New Tire.
I bought a new tire for my bike today. It is a Michelin Hydroedge 205/65-16.
Yes it is a car tire. That is what is called the darkside. (a car tire on a motorcycle)
Now you may say"but thats crazy!" well... isn't riding a motorcycle a little crazy anyway ?
I have been following the CT v.s. MT debate for a while now and have decided to check it out.
Besides the fact that a car tire is less expensive, it will last 4 times as long.
I bought a MC tire for over $200.00 last spring and only got about 8000 miles out of it.
The CT cost me $140.00 and is a 50.000 mile warrenty.
A CT also has twice as much contact with the road for better stopping power.
Here's a pic of the tire.
