cmh_sprint Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Great weekend! Meet some members I hadn't met before. Northern Georgia was amazing! Thanks to Tim for leading a wonderful ride. I have to agree with Scuba that October is much more enjoyable than June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yea, going in June is retarded. It is the rainiest month of the year. Took me several years to learn that the hard way. It is also their tornado season. I know this first hand as I had a tornado cross 81 in front of me one day as I was heading down. It was taking semi's from the truck stop across the freeway and dropping them into the farm on the other side. Early May if it gets warm enough, otherwise July or later. My name is Tonik, I am a recovering retard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) So I just mounted this a few weeks ago.3000 miles on it and lots and lots of tread in the middle but the sholder to the edge is pretty much gone. This is the rear, the front looks absolutely perfect. So I ha e my front suspension dialed in need to figure out the rear.

[emoji38] Need to plan a all slab trip to get my monies worth out of these tires. I have the oposite problem most people have..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 You need to get a different tire for that heavy bike. Dad rails his C14 all weekend and has better tire wear than that. Granted he only gets 3-4k out of his tires they wear better than that. He runs the pr3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well, look at the bright side. These are wearing so fast you will be trying the next brand sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ran the Angel Gt was looking for more, decided to try these T30s guess I'm still looking. Was it the T30GT? If not, this would be your problem, the regular do not stand up to the extra weight. Looks like to much flex and heating of the side of the tire when leaned over. GT has much stiffer carcass and is made for the heavier sport touring bikes. If this is a GT then maybe your shock is due for a rebuild?

dustinsn3485 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've got the angel GT on my bike and can roast a set of tires in 4000 miles. Dad put the angel gt's on his c14 and got about 2000. He's had the bike since 08 and since the pr3 came out, that all he uses. Stands up best to the brutality of that bike on tires. Unfortunately they are discontinuing those and the pr4 suck. So not real sure what he plans to do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've played with that too and it's a true story. Only benefit you get from lower pressure is grip and as you seen this weekend I have very little to no problems with that.I just need to realize it's one of those "it is what it is type of things". it's a super heavy bike with a heavy rider hitting the corners like a "fucking race bike" [emoji38] Just have to deal with a new tire every 3 to 4 thou Edited October 16, 2015 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Have any of the Connie asshats you know tried any of the dual compound tires? I realize they are not as sporty but they might be a decent compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaler Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Feel like it's suspension related...Did you adjust preload with the heavier load (packed for trip)? Or do you keep the same setting as unloaded all the time. How many miles are on the bike? There are a lot of bearing and pivot points on a C14 swing arm and any sloppy pivots could reak havoc on a rear tire. If you have more than 20k on the bike, the shock could need service as well.

I guess the bright side is you get new tires quicker. Everyone loves the feel of two new tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have more than 20k on the bike, the shock could need service as well.This is a huge point. My father fabricated and redesigned his entire rear end because the stock is so sloppy. It had improved his tire wear and stability at high speeds.To the air pressure comment, he runs his tires at recommended pressures and gets good wear. The pr3 is dual compound and it does well. He's also got traxxion dynamics front and rear suspension work done to the bike.Tim, if you have any real questions about the bike I'm sure he can provide an answer that might help you out. He's got 90k on the c14 he owns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
