Default The Car Tire Thread - Post Your Tire

In the interest of getting the info of what CT's others have mounted on their bikes in one thread; I thought it would be good to start this one in the tire section.

Please post Make/Model/Tire Type/Tire Size/Tire Height/Tire Width/and psi you like run in it. If you want to include a place to buy it; please do.

I'll start.

07 Night Train, Falken ZE 512 205/50R/17 40 psi, 24.5" H, 8.25" W, 40 psi
This will work on all wide tire Softail's.

I like the look of that tire, it'll be interesting how it works on my FB Lo when the stocker wears out (shouldn't take long, I have two Iron Butt runs planned yet this year)

Thumper,

I just looked in the database http://darkside.nwff.info/database.php you can use the same one as Turtle2, a Vredestein Comtrac 175/75-16. Your wheel is too narrow and it is difficult to find a tire for it, but there are a lot of happy people with the Vredestein.

Regards,
