The Dark SideFor those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!
I ride a 2019 Roadking with HD 128" Stage 4 with 130hp/130tq.
I ride hard, quite a bit and tire does break lose easily.
Is the traction on a CT that much more as I wouldn't want to start breaking belts.
Wouldn't mind better traction but not TOO good to a point of breaking the belt.
Anyone in this Darkside riding hard with 130hp or more?
Definitely interested in going Darkside!
Do y'all have a picture section? 2019, 7k miles, Stage 4 128\", Vance & Hines exhaust, HD Agitator Wheels. Will have painted HD wrapper front fender very soon!
Consider this. I run a CT on the rear with a Twin Class sidecar the car alone weights 350 LBS. I do ride this aggressive when I choose. The extra drag and weight is much hard than many think and likely harder on a daily ride than on you ride.
I run CT's on a couple rigs and have run them on two wheels. All I suggest is you do your home work and decide if it is right for you.
If you have 18 inch in rear you have a lot of work to do to run a CT. There is NO CT tire in an 18 inch that will work. You need to covert to a 16 inch rear wheel and a 195/65r16 CT it will be about 1/2 inch wider and the same height.
