Pavement, the 600lbs gorilla in the room

Thanks for the pressure guidance, I figured 15 was a little high, but seemed a good starting point. I went out again last night and did another 50ish miles with more trail & less road and I'm really enjoying the new tires. Even at the higher pressure, they soften the blow of rocks and other bumps that the stockers would pass through to the frame with a resounding THUD-THUD.

How is your high speed pavement steering at 10 PSI? To start last night's ride, I did about 4 miles at about 50 MPH to get to the trails, it handled the speed with the larger fronts fine

Steering is good. Drive around town all the time and never have any issues. Went about 5 miles at 60 mph a few weeks ago and she drove straight and true.

I'm running these.

Got about 5000 mostly highway miles on them, and have rotated them once. The rears wear faster than the fronts, I guess due to them being the drive tires. Still have about 50% tread. Had them machine balanced and they don't shake one iota.

Really good price! Wonder if they’re available in 8 or 10 ply....🤔
Do you know what diameter they are?

They are 8 ply and I don't know the diameter. My speedometer is off about 2 mph now according to the gps. I have been very pleased with them.

Your link says 6 ply, if they are 8 ply, even better. If you get a chance sometime to measure the height I’m interested in what it is, thanks.

If the link says 6 ply, that's what they are. Our terrain here isn't rocky, so there isn't much of a chance of sidewall puncture.

 

[russknight]

And, I'll measure the height.

Thanks.....👍
