A thought from Winston66,
I have two identical ST1300 motorcycles ,apart from some cosmetics , and some minor mechanical modifications and with an age difference of 4 years.
One of these rides is fitted with the optional Darksiders rear tire, so I have been able to test and compare and qualify the various aspects of this sort of modification to a high powered modern Touring motorcycle.
I will not enter into any argument or speculation as to which, how , or where, either or the other, is better , worse , safer, or in any way different , to the other.
I feel that the whole premise, of which , or where, is open and over to the driver to experience and make a judgment for them selves.
.
In reference to the proceeding post of Piet's
Which mentioned cross ply tires, (in regard to cars, I think)?
This brings me to the question that I waned to ask.
Can anyone tell me , without starting an argument.
How many and what manufacturers and brands of motorcycle tire are RADIAL construction, and similarly how many manufacturers and brands of similar sizes of motorcycle tires are of a cross ply construction?
can anyone quantify a list, for those that might be interested, in possibly comparing the relative benefits of either type of construction in the manufacturer of motorcycle tires.
Cheers to all
