Wanderer Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Just thought if any were interested this is the federal, but they have the kumho when in stock. I went ahead and ordered the Federal,
pegscraper Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Federal is what I've been riding on for the past couple years. I had DBTires put white walls on mine.
Wanderer Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 I've got approx 8k on the oem Dunlops and they are holding up better than I suspected, but they are also like a tank of gas, you get to that half way point and they go fast. I'm not gonna take any chances \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\.
BigBoyinMS Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 That's the first good pic that I have seen of the Federal. The tread design looks good.
Wanderer Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 That's the first good pic that I have seen of the Federal. The tread design looks good. That's what I thought. Nice water grooves. I'm looking forward to giving the darkside a ride.
Wanderer Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 The Federal is according to the dealer on National back order so I let him send me the Nexxen. Hope I didn't screw up here. They look ok and I haven't heard to much bad about them. Should arrive this week. Then I have to find some one brave enough to mount them.
eagleeye Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I put a Nexen on my RSTD this spring and have 11M on it. I don't think about it anymore, Run 40psi. Sticks like glue on the curves and soft on the road. When you first put a CT on, you will notice everything. That will go away. Enjoy, Steve
Wanderer Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Steve, I've also been following some of your posts.
Kirby Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I' like for some of you guys to post a picture of the tire swap. A friend of mine as well as myself are interested in this also. We're both nearing a tire change and would like to see the end results as well as hear about the whole experience!!! He has a 06 Goldwing and I have a 09 RSV.

I haven't got mine yet, but as soon as I do I'll fill you in on all the details.
eagleeye Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Not sure what you mean by tire swap, but I did take a few. Notice the can of WD-40, that is what I ended up using to get the bead to seat. (in the first photo you see suds, I started by using dawn and water) Steve
