I think they have to be round.

Rubber is good too! Yes, I like the rubber ones! :thumbup:

[Ga Blue Knight]

Solid rubber is not recommended unless you have Elkas fitted.

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Get ones with treads, they are better if it's wet. :gaah: :agree:

OK. I'll play. And make sure they hold air.:clap:

Outer diameter must be bigger than inner diameter, or else you have a hole.

I really like my Falken ZE 912! :thumbup:

This question is gonna keep coming up by all the new riders coming onboard. It would be nice if some clever person with time on their hands could scan all the various tires used, sizes, etc and make it a sticky, maybe in some form that could be added to?

I departed a bit from the norm and put a 205/60-15 General Altimax RT on mine and it didn't upset Nanny. I chose a high milage tire as I'm a modest rider and wanted something that will give me more than 11K that the OEM gave. According to GPS my speedo is exactly 1 mile faster at all speeds.

Do you remember what the wear rating was for your General?
The Falken was 360. :thumbup:
I've put mine under the gun a couple of times, and mile speedo also reads just mph high at highway speeds as well. :2thumbs:

i am at a little over 40k on a kuhmo and no trouble with the wet roads.

No, I did this on purpose just to see who had time on their hands and zero between the ears. I got my answers. :bowdown:smoky

I ordered one of these late Sunday night and hopefully it arrives before the weekend. One of the reasons I picked that tire after much research on the board was it was also highly rated on Consumer Reports as well.

Consumer reports only listed two issues: Tread life is "poor" (for a car tire) at only 40,000 miles and it performs lousy in snow and ice. I can live with that in Southeast Texas (heat index of 105 today).

Besides with all that heat coming off the engine, it would melt the snow before it ever touched the tire :D.

I am riding a Falken now, and honestly I am really enjoying it. I am riding in all conditions (not snow but the rest). Thus far I have lost traction only on my 40 ish degree uphill driveway that is gravel. Otherwise, rain / heat / other has poised no issue.

I very willing to recommend this tire for its price and its ease to put on, you can have it on your backend for right at 90 bucks regularly, under 80 if you get it for 67

Good Luck out there, Ryde Hard or go home

Bob, the rating is 600AA and 70,000 mi. I have a set on my Corolla and really like them. Also they make front tires that will work on the RT when needed. Only have about 5-6K on it now so too early to predict wear; however, just glancing at it, still looks new. I run 28 lbs in it, 18 front.
