Rubb needs a new tire a 330

[rubbersidedown]

Need a new rear skin for my turbo Busa. ITs currently running an Avon 330 something. 3000 miles on it,its done. 4 inch extended swing arm doesnt help. Keeps the front down,but lightens her up in the ass. All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Go check out the used tire pile at the rear of every bike shop in your local area . . .
Or sell some parts you have shown us you have, and just buy a new tire!
Simple as that

Me thinks the bastad just want some brand recs. That size brutha rub limits it for sure. I am not aware of enything better than the avon. check revzilla they usually have some good deals.

A lot of tourers run a car tire. I love the twitsies too much but guys sure get mileage out of them.

Like I said I wouldn’t but yes a lot of Gold Wing and ST1300 tourers use one. I’ve seen it first hand.

People on the FJR forum use car tires too.

No crap , I have seen a Rocket 3 , running a car tire . I lmao , the bloke says he gets fantastic mileage compared to the proper bike tires !! Pretty close to 'driving' a motorcycle as you are going to get ....hahahah

Try Pete's Superbike out of Montreal. I used to use him for all of my tires before I started getting staff discounts at local bike shops. Of course, that discount is now gone so I'm going back to Pete's if I ever wear out another tire.

I have done roughly 200 thousand km on car tyres on my wing I prefer the runflats over the normal radial type my mate always freaks out when hes flowing me but it does work on some bikes

In my world (NZ) we have a annual safety inspection called a Warrant of Fitness, I am a Govt approved and registered inspector and we have a rule book we must adhere to when inspecting vehicles.
If I saw a car tyre on a motorcycle I would write the thing off the road.... a care tire is not fit for purpose and will reduce the cornering and handling to the point of being dangerous.
It’s not rocket science.
Rant over.

He is right. I ve seen alot of guys doing the Iron butt race and they all use car tires. The mileage is fantastic compared to bike tires.

These giant fully bagged and boxed touring rigs, loaded for touring, weigh somewhere around 1,200 POUNDS with just one rider and they absolutely chew up rear tires. They do not handle the way sport bikes or Uber sport touring rigs like ours do. However, after hundreds of thousands of ‘proven’ miles on their rears, any reasonable person must admit that they have some merit. I’ve only seen slow speed vids of how the rear car tire‘s contact patch meets the pavement in a corner and they’re not for me regardless of the type of bike I ride. There (is) a difference in their respective sealing edges as to how they adhere or grip whatever rim they’re mounted on and that’s another reason I won’t use them. Has anyone seen them mounted on a front wheel?

Oh right, I’ve seen those but they’re hardly motorcycles in the same sense as a two wheeler as far as cornering is concerned.
