tire

Well, I noticed I have an oil leak somewhere. It's pooling on my rear tire (kickstand side). I haven't noticed it leaking onto the floor though. Is this a simple seal that's leaking or am I in for a rude awakening at the stealership? Thanks All, Steeler

I just put my 18" rear wheel on my vmax with a metzler 180/55-18 marathon radial tire. With only 100 miles on the tire i picked up what looks like a staple. I pierced the tire and leaks. My local dealer told me they won't repair tires and all the manufacturers say never to repair a tire for...

To put it shortly, it's the worst tire I've ever used. It absolutely sucks. What? You want some details? Okay, I guess. Note: this is for a 150/90-15 rear tire. Dry traction: Mediocre at best. My Max with the Venture drive can keep it lit up through most of third gear before it finally...

Fixing to mount my new tires. I have painted stock rims and wondering for you guys that do your own what is your favorite tool of choice to get this done with the least amount of paint chipping:ummm:

I'm going with radial tires this year and would like to know what everyone is setting the tire psi to? Thanks

What do you guys on average pay to have your tires mounted & balanced? -Mike

Because people asked - I shall answer :) Like the original look of the white lettered Dunlop Qualifiers that came on the Max at some point in it's history? I sure did - as it really gives it that "muscle car" look. I was asked by three separate people this weekend at the bike show how I did...

I keep seeing pics with a stock rim wearing a car tire...does any one know what size can fit?.....

Just thought that i would pass on a good deal on tires. The soft hooks better than a shinko 003 U-soft and is better at high speeds. http://www.jcmotors.com/p-302-michelin-power-race-supersport-rear-motorcycle-tire.aspx

i installed a car tire on my max last night.and love it a165/80/15 clears everything corners great .i only got about 3000 miles out of the white lettered donlops.gave it great conseration took it out today put about 30 miles on it froze my kuhanas off just had to know not recomending i just say...

has any one tried the shinko 003 compund tire? im thinking about switching to it in the spring and just wanted some real world info on it. thanks.

Anyone ever used this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GScWPb8qcng

Anyone every try notching out their own swing arm to allow a wider tire to be installed? If so how much did you cut away and what size tire did you use? From what I've been reading you can install a 170 with no mods at all, but I'd like to go with a 190 or maybe 200. My swing arm has a couple of...

Hello Gents! A question for you! Put the Shinko 230 TourMaster on the rear,size 170/80/15. looks,rides very nice,blows away stock Dunlops! Finally hit 10,000! Anyway, putting on Sinko 230TM on front in morning,size 120/90/18,looks snug but doable, anyone running this size up front? As always...

Hello all, question! It seems a 100/90/18 is ok up front, staying with a mc tire in the back also. What is the beefiest size I can put on my stock 07 rear rim? I like the Metzeler or Dunlop. Cant wait 4 my SuperTrapps 2 come in! Thank you 4 any help!:confused2:

has anyone ran a 100/90/18 . if so what did you think? I really personally don't like the looks of the 110. scooter

do i need to remove the rear rotor and all the guts in the center of the wheel when i take the wheel in to have a tire mounted on it

Buddy is giving me a almost new tire for the rear of my 95 vmax, but it is a 140-90-15. how much difference is there than a 150-90-15. With, highth,? Will it be very noticable that is is smaller? Thanks guys.

What's your thoughts? Which rear tire spins the easiest? Which tire gets the WORSEST traction? I wanna throw one on for a few months just to light up & play hooligan for a while. I'm considering a Dunlop D404 as I can light that up with a 1400 Intruder. Anything better for that? My Avon Venom...

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of, or done, or seen a car tire put on the rear rim of a vmax, specifically the 86(i dunno if others are different). I know of people who've done it on other bikes, like Honda PC's, and Goldwings and gotten up to 20,000 miles out of a tire:clapping:. I...
