After doing some really intensive research were I consulted a Ouija board, I have decided that using tractor tires on the back of my RKC is debomb, and totally safe.
I like the look of the big lug ag. tires, but can see how a tire that can can be water filled (for ballast) will grip the road better, so I'm undecided between an ag. tire or one with the width of a phat ole turf tire!!
The water filled ones could double as a canteen, and on long trips that caused the water to get warmer ... one could stop and make up some really nice tea to have with crumpets (warmed up on the rocker covers so some vegamite will melt on 'em).
The prices are certainly right ........ and I'm sure one of these would last forever on my bike.
I can't believe they aren't OEM and/or that the tire mfg's aren't pushing them to bikers. (????)
I mean ..... just look look at these babys ......... http://www.lesschwab.com/tires/farm/flotation.asp
And the big plus ...... if the economy gets worse ...... I just hook up a plow to the back and charge all them "victory gardeners" a buck-ninety eight to plow up their back yards.

 

And just think of the traction in snow, or even on gravel!

Never fear dirt roads on your touring bike again!

And the rooster tails that thing will throw up into the air on a rainy day, man, just think of it!

 

Personally, I would go for the fat tire look, some of them bad boys like you find on a UKE. At about 8' tall and probably 3' or wider, they provide great ground clearance and you can shitcan your jiffy stand to lighten up the bike a bit. When you're stuck in traffic you should be able to easily roll over anything that has some slope to the back of it. Not only that, but according to my sister's friend's cousin's mother's fourth husband they are perfectly safe for motorcycle use, he found a site on the internet saying so, and we all know if it was on the internet it has to be true. After all, the internet is government controlled and we all know the government would never lie.

 

Apparently someone was bothered by a(the) Darkside thread.

yawn...

lp

 

i know you're talking about the rear tire , but will one fit on the front of a crossbones ?

 

makes as much sense as a car tire

 

Someone must have p*ssed in his grits this mornin' ..........

 

As I consult the Ouija board ... the answer is ....... just a minute ........ "YES!"
I'm going to start using a magic 8 Ball, it seems to be faster the the board.

 

Now that's a cheerfull thing to say .......

 

hey! don't stop now I'm bout to get a beer popcorn

Kroozeabout.
