car tire choices
What are the darksiders running on the 09 and newer touring bikes? I would like to know size, style and brands. Is anyone running a 195-55-16? I know many run the 195-60-16. Thanks for any info.

I went with a Hankook Optimo H426 195/60/16 and I'm riding an 09' RK.
You can use the following conversion chart to find the right tire for you. Enter the size tire you are currently using and then the one that you want to use and you can compare the two. Keep entering different tire sizes until you find what one closest to your stock tire.
For example, my stock tire is a 180/65/16 and the one I wanted to and did use was a 195/60/16. The only difference between the two was that the car tire is .59 wider than the mt.

Looking forward to wearing out my original rear MT. At 10.6K miles and still got a few more K to go.
