. I've run CT's (on 3rd CT) on my Valkerie for about 70K now, and am very happy with them. We don't have bike inspections here. When I first approached a mechanic (a metric mechanic) about mounting them he was sceptical as well (but he did it without any hesitation), though he'd heard of the practice on the Valkeries and Goldwings, but his opinion has moderated since he's now had a number of people make the same change. Apparently they keep coming back alive, and happy with the CT.

You might check these out as a possibility for the new touring bikes. Lower profile but that shouldn't be a problem with the high 6th gear.
