FYI: If you support the wheel, there is no need to hammer the axle out and risk damaging the treads. It will just slide out easily. I sit behind it on a rolling seat and use my feet to support the wheel and just pull the axle out with my left hand. Not critiquing or criticizing, just offering up a helpful tip.
@@MathieuTechMoto I can't believe you didn't mark up your rims doing that without protectors. I would have scarred the hell out of them lol. I love my BeadPro's but wished I would have gone for the longer ones like you have as I just don't get near the leverage from the shorter ones. Let us know how you like running darkside on your Vstrom. I've considered it since I tour exclusively on mine and it's nothing to go thru two rear tires in a year.
@@andrewcole3425 I now use 42psi as pressure, tried 34psi and this was a very soft ride, the tire flex and make the bike feel wobbly, at 42psi feels really good, i often pass over potholes but the rear tire is so large that it just goes over them lol
I am tempted to try this on my vstrom. Many people use car tyres on many different bikes. People who appose are scared to try something different. I come across a great tip using a ratchet strap around the bike to support wheel. I tried it and was amazed how easy it made the job . Cheers
Thank you for sharing, i did about 20 000 kms on mine but came back to motorcycle tire because i was tired of the squared handling, i guess that it would be better on an heaviee bike
Mainly for very high longevity, you can easily get 40k km (25k miles) of a single rear tire This is a very popular practice on Goldwing's because of the overload on stock motorcycle tires On a V-Strom you better just keep riding on motorcycle tires
Wonderful video! I have a Yamaha MT-07 (5.5 inches rim size), what car tire i can use? 205/50/17 or with less width? Just for note, the Vstrom 650 has 4.5 inches rim size, and the 175/55-17 do not exist on my country (Brazil), is not a option. Thanks
Hi, glad you enjoyed, 17 inch car tires are hard to find narrower than 205, you would need to measure the width of your swingarm and compare with the tire you want to install, i would suggest keep using motorcycle tires unless you are doing very long trips Cheer !
Salut, comment est le feeling avec un passager? Je pense serieusement a faire ceci. On roule souvent a deux avec les saccoches pleines. Jai un strom 650xt 2018. Et hors route? Gravel surtout
La moto a tendance à suivre les inclinaisons de la route avec un pneu d'auto, les symptômes sont amplifiés avec un passager , la tenue de route à haute vitesse est bonne , la longévité exceptionnelle , mais hors route dans les petits chemins la moto se fait incliner de tout les sens et il faut la combattre Sur la gravel ça fonctionne très bien et la moto est stable
What Brand Tire/Size is that ? And why did you choose that side to add Weights? Also Friends that have Darksided typically run less than 40psi, Which is what I run.. 38-40 psi on M/C tires in the rear.. 36-38 Front
That is exactly the pressures i run too, thank you for asking the tire size , had forgot to write in the description, it is a Maxtrek M900 winter tire, size is 205/50R17 , maybe it's fast in the video but i've put same amount of weights on both side of the wheel, thank you for watching !
@@MathieuTechMoto hello sir. I have a dl650 2008 model and tyre size is 150/70/17 ..what do u recommend as car tyre size to replace it? Ur kind reply is appreciated. Thank u
@@fred.gram67gram32 Good morning, i had a Maxtrek m900 winter tire with a lot of tread for offroad , but i don't recommend car tire as it will have poor handling, especially with a passenger or offroad the bike angle will want to follow every inclinaison of the terrain, now i use Shinko 705 MC tires, unless you need a long lasting tire for long trips i would suggest to stay on motorcycle tires , you could probably have about 40 000km life off a car tire tho
@@MathieuTechMoto hello sir. Thank u for the reply . Am sorry to bug u with this issue but I guess u have the prompt answer . I need to change to car tire coz it has more grip as u know but my question is did u ever slide/slip when u had a car tire ? Any accident at curves ? Unusual out of control issues ? In lebanon ,where I live , roads are so bad and grip is almost weak , many mountains and hills around. Now it's winter here . The mt900 is the line but what size did u use X/Y/17 ?? Is it 205/55/17 ? When u changed to car tire did the back of v strom get lower ? ur advice values sir and thank u again . If I change to car tire I will send u photos if u wish. Have a good day sir
@@MathieuTechMoto yeah still have it. But the problem with this is that it only takes a 175 rear tire, so very difficult to find tires for it. I looked for your tire and can't find it.
The only drawback to me is using a 205/50-17 car tire on my DL650 will make it taller still. Lol I was wanting to lower it some ! But great idea. I Darksided my 2006 Burgman 400 and it was an instant upgrade.

@@MathieuTechMoto get off the road and ride that thing :) for straight riding, I have other vehicles. Jokes aside, I was considering it a few years ago, but here in EU, insurance issues prevented me from doing it.

How would you describe the grip when offroad? Is it better or worse than normal dual-sport tyres?
There is a lot more grip but train tracking on lateral slopes and imperfections is horrible
Okay great vid, but why would you do that? Are there any benefits?

Good looking tire!
Gonna ck if they have it in a
195/65 15
That tread looks great!
Not quite a knobby, but better!
Going Darkside on my cruiser. 👍🏻
Check for Economist ATR-K tire, these are rare but if you find one they have 175/55-17 size
Thats a beefy tire! I might get that
Yeah, it has gobs of grip on and offroad, would love to see a darkside tire on your tenere 1200 if you still have it !
@@MathieuTechMoto yeah still have it. But the problem with this is that it only takes a 175 rear tire, so very difficult to find tires for it. I looked for your tire and can't find it.
Yeah thats what i rode in the forums, they are very hard to find, would love to have a 175 instead of 205
Well done !
Yeah !

What tire size did you use for the burgman 400? I did a 3500-mile trip and about burnt through a tire. I feel that may be my next upgrade !

Why would I put a car tire on my bike?
A lot more grip on and offroad, smoother and quieter than my old Shinko 705, super stable on highway, if you doing a long trip a car tire will last about 40 000km , my shinko 705 was used up after only 13 000km, this tire already have 10 000km on it and still like new

@@MathieuTechMoto get off the road and ride that thing :) for straight riding, I have other vehicles. Jokes aside, I was considering it a few years ago, but here in EU, insurance issues prevented me from doing it.
so you don't have to change the tire every week?
@@gizzyguzzi Dafuq, my rear lasts 25 000 kms
lol !
Yeah !
It's more than unprofessional, it's pathetic...
Thank you the support, glad you loved it :D
