    Hey guys and gals, I’m looking to go to the dark side on my 2013 VVT. Any recommendations?

    Hi Karl,

    A few years ago I mounted this car tire on the rear rim:

    Bridgestone Weather Control A005 XL 195/60 R16

    And recently a motor back tire on the front rim (second one now):

    Bridgestone Battlax BT46 130/70-18 63 H Rear TL

    This combo of an all weather car tire at the rear and a motor rear tire at the front is sticking to the ground like glue! Snow, Ice, Black Ice, Mud, Gravel, Sand, Wet Grass, name it, and I will Plow Through!

    Cheers and go Double Dark like me,

    Benno

    I was told the 195 55R16 was the correct size. I always ran the 195 60R16 on my Gold wings & have a new one on my old spare wheel. I guys I will be using it next. How close is your speedometer?

    Again, my

    Bridgestone Weather Control A005 XL 3PMSF 195/55 R16

    is spot on with the speedo on my Vision (in comparison with mounted Garmin Zumo 660 SatNav)

    As a side note:

    My

    Dunlop Sport Bluresponse 205/65 R16

    is spot on with the speedo on my 2002 Honda VTX 1800c

    (In comparison with the same mounted Garmin Zumo 660 SatNav)….😏
