Dark side tire
Posted by Karl on May 13, 2025 at 7:21 amHey 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)….😏
