 Dark Side no longer
After a few thousand miles on my Dark Side(car tire) equipped Stratoliner, I've decided to go back to a motorcycle tire.
There is one reason for my decision; High speed handling.
The Good Year Triple Tread I was using had the tendancy to wobble at high speeds. (over 90 mph) Not a death wobble, but a wobble nonetheless.
This may or may not have been caused by the amount of weight necessary to balance the tire on the MC rim.
I've made the switch nonetheless. It's just my opinion that any type of unpredictable handling at high speeds is undesireable, and I like to go fast.
Low speed cornering and overall handling were not affected.
For all those still running a CT; Thank you for your support and guidance when I was considering the whole venture, and good luck & happy trails on your rides.
I'll stick with the MC tires from now on.
