What are Advantages of running Car tires vs Kendas tires ?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Got it, Knight. Makes perfect sense.

Your' very welcome .....Good luck it's not hard ...just takes awhile to remove the pieces and then put them back......making the holes longer with the carbide cutter is like a hot knife thru butter.........and PPPS.......you will have to put washers behind the bolts because the mounting holes are now larger.. Mike ....and sorry about the NO Pictures thing :gaah: :dontknow: :lecturef_smilie:

What Tire Pressure in your Bridgestone Potenza Tires?

I have Bridgestone potenza tires on the front and a kumho esta on the rear. I have had excellent results with these tires. The fronts have about 20000 miles and show little wear. A fellow RT rider helped me evaluate these tires. He had input on the new Spyder sway bars and has has built front ends for race cars. We rode about 20 miles on a curvy road at a good speed to bring the tires up to operating tempt.
We did 3 tempt checks on each tire at left, right and center . His stock tires showed even as my tires. This shows proper inflation for our tires. The air tempt was 95. His stock tires showed temps on the check of 115 and my bridgestones 105. His stock tires were running 10 degrees hotter than my tires.
I took a solo tour to northern Calif. from Ga last july and and had temps in areas, such as South Dakota
exceed 104. Tires did great. Rode a vary of roads. In the last few years I have made this 8000 mile trip on 3 different bikes, Gold Wing ST1300 and the RT and felt less fatigue and safer on the RT.
Leaving Spyder fest this year we rode into heavy rain several times and near Jasper Alabama we hit the eye of the storm. We had heavy hail with sizes above marbles. I ended up riding on through the storm with the tires and nanny doing their job. Going to Spyder fest I used about a half gallon of gas less at each stop than my friend. Main difference in the setup of the 2 bikes was tires.
This is my choice and not everyones.
