Reccomended Tyres for RoadKings

[sofa]

Dear all,

 

Any roadking riders here? Need some advice on what tyres to fit my 01 Roadking...

 

Wanted to fit Metzeler tyres on it, but hearing from people that when fitted on a RoadKing(due to its weight), the tyres becomes "bubble" not long after.. and Dunlop kinda has its problems too... Question is what other choices could I have, and where to get them?

 

If there's some out there who's been using a good combination, kindly advise me on the type and make... and I would love to try the tyre combination...

 

Thanks a lot....

Thanks for the help bro....I've got it fixed.. Only to know that all tyres on the road king will be uneven after riding for a bit due to its weight, and also having the imbalance of the weight which is heavier on the right side, spoke to Ah Yee, and he confirmed that anyways....

Cheers bro, I got it already... Sad fact of riding a roadking is that we can't leave it parking for too long, otherwise the tyre gets a flat spot......

you can maintain the tyre pressure though... 40psi rear and 36psi front..

40psi rear n 36psi front?

will it be too light too handle? esp coming to high speeds and cornering??

light ah? not really... i've gone at abt 170 and the bike's still stable only my mind was unstable!
