I will try that this week. I am going to be making a 20 to 30 mile highway commute daily this week so I am going to try and get it set. The 34 was really nice and I am anxious to see if it can get even better.

I can't for the life of me find a 175/75r/16 anywhere...it is the size to fit the pre- 2009 touring....I rode my buddy's 2010 Goldwing with a Michelin CT on yesterday and i could barely tell...only at parking lot speed....I will be trying it in the mountain in 2 weeks as we are riding up there...

Isn't that the Blizzak tire for snow and ice? I was wondering about premature wear issues since that tire is made to be used in winter. How is it doing?

I just ordered a tire from Universal Tire 175R16. All the No's looked great, should fit. It will be about 3mph fast then stock. It should be here by weekend I hope. Just yahoo universal tire 175R16, that takes me to the site. $143 plus shipping. Hope to run it to Texas the end of the month.

Got The tire from Universal Tire Thursday. Austone 175R16. Mounted up great. Started with 26lbs pressure, now at 36 lbs. The tire feels great. Did have to trim belt guard just a bit because of light rubbing, then I noticed that I had a spacer on the axles in wrong order, corrected that, might not of had to trim belt guard if I had noticed that spacer first.
Very please with tire. Tire should fit 08 and earlier Touring bike. I have an 07 ultra. Will be a makin a trip to Texas the end of the month. Should be a great trip. Oh run 200 miles and check speedometer with GPs and it was on the money on my girl so far.
Always A Marine!
