3000 mile update on the GY TripleTred
Back about the beginning of August I installed a Goodyear TripleTred 205/60-16 on the back. It did take a little "getting used to" but now I'm VERY impressed with this tire. I have ridden in driving rain with rivers running across the road (remember all the rain we had in Georgia last month), ridden on just wet roads, ridden the twisties through Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, and not once did I feel uncomfortable. The tire out-preformed any Bridgestone, Metzeler, or Avon Cobra that I have had on the bike so far. The ride quality is vastly greater than any MC tire I've ran, and the handling is way better too. I'm not trying to influence any one into running a CT on their bike, just giving my honest assessment of what I've found out. I won't be going back to a MC tire............ Nuff said.

That is exactly how I felt. I now have 16K miles on my ct and I still feel the same.

Go get 'em Cliff: he said there is 2 credit card thickness to the shaft. Thats more than enuff. All is well assuming you can find a person to put the CT on your bike. Not many shops in my neck of the woods.

Good thinking Dan. The motorcycle tire is surely bigger and better than the donut they stick in the trunk.

Cool Cliff, great looking tire! Started to go with that one when I did mine, maybe next time. Hope my bike last as long as my RT(HEHE).
