Iowa BB-61 Senior Boarder Posts: 333 Re:Went over to the darkside today 1 Year, 7 Months ago   +1. I have the vredestien 175/75/16 and today on the highway at 90+ I backed off the throttle and the fight began with a big pucker factoid. The bike began to wobble like nothing I have encounter before since putting this tire on around spring time. I put a little back brake pressure on the tire which help to stable it, slow it down more and came back to normal around 75. I now have a little over 12,000 mile on it and will need to put the tire pressure back to 36psi as its now at 30psi. Don't get me wrong because I like it but if I can not find the same size tire when it comes to changing it, then I will go back to a MC tire. Have fun and after 100 mile or so you can then play with the psi to get the sweet spot!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #429737 07roadstar (User) U.S.S.

I started out at 38 psi so far it handles pretty good. I got up to about 70 with no surprises. Went back to my shop to adjust air pressure and the battery shorted.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #429920 COBRA_COMMANDER (User) Cobra Commander Wants You!

At 38psi and 95mph no shakes or wobbles,feels different, but I like it. The ride is better and I can stop a whole lot shorter. The best I can tell, the speedo is reading 6mph fast. Thanks yax for the helpful info.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #430089 Deedot (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 505 Re:Went over to the darkside today 1 Year, 7 Months ago   07roadstar wrote: I like it but if I can not find the same size tire when it comes to changing it, then I will go back to a MC tire.
