Thanks for the heads up on that Cormanus. I have checked everywhere for reviews on the road pilots 3 tire and cant find much of anybody to complain on various different makes and models of motorcycles. Sure seems like a safe bet to me.
FWIW, NIghthawks were built to a price point and that included the cheaper bias ply tires. Im not buying that the chassis cant handle it or was not engineered for it. I remember back in the day when we finally put radials on old cars from the 60s and 70s and it made a big difference.
I think this is what I am feeling between the two bikes and I am willing to spend the money to verify it. Checked tonight and I only have 1/32 left on my rear tire. I forgot the limit. I know Im close. Wear bar indicators are really close. I can squeeze another 1000-1500 out of the rear but that is is. IM going to try and still be safe. I want to pull this off next spring if possile. I gotta a lot of bills this time of year.
Guys, thanks for your advice on this stuff. It has saved me a ton of time and I appreciate it more than you can know.
My ride today confirmed it.
