Who is the tire master

[jtpollock]

On wensday the 11 th I put New Falkens ZE-512 on my RS used ride-on for the balencer went out for a short 12 mile ride it seams to work fine but not sure I got in a cloud burst and had about 10 miles home in a driving rain tires worked well in thte rain but not a long enough ride in the dry to tell. Has anyone tried the Falken ze tires? and what do you think of them? :dontknow: please let me know, we are still floating here I think I will trade in for a sea-do the way things are going here in Colorado. Ride safe. jtpollock

I had a ZE 912 on the back of my RT...
In REALLY wet weather; it took me on a couple of eye-opening rides... :shocked:
But that was after it was pretty wore out...
They handle well, and I got a little bit more mileage out of it than I did the Kenda.

Is Bob the only one out there I thought I might a lot more feedback on this I'm sure I am not the onlyone that put Falken ZE512 on the front end. Has anyone used the ride-on tire balancer? :chat: thanks for any input. :bowdown: jtpollock

Hi JT,
I'm not the only one; but I might be the quickest "on the draw"...

I've got the ZE 512 on all 3 wheels and I love them. I wanted to get 2 more for my wifes front tires but they no longer make the 512 in the size I wanted. I got 185 60 r 14. If you know of anyone who carries that size let me know and I'll buy them.

How did you get 185 60 in side the fender mine are 175 65's and I just was able to get them inside the fenders? :dontknow: thanks jt

I had Falken on the front of my RS with ride-on...took me 25,000 miles and was happy with the set up...I did go to a wider front tire...I think 175...looked better on the bike...filled out the fenders

 

[swrafey2000]

You have to remove the front fender bolts and put a 1/2 inch spacer between the fender and braket to raise it up

:agree: yes the fender are full and it looks a lot better it seems to turn easyer. Thanks for your replay I think I wll be happy but if I only get 25000 thats no better than I got with the kenda's that will only last me one year. ride safe. jt

I did not have to do anything to mine, nor anyone else we changed in the tire shop.

Ron,
Do you have access to a suitable tire in
175/60R-14?
This size seems closest to the originals as far as the diameter...

Bob, just read this, I will check this AM.

Bridgestone Potenza, but they are not in stock and very limited for others so I have to assume it's not a popular size.
