I was about to retract my submission for you after seeing that tire and knowing you ride on the highway everyday on it!

Better get that thing replaced!

Re: Need a tire.....

Well you guys freaked me out enough to get a new tire  so I went and got a new one installed today.  I opted for the slimmer, original specs of 4.00 R18 (a 110) since I read online that it actually performs better than a tire that is too fat (my previous fossil of a tire was a 120). So far it feels just fine and it is a bit grippier than my old one.

A bit grippier? I would think it would be like night and day. Lol.

Good to hear you got a new tire!
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

Whew! Glad to hear it! They say the stock sizes handle better than anything else on these bikes. I didn't know that when I got my tires.When these wear out I will return to a stock size as well. Good call on the 110

what size would you recommend for the front? I need a new one and I want a bit wider one, what you guys think?

The tension is killing me.... It's like American Idol, The X factor, Toddlers and Tiaras, and the Miss America pageant all rolled into one!!!

Seriously... Thanks for doing this.  You're a good person.

I'm very excited about this tire! I've been riding on my current rear tire until I could afford a new set of tires but I haven't had the funds for months. Now I can ride without worrying about the tire. I really appreciate this and am very grateful for everything!

It is great to see communities like this one. There are very few forums with positive family like communities, and I'm happy to say this is one of the few! It is nice to see someone helping someone else out when they can (especially in a fun contest!).

I'll post a picture when I have my new safe tire on!

Glad you got yourself a safe tire now,Charlie.

And a pat on the back for Rusty.  Very nice of you to do something like this. Most people have gotten very greedy/stingy in this economy we have right now. Good things come around,you know. I'm sure the favor will be repaid to you someday.Hopefully soon
