Love my 2003 VTX 1800S.
I purchased a cheap car tire just to test the waters and have been very pleased with the performance of this cheap effective tire. It is a Antares Ingens A1 All-Season Tire - 195/65R15 91H
I have put 8,000 hard, rubber smoking miles on the tire; no joke, I have been beating on this tire at almost every launch. It is still very close to new tread level and handles great. I run it at 42psi and it only took 60psi to seat it. Yes the rims are spoke and I used a silicone designed for metal to seal the spokes; zero issues or leaks. Just wanted to share this with those who are interested.
Seriously did not expect this out of a 42 dollar car tire. The only thing I noticed different is if you go into a low lean turn like rounding a 45 almost dragging peg, it is best not to give it heavy gas in the middle. Not unstable just an odd feeling and to be honest this is not something people do in general anyway; I just tend to push things when testing. You may also need to fight uneven roads a little harder but it is well worth it.
