What is Darksiding??
Running a car tire on the rear of a motorcycle. Double dark- car tire on the rear and a rear motorcycle tire on the front.What is Darksiding??
Yep... why???I'm curious if any DS'ers have a motorcycle shop install their CTs.
Just curious about their inclination to install a non-motorcycle tire.Yep... why???
Money. They get paid to mount a tire. It's what they do. Now some shops won't, but ask around and find one that will. Or some car shops will, if they have a changer that can handle a mc rim.Just curious about their inclination to install a non-motorcycle tire.
Ah yes; money. The great motivator.Money. They get paid to mount a tire. It's what they do. Now some shops won't, but ask around and find one that will. Or some car shops will, if they have a changer that can handle a mc rim.

Can be... but I've heard some MC tires are a hard stretch too.Is mounting a car tire on an ST's rim significantly more difficult (labor wise - i.e. does it require more muscle or any different techniques or tools) than a motorcycle tire?
For the GYTT I did have to sand down the swing arm a just a bit. The Hankook fit just fine, but not the GYTT. It's just cast flashing you are rmeoving, some bikes are cast more clean and it's not a problem to install the tire.When you installed the GYTT, did you have to modify the swingarm or sand down the sides of the tire to eliminate rubbing?
