chevysoldier Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Mounted a car tire on the V Star this past weekend. I've been doing a bunch of research and finally pulled the trigger. Biggest reasons were cost and tire life. Commuted a few times to work, even yesterday evening in the downpour, and I have to say I like it a lot! Traction going straight is excellent and even in turns feels just as good as a motorcycle tire. I also went from a using a tube to tubeless since I had the tire off.

durk Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I think I’d be scared to death to lean on that thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Not for me but as I understand it from the Wing people that do it a lot, once you get the air pressure figured out is is pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I started at 38 or 40 psi and ended up really liking it at 32. Feels solid, like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have over 80,000 miles on the darkside. I love it and will never go back to a MC tire on the rear of my wing. I always use a run flat tire 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
