Iron, what tire size is that?

 

170 /60 R -17 it’s 6.5 in wide and will fit on my 2005 Deuce .

 

 

You could slap a 45 dollar car tire on there and ride.

 

I was thinking he could ride it most of the way to the crash site. After he fell off, it'd crash.

 

So... How many more miles did you get out of that tire?

 

I didn’t say I was done. I’m just saying, I got the ideal tire to replace it.

 

Damn, thats a meaty looking tire.

 

Yes the center has about 1/8 inch more rubber then the sidewalls . Which is the way a motorcycle tire should be made . Since 90% of most guys never wear out their chicken strips . And maybe just maybe a tire competitor will see this tire and make something like it .

 

I thought the same thing, then it occurred to me that with this much groove in the tread, there is actually LESS rubber touching the road than with a more traditional street tire pattern; which leads me to suspect the mileage will actually be less.

Think about how running a set of mud terrain tires vs a set of radials works... the reduced surface contact area means more wear. And they are louder , which probably won't make any noticeable change on the bike.
This should provide tremendous traction on loose ground though.
