    I just bought a set of Shinko tires from J&P for my 98 Harley FLSTF and wasn't worried until I took them to Harley to be mounted and they came just short of refusing to mount them. so now I am worried. I don't go far or fast anymore and my wifedon't ride with me she is too l ill these days so I guess i will see. The tires are the correct size for my bike 190 16 73H if i recall without looking. I used Dunlap since about 92 with good results maybe I should have spent the extra cash but retirement and money don't mix.

    This is the tire DunlopMT90B16 ) I currently have on my 2006 883 Sportster with a Voyage trike kit . I have tried different tires over the past 4 years I've had it & I have ran these tires 2x. I am having to replace them about every 6 months.....I don't have the mileage on this last one but am wondering if this is normal with these kits or do you recommend a different brand

  • @jamesa6272

    Time to get tires for my victory cct. Looking at the commander 3 . Read in several forum getting singing and wibble 25-35mph and at a high speed number? Have you had people return there commander 3 or heard of problems with that tire? Thanks

  • @blueballs5150
    @blueballs5150 5 років тому

    I want to put different tires on my drz125l. Street or dual sport tires as I cruise on streets more than hardcore dirt. Everywhere I look doesn’t have the exact size as the tire on it but the aspect ratio is a little more or less ( like 10 or 20 more or less). What numbers on the tire can you play with a little? Do any of you guys know of any street or dual sport tires I can use safely with the rims 70/100-19 r90/100-16? Thanks🤘

    CHECK YOUR AIR PRESSURE AT EVERY GAS STOP? HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU LEAVE ON A LONG TRIP? OR WHEN THE BIKE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW WEEKS? OR THE WEATHER TEMP. HAS BEEN CHANGING A LOT? TIRE PRESSURE IS USUALLY TAKEN WHEN TIRE IS COLD--NOT AFTER BURNING A TANK OF GAS WHEN TIRE IS HOT. OF COURSE, YOU NEED TO SELL PRESSURE GAUGES, FIX A FLAT, NEW TUBES, ETC.. NOT MUCH HERE FOR ANYBODY THAT HAS BEEN RIDING FOR A WHILE.

    How about a passenger rated rear touring tire on an 05' Electra Glide Police, that I added a tour pack to ? Me and my Honey are an additional 370lbs. 210 of that is me.

    • @jpcycles

      Any of these will work fine. These all have a load rating of 77, which is 908 lbs.www.jpcycles.com/2005-harley-davidson-touring-electra-glide-police-flhtp/tires/rear?N=28004765+28011928

    Can we install a tube tire and tube on a Harley Davidson rim marked suitable for tubeless tires?

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  7 років тому

      If a wheel does not need a tube, I would not install one. It can be done, but why add an extra part you don't need? Can you? Yes. Would I? No.

  • @mickc4633

    Are you saying every time I get cash check my tire pressure? What about checking a hot tire? I checked mine about once a week or before a big ride with the cool. Your thoughts please never heard of checking a hot tire When you do not since a problem. Thanks

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  6 років тому +1

      Heat will change the pressure in the tire a few psi. But if you are checking a hot tire and its reading low then it will read very low at average temps. I would recommend tire pressure check when fueling up. Also, an old racer trick is to use nitrogen to fill your tires, it isn't effected by heat. - Patrick

    im new to riding. my first street bike is a ninja 450. do i want a soft compound??

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  9 років тому +1

      It depends on your riding style and how you use your bike. If you want a more performance oriented tire with that really grips the road you want a softer, stickier compound. If you are more interested in mileage then you are going to want a harder compound tire.

  • @Gringorican

    does rim width matter with respect to tire size on spoke wheels?

    • @jpcycles
      @jpcycles  5 років тому

      yes, same as it matters to a mag wheel. Too narrow of a tire will stretch and flatten out, too wide of a tire will bulge on the sidewall.

  • @rorymclean7545

    Is 10000 miles on a rear tire normal...? Before my trip ,my tires seemed ok, but then I rode 3315 miles last week and I just looked at my tire now and it has no tread? It seemed to wear fast

    • @rorymclean7545
      @rorymclean7545 7 років тому

      My rear tire now has over 10000 on it,,,but for for some reason these past 3300 miles really wore them out
