• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Whats Missing ?

Change the preasure all you want but your tire will still wear in the center if you do much high speed driving. They are just to weak to stay flat at higher speeds. Buy a car tire with a better re-enforced belt design that stays flat at highway speeds. People who are on the highway or interstate with the OEM tire a lot will have the highest tire wear. Those who are on back roads and in town more will get better tire wear. Just my openion on the weak sidewall and weak belt area of the OEM tire, can`t take the syntrifical force across the face of the tire.
 
HOLLY

I've seen pictures and she should smack you one for sure........................................................haha.................mike........:D.....:roflblack:...:thumbup:
 
It looks like its time to change tires. I run 28psi all the time in the rear tire. I am always afraid of blow outs when they get that thin--and they never happen when convenient. Tire pieces in your drive belt--etc.

Anybody who knows Holly can be sure that she's not even heavy-enough to hold the back end of the RS down... Thus we have the burnouts! :thumbup:

I'm thinkin one to many slaps to the side of the helmet keeps those burnouts solo...but we have heard of the mysterous stuck throtle:dontknow:

I also think the pony tails on Hollys helmet arnt just for looks...They create downforce to keep her on the bike

I saw this tire 2 sat ago and a group of us were discusing your very point about air pressure and since all of us were running 28-30 and having pretty much the same tire wear, we discounted air pressure. For Randy, he's lucky to have a free tire coming his way.

I just had a new tire installed recently and had them inflate to 26#. It doesn't handle as well as when I was running at 28-30. My tire had over 16,000 on it and looked much, much better than Randy's.

I have the evo sway bar and 2011 RT shocks/springs etc. Someone mentioned 21#; anyone else run that low.

I weigh in at 180# and my gf a whopping 105 and I tried both 28 and 30 and liked 30 better.
 
Maybe she ties them around his neck to keep her on the Spyder?? :dontknow: It would seem that would also work to help take the edge off of his quick starts... :roflblack:
 
I have 15,000 Miles and still seem to have quite a bit of rubber left in the center.
Probably 20% Highway- Rest secondary and back roads!

I'd leave it up where you were running before. The problem with this tire is the design. It will be awhile before I need a new one and when I do it will be a car tire.
