First of all ; THANKS for the great information on the numbers that are on the tiers. I am a student once again after 25yrs,and looking to buy a used bike. I am 6"2,210 pounds and your recommendation on what to look for when is time to purchase would be much appreciated.
I just bought a set of Shinko tires from J&P for my 98 Harley FLSTF and wasn't worried until I took them to Harley to be mounted and they came just short of refusing to mount them. so now I am worried. I don't go far or fast anymore and my wifedon't ride with me she is too l ill these days so I guess i will see. The tires are the correct size for my bike 190 16 73H if i recall without looking. I used Dunlap since about 92 with good results maybe I should have spent the extra cash but retirement and money don't mix.
This is the tire DunlopMT90B16 ) I currently have on my 2006 883 Sportster with a Voyage trike kit . I have tried different tires over the past 4 years I've had it & I have ran these tires 2x. I am having to replace them about every 6 months.....I don't have the mileage on this last one but am wondering if this is normal with these kits or do you recommend a different brand
Nice video. I have a 05 stock sportster with stock Dunlop tires. They are starting to feel slippery. What tire would you suggest for a stock 05 sportster 883?
I want to put different tires on my drz125l. Street or dual sport tires as I cruise on streets more than hardcore dirt. Everywhere I look doesn’t have the exact size as the tire on it but the aspect ratio is a little more or less ( like 10 or 20 more or less). What numbers on the tire can you play with a little? Do any of you guys know of any street or dual sport tires I can use safely with the rims 70/100-19 r90/100-16? Thanks🤘
Time to get tires for my victory cct. Looking at the commander 3 . Read in several forum getting singing and wibble 25-35mph and at a high speed number? Have you had people return there commander 3 or heard of problems with that tire? Thanks
How about a passenger rated rear touring tire on an 05' Electra Glide Police, that I added a tour pack to ? Me and my Honey are an additional 370lbs. 210 of that is me.
Any of these will work fine. These all have a load rating of 77, which is 908 lbs.www.jpcycles.com/2005-harley-davidson-touring-electra-glide-police-flhtp/tires/rear?N=28004765+28011928
CHECK YOUR AIR PRESSURE AT EVERY GAS STOP? HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU LEAVE ON A LONG TRIP? OR WHEN THE BIKE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW WEEKS? OR THE WEATHER TEMP. HAS BEEN CHANGING A LOT? TIRE PRESSURE IS USUALLY TAKEN WHEN TIRE IS COLD--NOT AFTER BURNING A TANK OF GAS WHEN TIRE IS HOT. OF COURSE, YOU NEED TO SELL PRESSURE GAUGES, FIX A FLAT, NEW TUBES, ETC.. NOT MUCH HERE FOR ANYBODY THAT HAS BEEN RIDING FOR A WHILE.
It depends on your riding style and how you use your bike. If you want a more performance oriented tire with that really grips the road you want a softer, stickier compound. If you are more interested in mileage then you are going to want a harder compound tire.
Are you saying every time I get cash check my tire pressure? What about checking a hot tire? I checked mine about once a week or before a big ride with the cool. Your thoughts please never heard of checking a hot tire When you do not since a problem. Thanks
Heat will change the pressure in the tire a few psi. But if you are checking a hot tire and its reading low then it will read very low at average temps. I would recommend tire pressure check when fueling up. Also, an old racer trick is to use nitrogen to fill your tires, it isn't effected by heat. - Patrick
Is 10000 miles on a rear tire normal...? Before my trip ,my tires seemed ok, but then I rode 3315 miles last week and I just looked at my tire now and it has no tread? It seemed to wear fast
I called this morning trying to get some help on a part instead i was met with attitude and annoyance. Not good for a business depending on it's customers.

Is there any quick side of the road puncture fix for tyres with tubes. To get you down the road to get a proper repair or new tube

If you have to have tubes can you use a tire like a Michelin commander 3 with a tube or are there tires that are just for tubes
I currently have American elites on my Chief vintage and want to try ME888's what is your opinion?

Can we install a tube tire and tube on a Harley Davidson rim marked suitable for tubeless tires?
If a wheel does not need a tube, I would not install one. It can be done, but why add an extra part you don't need? Can you? Yes. Would I? No.

im new to riding. my first street bike is a ninja 450. do i want a soft compound??
It depends on your riding style and how you use your bike. If you want a more performance oriented tire with that really grips the road you want a softer, stickier compound. If you are more interested in mileage then you are going to want a harder compound tire.
What is the tire pressure
Are you saying every time I get cash check my tire pressure? What about checking a hot tire? I checked mine about once a week or before a big ride with the cool. Your thoughts please never heard of checking a hot tire When you do not since a problem. Thanks

Tell us what the different color dots mean on the side of the tires. That come from you.
does rim width matter with respect to tire size on spoke wheels?
yes, same as it matters to a mag wheel. Too narrow of a tire will stretch and flatten out, too wide of a tire will bulge on the sidewall.
Is 10000 miles on a rear tire normal...? Before my trip ,my tires seemed ok, but then I rode 3315 miles last week and I just looked at my tire now and it has no tread? It seemed to wear fast
My rear tire now has over 10000 on it,,,but for for some reason these past 3300 miles really wore them out
What tire and bike? Mileage varies between both.
I called this morning trying to get some help on a part instead i was met with attitude and annoyance. Not good for a business depending on it's customers.
can all tubless tires also use tubes??
yes
You are incorrect sir, not all spoke wheels need a tube!
The music in the background of this video is extremely annoying.
A lot of good info...but literally no information on choosing the right tire. Not really counting making sure you have the right size...
wow.... anyone that needed that info really shouldn't be working on their own bike but thanks. Lol
Turn that damn music off, it is NOT needed at all, I want to listen carefully to the man giving the great info and NOT the music, thank you.
Every gastop check your tire come on man you know you don’t even do that yourself
Are you kidding me?! How can any biker not know his tire size ?!
Porkchop's Papi You wouldn’t know yours till you looked it up or were told 🤷♂️
What would be great is if we could hear what he is saying instead of that ridiculous music drowning him out.
Hard to hear with that stupid music
Makes me want to eat ribs.
annoying background music
