#213769 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Ok end all the tire debate, beat this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GScWPb8qcng&feature=channel_page I hear some use Darkside CT's like this too. WOW, That would be my winter recipe!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #213773 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Went to the web site looking for prices. Gotta call for them. Guessing it's kinda pricey. Worth it for the time and $ for flat repair but how it affects tire balance is a concern also. Good idea though. That idea coulda been my retirement fund. Greyphart   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #213774 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   These might be the next best thing in tire technology. I dunno. A solid rubber tire won't get a flat either, but somehow I think handling would be altered dramatically. I think some more research needs to be done before I'm gonna run right out and slap on a pair. Early Adopter I ain't! I'll watch and wait. -M7   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #213794 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o! Moderator Posts: 3508 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Well next time I want to run over a board full of nails or drill a screw in my tire I will give them a call. I don't think it would be worth it. I could buy a bottle of slime too Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #213880 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   smhowse wrote: Well next time I want to run over a board full of nails or drill a screw in my tire I will give them a call.

I could buy a bottle of slime too Steven Exactly, I think I have had maybe 3 or 4 flats in my 40 years of riding, and most of those were on dirt bikes when I was a kid. I think I had 1 flat one time on my Electra Glide. Other than that, I can't remember a flat on a street bike. Just lucky I guess. I bet those tires are expensive.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #213999 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 375 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I've had 1 flat on my street bikes. I carry a tire repair kit complete with CO2 and I was back up and running in minuets.

Expert Boarder Posts: 496 Re:Best tires for us. 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I haven't seen the video or the product, but if it's ANYTHING like the solid ones for bicycles, steer clear! We wouldn't install them OR work on bicycles that had them on already when I worked as a wrench/salesman for a bunch of years as a younger man. They are hard on suspension and welds (and riders!), and don't handle worth a DARN. I agree with a previous post, not much that I've run into that does a better job than Green Slime!

I was running my 76 Superglide up the inside runoff lane on the 4 lane one way freeway overpass (Brookshire Blvd) that spaned 10+ lanes of interstate 85 at about 70mph to get around stopped rush hour traffic when I suddenly came up on a mangled up spoke hubcap and had a total failure of my 19" front tire. After I got my britches and the seat cover broke loose out of my butt cheeks, I slow rode it a few miles to a gas station and called my friends I was headed for to come and get me, but damned if I aint pretty sure they waited till rush hour and happy hour were over. Maybe it's just me but wide 16's never seem to hit my stability as hard as the tall narrow ones.
