Hankook 195 55 16 Ventus V4 is a nice tire handles very well,rides very good 2 up. It stops the bike like a dream. By the way this is just an update if it opens up a can of worms so be it. Thanks Pete Anderson

Have fun with it. You'll probably replace that tire due to it weathering before you can wear it out. I've got 10,000 miles on my Potenza, and it still shows no wear. Enjoy.

I'm just getting started on mine and so far so good. Yes there some differences from MC to CT but for $118 dollars I'll just stay with the dark side.
Here is a photo of how far over on the edge of the tire I have been so far.

Thanks, John. As a reformed British owner, I have developed a hard aversion to fixing the same things over and over again. And with the price of tires, that's just one more irritation I'm going to eliminate when the opportunity arises. I've got a couple more seasons on my Marathon, and then it's CT's for me. Maybe even on the front. Anybody ever tried it? I'm thinkin' some Mickey Thompson Sportsmans might fill the bill! LOL They work gud on my pro-street '57...It'll maybe take away the problems associated with no center stand at the same time!
