bill strickland The Villages,  FL Wobbly on Highway I was really surprised by the way the bike developed a low speed wobble at 30 mph. Also when riding behind a semi at interstate speeds the bike also had a severe wobble on the front end when buffeted by the air from the truck. I never had this happen before I put this tire on the front. I am going to keep riding with this tire and see if it is the problem or maybe something else has occurred. I really like the price of this tire and want it to succeed. I only have a thousand miles on it so maybe its an anomaly and will cease.

Rich Calhoun Elk Grove,  CA This is a good tire for the money. I bought this tire for my Honda Valkyrie 1500CT. So far I am very pleased. The main reason I picked this tire was the price, but it handles every bit as well as the Metzeler 880 that I wore out previously. And it does it at half the price. Stability and cornering are great. Well, as great as they can be on a 900-pound cruiser. I can't comment on the wet traction or the tread life yet. I haven't ridden in the rain on it yet and I have only had the tire for a month. However, it has roughly 1000 miles on it right now and it still looks brand new. I put 10000 hard miles on my metzeler and that wore it down to the belts in a couple of spots, so we'll see what this one does. One last thing, the reason I dinged the stability a point is that the tire tends to track just about any imperfection in the road surface. Not a deadly flaw, but not perfect either.

Paul Rockledge,  FL 747 tire review Bike handles very good. Smooth ride and low sound from tires. Have used Meltzer, Dunlop, Avon and this is as good as any I have ridden. Tread life too early to know. The price is good and this tire is solid.
