He didn't mention another set of very important numbers: the DOT code on the sidewall, which reveals the date of manufacture. You really don't want to put an old tire on your bike, even if it's, "Brand-new". The compound hardens as it ages, just sitting on the tire rack.
Very educational and you can tell that the person speaking knows exactly what hes talking about. You hear the experience not to mention his ability to place emphasis on the matters that need to be noted when picking the tire you want. Again great video and im subscribing.
I used Dunlap tires since 92 they been great tires. I just bought a set of Shinko tires from J&P for my 98 FLSTF and wasn't worried until I took them to Harley to be mounted and they came just short of refusing to do it. So now i am worried but I don't ride far or fast and I ride alone now days so I will see. (these tires are the correct size for my Harley)
In choosing the right tire, because todays tires have so many different compounds, and so may variations, even in tread depths, in would be helpful if those who sell the tires would give out all the important information, such as which compound tends to give the best mileage, which is the best for wet roads, which is meant for something in between, compromising a bit of grip for greater mileage, etc. Tires today seem to be big on technology, and how they are sold seems to me to be low on important information a buyer might be interested in. Even a listing of models of tires, going from longest lasting compound to greatest grip would be helpful. It would be nice to know where the tire we are looking at, would fall in the list. I would also like to know the tread depth when I am looking at a tire. Even seeing a ad that said something like, "The new Roadeater ZX1150, has X type compound for super grip, but will not likely last as long as a Treadwearer XS 47, which is designed for sport touring. If you want a high mileage tire which will not give you quite the grip, consider the Potholes 900." That would be helpful. This isn't always done when we see ads for tires, making it difficult sometimes to know what tire to try. I also like to read all the specs.
i want to add some ground clerance/ height to my motorcycle.. it has a front tire 70/70-12 and a rear 205/30-10 if possible i would like to keep the same rims amd just add a higher sidewall height..what tyres would you recommend for me to switch to and I don't care about speed or spedometer reading I just use this to drive around Washington DC and the speed limit is 35 I think in the city
He didn't really answer the question of putting tubeless tires on tube type rims. I found out the hard way that there are 2 different types of tube type rims. Both types require the use of an inner tube, but one type can be used with a "tubeless" tire, the other cannot.

I've ordered my last product from J&P cycles.
Wow Thank you for going over the tube tire part. I'm actually shopping for a 170/80 -15.
