And with today's car tire technology you don't have to be so frightened!

So you most have 50,000 miles on that 2010 harley by now with 3 radial high performance car tires and your stock tire.

Nope, 70,000 miles on my Valkyrie with CT's, and I'm looking for a CT to put on my 2010 Super Glide once I wear out the original Michelin (probably in a month or so). Figure if it could handle a much heavier and more powerful bike like my Valk it ought to do fine with a little FXD.

I'm about 1000 miles into a 205/55/17 car tire (07 FLSTF). Yes, the slow speed turns are different and it does seem to track grooves in the pavement. Before the CT I went through (5) D407, never could get used to center of the tire bald with plenty of side tread left.

Cool! Another tire known to work on the wide tire Softy's. Excellent! Added to list.

Cadman: Why don't you give it a rest man. It's not like you will ever change anyone's mind. You're just acting like a petulant child now.
