The reason they give for turning the tire around is the way the cords are laid. Not particularly a tire guy, just the reasons I have been told. jvcexc   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #490171 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 8081 Re:THE DARK SIDE !!!!!!!!! 1 Year ago   The 150 will fill your front fender well, but it will fit, you can also use the 130 Rear mounted in Reverse rotation if you want, same Perrelli and Route66 is the best choice. I have the 150 on mine and it's fine, have over 7,000 miles on it and it looks like the day I put it on. A wider tire will give you more feed back from the road, and sometimes that's good, other times it's not.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #490174 Rev.

Why reverse on the 130?   Logged     http://www.patriotguard.org/ http://myroadstar.webs.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #490269 SMOKINJOE (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 367 Re:THE DARK SIDE !!!!!!!!! 1 Year ago   this is for kia and anybody else that is considering the austone tire and has lowered their bikes by doing the flip. i found that i had to switch back to the factory hight. if i rode 2 up or hit a nice size bump riding solo that the tire would hit the rear gaurd that is in front of your tail lights.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #490279 gfolkert (User) Blah...

You just have to make sure the fender is on straight else you might have to grind a bit off the left or right side lower lip of the subframe.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #490287 gfolkert (User) Blah...

A rear is setup to pus out water from be driven... which means it spits it out with the Vs reversed from the front which do it using the V for stopping and "pushing" the tire. Its the difference between a driven wheel and a pushed wheel (or is that "drive wheel vs driven wheel" in ether case... one has water channels one way, the other wheel has them opposite.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #492162 FatJay (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1453 Re:THE DARK SIDE !!!!!!!!! 1 Year ago   Has anyone used this tire in it's entirety? How many miles did it last? Also, any thoughts on portawalls with this? That way you can keep the whitewalls.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #492204 kroyleahcim (User) For every action there will be a reaction.
