Has anybody done any changes, gone back to a MC tire, had a blow out?

I am now running 28 PSI on mine, its a plush ride and sweeeeeet!

TooEasy, thanks for all the info on the car tire issue, I have thought about this for years and had forgotten about it till I read your thread on this forum. I have a question about the tire. Would you use a performance tire or an all season tire? I'm about to change my rear tire. Also do you know anyone that has ran a CT on a Softail Custom? I wonder if there was an issue with the small front tire.

 

Performance tire or all season tire work just as good, according to what I have seen in the posts in the Dark Side forum. I bought the High performance tire because I thought that it was a heck of a good price, then I was very pleasantly surprised when it turned out to work good. But I would use an all-season tire also.

There is a member in the Softail forum that already did the conversion, check it out, a lot of insight and good pics in his posts, it can save you from a lot of heartburn.

I don't think a smaller front tire would be an issue. I happen to have three wheels with tires, a 130/80R18 E3 radial, a 130/90B17 D408F and a MT90B16 D402. The 18" tire looks like a garden hose next to the 16" tire, lol. I tested with all of them, and all of them work good.
