Great classic tire for the price.

Didn't want to get the firestones because I dont want to pay a high price for a low performing tire. <br /><br />If you want to rock tires like this, you probably know what you are getting into, they arent going to perform like a modern tire. <br /><br />They look cool as hell. Compared to a modern tire, they somehow make your bike look lowered, as the balooning puts less space between front tire and frame. <br /><br />Also, mainly writing this review so harley people know: a 4.00 19 will absolutely fit on a mid glide front end for a sporty, and it looks cool as hell.

Bang for the Buck

If you're looking for a cheap vintage-style tire, this is pretty much your only option. Lateral grip feels a little 'wishy-washy', but these are still pretty shreddable depending on the size of your beans. Seem like they'll hold up to about the standard mileage. Did I mention they look good on choppers?

Cool look

Just put these on a yamaha bolt with<br />spoke wheels. They look great but riding them at speeds over 70mph is a little dicey
