C/T installed!
Got the GY triple tread 205/60 installed today. Went for a short ride and it was really rough. The rear end was getting pitced around bad. When i got home i checked the pressure and it was 45 psi. I lowered it to 36 and will try again tomorrow. I'm hoping it was the pressure making it handle poorly.

Mike, when I first installed mine (40 psi), it rode like a "Two Horse Wagon". I stuck it out for about 300 miles. Ended up running it at 32 psi when hot, so the cold psi will depend on the ambient temp. The ride is SMOOOOOOOTH as silk, even the wife comments on how much better the ride is. Also, shock pressure and rebound affects the ride quality. I run 17 psi in the shocks, and rebound @ 2. Give it some time, and you'll be glad you picked this tire.
P.S. It is great in the rain too.

OK Mike!! Welcome to the Darkside.
Cliff's spot on about air and shock pressure. Also, you should check and make sure everything's tight. Few years ago, I had Honda dealer install new rear tire. When I checked, got over a turn on the castle nut...by hand! I'm running 28lbs now with shocks at 15lbs and set on 3. PS: Ride up here and we'll put some miles on that tire!! ::) Suppose to have decent weather for next week or so.....
