    Hi all. This is my first post on this forum. If this is an inappropriate type post/question please let me know. A couple of years ago I picked up a 2007 VTX 1300R but have yet to buy anything new for it. Due to the poor selection of bike retailers in my city I'm doing all my shopping...

    I have known my rear tire tread was getting low for a while now, but that didn't stop me from taking on a 400 mile trip last weekend. Instead of honestly inspecting my tire before the trip, I didn't even check. I took off blindly, excited for a good time and just hoping for the best. Darwinism...

    Does anyone know if wide white walls are available for the 1800S? I can find the back but not the front. I know there are other threads on the subject but they are a few years old. Hoping someone has answered this need. Thanks in advance...

    Hey guys, I am getting ready to make a short trip (around 500 miles) and am worried about my tires. I would love to replace them before the trip, but not sure i will have the money. In your expertise, do you think these front tires will last a 500 mile ride? They are Dunlops with 6000 miles on them.

    Am finding these for a cheap price....are these OK? When i went to a local tire store...they gave me the tire size of 130/70r18 for front, and 180/55r18 for rear. Their prices on Metrzer were 151 and 206 for front and back; Dunlaps were more expensive. Found these on Amazon...will these...

    Im planning on putting white walls on my bike very soon and i had a couple of Questions. My tire size are 140/80 r17 and 170/80 r15. First does the dunlop 404 front tire and the dunlop k555 back tire have the same size band of white on them? The 404 side wall is 1 and 1/2 inches tall but i...

    So I just had the local shop put new tires on my bike there Avon Cobra's. I love the tires at slow speeds they seem to make the bike more maneuverable and feel a little lighter but at freeway speeds I've just started to notice my bike kind of wobbling left to right really fast. It's not to bad...

    Promise, I've looked for the last hour. Still learning this "forum" idea. About the time I came around I guess. Anyways, I'm shopping for tires right now for my 2003 VTX 1800 S (the retro with spoke wheels). Anyways, a few questions: What is the range in sizes that I can put on the bike...
  15. Honda VTX 1300 Forums
    Sorry if this is a repost all the post I found where pretty old. But does anyone know where I can buy a matched set of tires for my 04 1300 s ? I ordered some Pirelli's but they seem to be having trouble getting the front tire. I would prefer to not use Dunlaps. Thanks

    I know it depends on driving style, terrain, maintenance, and weather conditions, but how many miles do you guys typically get on a set of tires before you need to buy new ones.
