Yeah, but wait a week or so for this one to blow over. You take the oil question and the following week I'll do a why in the hell would an idiot put a car tire on a motorcycle.

What I should have asked was car tire or motorcycle tire... what's the best tire to go with and what it the best oil for my rig?

Aaaarrrggghhh!

Just kidding. I apologize for my nasty comment earlier. It's no excuse, but my son had just called me at work to inform me all the food in our refrigerator and freezer was at room temperature!

No worries CJ I come here in search of opinions not one answer to tell me what to do. Getting the reasons why people choose what they choose is what helps me decide. Oh yeah everyone is entitled to be crabby once in awhile. a dead fridge will do that.

Kaw... as soon as this one drops far enough down let the mayhem begin

Pk IMO I might not have had to run any beads at all... I called Dunlop to find out which paint dot was the correct dot, since the tire had all sorts of dots in all sorts of colors every where.

Dunlop said there would be a dot like an archery target, in either yellow or green. Mine was yellow as it turns out.

I alinged that dot with the valve stem.

Now in my excitement I skipped a step, which was to static balance test the tire on the wheel.

I should have clamped the wheel with the tire acriss 2 jack stand with wooden V blocks, and spun the tire by hand looking for a heavy spot, and marked the light spot many times.

Then with stick on weights figured that much out, but I didn't.

I simply dumped in 2 oz and called it good and man it was like glass.

The roads here in Hell's Bump New Hampster are like WW-2 vintage bombed out roads anyway, but on a good section it was scarey how glass like smooth that tire is.

The next season I added a Dunlop 251 radial in the stick size up ft, and i did static test that tire and it has no weights and no beads at all.... yet.

That made the bike really scarey on the new top coated roads here last year. Of course winter has done what winter does and these roads are all battered up now and I am back to a great handling bike again. Still no sign of needing any beads in that ft tire at all. I do have beads on hand for the day i feel the need.

I just don't think you need 3 oz of beads in that rear tire. For all I know you might not need any.

CJ, get home and start eating that food. You don't want any to go to waste. ;)

We had to throw out everything in the freezer. Can't get a repairman out until Monday. At least my beer stayed cold.

I read where a guy put airsoft pellets in his tire for balance, and they worked well. Interesting.

I put them in my tires on the last motorcycle and they worked great.
