So my car rim laced to my motorcycle hub is OK with a car tire?.............Ran it for many years.

 

I never have seen that anywhere. Thanks for posting that info. Put's a different perspective on going "DARKSIDE", doesn't it?

 

Fortnite dug into the whole "darkside" thing, and pointed out the issues. It can work, people have done it successfully, but there are definite issues, which raise the question of whether it's a good idea overall. The rim stuff is about 4 minutes in, but the whole thing is worth watching.

 

Of course those are tube tires. For what it's worth.

 

As are many NEW Harleys.

 

Bike tires are more complex to read wear than a 4 tire vehicle but it's still there. Too much air wears the center out, too low tends to cup the outsides. Since I now have a tpms system I'm more intrigued by pressure build up as the front on my flhtk builds normally 4 psi hot and air temp runs true to ambient temp. The rear builds 10 psi and air temp runs 20° more than ambient. So I'm dropping the rear a few lbs from recommended as I run 2 up and packed 90% of the time and I tend to wear out center tread early. So this set of Dunlop AE's are about toast. I'm eager to see what happens for the next set.
