So there really was no adjustment period. The OEM Brigdestone should have been replaced at 10000 but I took it to 12000. So at least 1/3 more mileage for less than /2 the price. | Lorin Hammon | Spring Valley, Mn | Lehaa | Honda '07 | GL1800 ABS | Kumho Run Flat | 195/60 16 | 18000 | 28 | 27000 | Lasted 18K miles run 28lbs.

Along with the handling is a super ride and traction that defies physics and 2x the life of a MT. I am on the second one. | David | smalltown, America | Superdave | honda | vlx 600 | Federal ss657 | 165/80/15 | 14000 | 41 | 490035 | outstanding | mark | r/h, sc | old dad/ otis56 | Yamaha | 1300 V Star | Dunlop SP 5000 | 195/65/16 | 12000 | 24/26 | 35000 | Rides great at 22 to 26 pai 1 & 2 up.

Welded bolts to floorboards and keep scraping them off. | Gary C. | Acworth, GA | quadancer | Yamaha | Stratoliner | General Exclaim UHP | 205/55/17 | 8500 | . | 8999 | This tire lasted the longest of any tire to date on my liner.

Still wants to move around in road ruts, especially at slow speed. I'm still experimenting with tire pressure. All in all I'm sold on this tire. | Bob | Steger, IL | Nukeworker | 2006 Yamaha | Stratoliner (Midnight) | General Altimax | 215/60/17 | 7500 | 40 | 28000 | Handles great. From Houston, Tx to Riddle, Or. and back. Overall trip 6500 miles. Handles corners better that OEM. 45 MPH corners at 90 no problem. Scrape floor boards cornering without a thought. When entering driveways with curbs, throttle over it or it will attempt to follow curvature of curb. Running Michelin Pilot Active rear tire, turned around backwards on front at 41 PSI. | Dennis | Willis, Texas | Sarge189 | Honda | VTX1300 2004 | Douglas | 205/65R/15 | 7000 | 32 | 29650 | This is a good tire.

Excellent traction wet or dry. Corners well even two up with all our gear. Tread still looks new. Should get 20K+ out of it easy. | Victor Pennington | Grand Junction, Colorado | Vic2K | 2010 victory | crossroads | falken ziex | 195/55/16 | 6000 | 36 | 13450 | excellent handling,braking. | scotty | east bend, nc | grampahawg | Honda | GL1800 | achilles | 195/65/16 | 5200 | 41 | 90562 | I pull a large trailer and love running this ct on my bike. the wing ride smooth in the first place but what a even smoother ride with this tire. handles great.lasts much longer than a bike tire. | Brian | Warroad, mn | Thunder snow | Honda | Valkyrie Standard | Goodyear TT | . | 5000 | max rated | 23000 | Love it. It finds the big truck tire ruts a bit more than a MC tire, but otherwise, I really see no difference for the most part. Scrapped a left peg in a turn for the first time last weekend so I know it'll handle the lean angles just fine. | Joe | Annandale, NJ | Dufu | Suzuki | C109RT | Bridgestone RE960AS Potenza | 225/60wr16 | 4900 | 40 | 36000 | I am on my second CT,I put 18,600 miles on the first one.

Now have confidence and ride like I did on MC tire. Scrape pegs without panic. Still don't like slow (parade) speed handling. | Tom | Atlanta, Texas | TWilie2 | Honda | 1988 / 1500 GW | Dunlop Wintersport | 175-60-16 | 4000 | 36-42 | 72500 | Handles great , Also run Michelin Pilot 130-70-18 on the rear. Will never runanother MC on the rear. | Bruce Strong | Kingsport, Tenn | Giturgun | 07 Star | Roadliner | General Exclaim | 205/55ZR17 | 3800 | 38 | 12240 | I don't like the feel if I let the pressure get below 36 PSI. A little more bar effort required to initiate and hold a line in a turn but if it really lasts 4 to 5 times as long as the stock Bridgestone (8400 it was at the wear bars)I'll stay with the DS Tire! | Phil W. | Whittier, CA | Wild Phill | Honda | Valkyrie Tourer | Falken ZIEX | 195/55R/16 | 3700 | 35 lbs | 26 | Handles better than my Elite-3's ever did,will never go back to a motorcycle tire again. | John Alfano | Palm Harbor, Florida | Huntmaster | Honda | Valkyrie Standard | Bridgestone G019 V Rated | 205/60-16 | 3000 | 42 | 53000 | Superb grip in the dry, off the line, cornering and braking.

The ride improved so much , it feels like I added another shock. I honostly cannot tell any difference between ct and mc tire as far as the handling goes. thank you DS | Bobby | Ava, Mo | RevPage | Kawasaki | Vulcan 500 | BF Goodrick TA Radial | 155/80 R15 | 1200 | 32 | 29000 | Better stopping on the CT, kinda feels like you hit a "flat spot" when you are leaning one way hard and come up over the top and lean the other way. Had to get used to cornering, different feel than MT but not bad just different. Easier to stay straight on the highway without wandering in the lane. | John | Rossville, Georgia | burkbuilds |
