Car tire on Honda Goldwing run flat for miles blowout
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 12. 2020
- I drilled 4 holes in my worn out tire and then rode my Goldwing 17 miles to prove its runflat ability. Then I did two burnouts trying to unseat the bead off the rim. I could have ridden it farther, but it was getting dark. This tire was 8 years old, and worn down to the cords showing before trying to unseat the bead.
THANK YOU! I'm so sick of trying to defend my CT on my F6B. I get 26,000 miles of HARD, BRUTAL riding out of a CT, and the grip, cornering, braking, wet traction are all FAR superior to a regular street MT. You'd hafta go to a very soft compound MT tire to get the same levels of grip that you would with a Michelin CT. And then you'd be changing rear tires on a big bike like a 'Wing every 5-6,000 miles. I'll keep running a CT on my 'Wing, and the haters can keep hating. Thanks for posting this video.
Yeah well ace I'm in the same boat. I'm going to go to a car tire in spring. I put a brand new CT on 4 thousand miles ago and she already looks tired. So it lasted the season. REALLY.. So I will go darkside when I change it and I don't care about the haters. I have a channel on CZcams so I will get alot of haters. Will not change the fact that I will be able to ride the tire 30 thousand miles or so. Sounds like 4 or 5 Mt at 30 thousand miles. Lol.
It’s nothing like proof to make somebody a believer…. I’m convinced and will be darksiding in a few months..before our big trip… thanks for the video a year later and this video has inspired me…
What a great video. Thank you for doing that. Love the burn out at the end. I'm just looking for my first Goldwing and its good to see they have the balls to spin the wheel.
Three bikes (GL1800, 650 Burman, PC800) total 250,000 miles running dark. All smiles.
This proves one very important thing - a run flat car tire on a Goldwing is actually safer than a motorcycle tire on a Goldwing.
Back in June 2021 I went Darkside after watching a few videos about it. I've been DS now for about 6000+ miles. I rode 3 different states on it and really couldn't tell the difference. Bridgestone Run Flat
I just love this video. It has shocked me how much negativity about car tires on motorcycles. Do they all work for the tire companies? Sheesh!
I just love it when riders tell you 'your tire is flat' or low on air. I just chuckle and say- it's supposed to be. Aren't the tires on your car flat?
I've heard about this video. Glad I got to see it this morning. You will never change the anti-ds minds. I just laugh at them and roll on.
I just bought my first Wing this past June. It came with brand new Dunlop tires. When the rear wears out, I will Darkside. I’m just hoping I can find a shop that will mount it for me.
Been riding 55 years. Never seen anything like that. I recently put a CT on my 06 Yamaha stratoliner. LOVE IT. HINT:: Try putting a Dunlop American Elite on the front and the pressure for both tires at 38lbs. The American Elite is a very round faced tire. It bosses the rear tire, making it feel like a MT is on front AND rear. If the front tire drops below 35lbs, you begin to feel the rear tire starting to boss the front tire. CT's require more imput into the steering. The American Elite changes that. Anyway, I love the CT and would not go back. I run a Yokohama Avid Touring tire, 215/60/17 and love it. My Harleys still have MT's on them, their rims are not wide enough to accept a CT. Thx brother.
If you don't like the cart I idea remember this video when you are a long way from home and on your $300 motorcycle tire we are being ripped off by motorcycle tire companies high price low mileage
Well done, I could not have done a better job myself.
I keep replacing my motorcycle tire every year or two and it’s time for a car tire, all my wear is in the middle I don’t even have tread loss on the sides
Wow. Thats pretty impressive. I want to go darkside however everytime I get ready someone talks me out of it. So after watching this video I would like to know what size and brand tire you have.
This was a Michelin, 195/55/16
A real review
Why didn't you simply drill the hole in the face of the tire same as if it got a nail or something? Either way nice demo!
I cringed every time you managed to slip with the drill.
Someone posted this video on one of my Darkside videos - this is AWESOME !!
I’ll bet that tire grips better on a launch after the holes
thanks for the useful info
Thank you. I understand the same tire fits my victory Cross country tour which is in need of a tire change in the next 3 or 4 months.
Can you post some closer photos or video of the shelf above your dash? Id like to place my gps on the dash and would love a better look at your setup. thanks P.
Great video, last 2 rear tires I changed, I laid it on the floor and did them. Ill never do it the hard way again.
I thought you were crazy 😜. Now I know it
That's what I'm talkin about been doing it for years go to Michigan from Florida and all points in between no problem
Drill running the wrong way on ya? Lol
Absolutely no downshifting? That’s a wild way to ride.
I’ve got a Yellow Goldwing and a Pirelli P1 run flat on mine.
Gutsy move, brother. Glad it did not come loose.
That's what I was thinking!
What size and make is that tire ?? I’ll be looking for it next tire change !
dark sided my Wing the day i got it.....ill never go back, and that was many years ago
I just thought of something when you joked about the tire balance. Can you use ceramic beads in a run flat?
I run them in mine 3oz's
@@jeffjohnson7828 Thanks. I wasn't sure if a run flat had a smooth interior.
I use beads in everything,,bike,,truck,,and the girl friend,,,,,,:o)
@@narmac01😂
I've been running a 195\60\16 car tire on my Electraglide for years, second one.
Thats the first sparky burn out I've seen🤣🤣
,,,cords gone and down to the steel wire,,!!
What Tire are you Running?
Bigger News! Did I see a kick start on your bike?
Brand , model size ( run flat ? ) of the tire installed for the demonstration ? thx
2003 gl1800 car tire size?
195 55 16 ?
Rear fener in?
Do you think a 205/60-16 would fit on a 2008? I’ve had my engine bottom out on angled curbs several times. I have this fear the case will crack and oil is going to dump leaving me stranded
Some guys run the 205 and it works for them. If I was worried about the curb thing, I would run a bally pan.
Wow that tyre was bald… illegal here in uk, dangerous too..I see how dark siding in usa works given LONG straight roads, in uk it just wouldn’t be safe. roads too small, mini roundabouts everywhere tight sweeping bends etc.but for you guys it works👍 safe riding…
Yea, I generally don't drill holes in good tires. It corners every bit as good as a so called bike tire.
To gary edwards You haven't ridden on a car tire you wouldnt post that if you did
@@fartenfreddy of course… but I FULLY respect all who do..ride safe people 🇬🇧👍
You have not done any research on the subject.

Bravo.
What’s your tire of choice?
I run a Bridgestone Driveguard. 195/55/16
God give it a bath
What tire us it?
It is a Michelin that they don't make anymore, but they all would work like this. I run a Bridgestone Driveguard now.
What size
195/55/16
55
Runs the drill up the side of the tire and whacks the spinning drill into the wheel. I stopped watching right there.
Yep, it's a gory video. Come back after puberty and watch it.
😂
@@duckster011 Thanks for the heads up ... I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to power tool accidents. I hope it didn't end too badly.
Here is the ONLY Issue with a car tire that I know of, it's the bead, the shape of a motorcycle tire bead, and a car bead are not the same... if they fail to seal... it lacks redundancy to stay on the rim... not really much of an issue 99.999% of the time, and might not have ever unseated in the history of a mounted tire... but liability is often not about what it will do but might do, and many shops for that reason won't mount them. I have a double dark side set in the garage ready for mounting, no shop near me will touch it, and 2 separate shops will, 1 for the front since it is a motorcycle tire but for a rear, they are ok to mount it, and since the car tire shop can mount the rear, they cannot mount the front since it has rotors.
Here is an article I found on the bead... "As a tire spins, the centrifugal force generated makes the tire’s bead seat to want to pull from the rim’s bead seat and during cornering, the lateral loads placed on the tires want to push the tire away from the bead flange. As alluded to, in the design of the rims there are two things other than just the circumference of the rim and the air pressure that help hold the tire on. They would be the bead hump, and the bead lock. The bead hump helps keep the tire help against the bead flange and the bead lock helps keep the tire from pulling away from the bead seat.
The bead lock is formed as the shape of the face of the bead flange and how the bead flange meets up with the radius from the bead seat to the bead flange. On a car tire/rim combination has a 6.5mm radius. On a motorcycle tire/rim combination has a 2.5mm radius. The bead flange on a car tire is 17.5mm tall and the bead flange has a radius of 9.5m radius on the face. On a motorcycle the bead flange is only 14mm tall and it has one radius in the middle of 12.5mm and a 3.0mm radius on the very top of the face.
The bead hump is quite different in shape and size from a car rim to a motorcycle rim. The bead hump is a little larger on a motorcycle rim versus a car rim because of the extra forces generated while the motorcycle is cornering. The bead hump is placed in a VERY critical location on both rims. On a car rim it is 21mm from the bead flange to the center point of the bead hump. On a motorcycle it is placed at 16mm from the bead flange to the center point of the bead hump. Why this is critical, is the respective tire that fits the respective rim will have a matching size bead seat of both the rim and the tire. So by placing a 21mm bead seat (car tire) in a spot only allocated for 16mm. (Motorcycle rim) the car tires bead seat is sitting on the bead hump not down by it allowing the bead hump to help hold the tire on the rim. Thus this where and how a car tire can dismount from a motorcycle rim. "
so like it says "centrifugal force generated makes the tire’s bead seat to want to pull from the rim’s bead seat and during cornering, the lateral loads placed on the tires want to push the tire away from the bead flange." On older car tires the walls were not as stiff and unseated bead was a issue... the tires we often buy now are harder and resist flexing this way as much, but I ride my Goldwing at over 100mph often... not sure how this will work out since the bead cannot lock in place.
Thats a lot of numbers to calculate that something doesnt work. Watch the video again, it works BETTER than a motorcycle tire on a Goldwing rim. Maybe next time I will drop it from an airplane, then run over it with a train. Will you get rid of that calculator if I do that? ;=)
@@duckster011 "works BETTER than a motorcycle tire" not on the bead it does not, I am Pro-Darkside, but it has no place in some applications... even the run-flat tires you and I have... does not change the fact the bead is not locked in. This matters if you have a very heavy load on a turn while accelerating hard... I am 400+ pound guy, and was a tire mechanic many years... in the 90s a tire lasting 5k was about it, car tires made sense and more issues then like lack of run-flats with stiff sidewalls were rare and VERY expensive and this left a stigma - that only REAL issue with a car tire on it is the bead, Run-flat ( as shown in the video ) will not lock it.
Drill some holes in a motorcycle tire and take it for a ride, then do a couple burnouts. Report back which tire locks on the rim better. Merry Christmas!
