Darkside is done

[ccmjr77]

I got the hankook 195/60/16 mounted this morning. I have put about 50 miles on it at 40psi and I was suprised that it seems to ride so well. I thought it would be very different and take a little to get use to it, but rode great, even at the high psi. So far I like it.

Attached is a picture. Please ignore dirty bike.

Welcome to the "DarkSide" :wave:. In a few hundred miles, after the tire gets used to it's new home, and you find your "sweet-spot", you're gonna like it even more, :yep:

After you get accustomed to the difference in counter steering in the deep corners, you might want to lower the PSI some. The CTs last a lot longer. 40 will give you more center wear and a little stiffer ride. I run 28-30 in my GYTT.

Thanks to you and Mark for your answer. I just put a bike tire on mine about 3000 miles ago so just looking ahead to when I have to change it again soon!
