Hi Guys,
I am so excited, finally was able to have a clear period with no rain to really take my ST1300PA (Police Special) with SOLO Seat for a good spin with the larger G709 Goldwing Front Tire and my New Hankook Rear Car Tire. I just love it, for the first time I can actually hear my Motorcycle and not those Howling Dunlop or Bridgestone Tires made for the ST1300. That G709 Front Tire is silent and has never cupped on my Goldwing and that Hankook rear Tire is equally silent.
Took the ST1300PA up to 100Mph a couple time and really accelerated hard with Zero issues, takes Corners just beautiful. The Tires add a lot to the Rear suspension as it is so much softer to the BUNS yet solid in handling. This softer ride is doubled buy the G709 only needing 34 psi and its softer ride. Really happy this Forum pointed me to this Tire and its being able to fit the ST1300 so perfectly. I am running 41 psi in the Hankook and this seems to be its sweet spot and since I can never carry a Passenger (SOLO Seat) I see no need to adjust Air Pressure further.
I am not new to the Darkside as I use Car Tires on my other two Motorcycles but this is the first time with my ST1300PA.
O'Yes the Hankook and G709 both are excellent in the rain I found out the first time out.
According to this Forum others are getting good Wear on this Hankook and I fully expect the G709 just may outlast the Hankook 2 to 1.
We will see come Summer?
