| I posted this on DS Goggle search,so I will try again. I installed a Hercules Raptis TR1 155 70 13 today. The install went well , took 45 to 50 lbs to seat the bead.I put counteract beads 2 ozs, and 38 psi .The profil is very close to a MC tire.Went for a 120 kl run at a 100 klph,ran on tar snakes ,crack pavement 90 long radius curves at 100 klph and ran as good or better then MC tire . drove 80 klph through 6 40 klph posting and felt like it was on a rail.This tire has a round shape close to a MC tire. For me it did not change the hight of my seating .IT was like riding with a MC tire. |

| Went for a 350 kl run with 6 cruiser riders 2 HD 4 Silverados. They all like the tire profile. I took some pics this morning and placed them on my album for those who would like to see them. |
