My speedo error was 4 mph off with the stock tire or the 195-55. With the 175-60, Honda says I'm doing 80, Garmin says 74. I believe Mother Garmin.

As I've written before, I never pay attention to my speed in the mountains and I go by the GPS on the slab. So, that's not a factor.

It does require a little more rpms, but, again, that doesn't concern me. It's barely perceivable.

I've got 1000 miles on this tire now and, if I weren't already married, I'd propose to it. :yes1: Did several hundred in the mountains yesterday and I pushed it hard a couple times. Felt just like my rear 180-60 Metz when being flicked back and forth in the turns:excited:.

Storm, you are guessing incorrectly. The 175 we are using is a RF.:yes1:

You know that's all great but it will be years before I wear out the CT I have now. This is the problem with CT's, they last and last and last so how are we suppose to try the new ideas when the old one never wear out?

Storm, find another Wing rider who can be convinced to give it a try. Put it on their bike for a test ride, then, when they bring it back, make them a deal they can't refuse.:thumbup:

I talked to my tire guy today. I had him call the place where he gets the 175-60. They have about 200 ready to ship. ;)

Okay Trialsman where is your guy located. Can't find them anywhere in stock. Mine has 19.5k on it and I need to replace it asap.

TIA

PM me, I can get one sent to your door for 200 bucks.

As soon as you say that you want it, I'll order it. Put the funds in the mail, when it comes in, I'll ship to address you choose that day or next.. Process usually takes about a week.
