Cabot Arkansas | I am seriously thinking of going to the darkside,looking for recommendations.
Which tire are you running and air pressure.

Rockford, IL | Running a Bridgestone Potenza 195/55/R16
I started out at 36 psi and then dropped it down to 28 psi but I've been bumping back up and have been at 34 psi for past 1000 miles or so and I think I'm gonna probably end up staying at the 34 psi.
I've said it before....switching to darkside is not for every rider. Recommend you do the research and then decide. Keep in mind that its very easy to switch back to a MC tire. We aren't talking a major "modification" like cams. I can say that I've had ZERO issues or regrets with switching over.

, FL United States | I'm using the Kuhmo run-flat 195/65R16 and keep around 35 psi (I say around because it's such a PITA to check and the Kuhmo doesn't feel any different [to me] at 32 or 42 psi). No issues so far - aprox 8k miles on it. |

Salinas, Ca. | I'm running a Dunlop Direzza DZ101; 195/50/R16. Currently it's at 40psi. Like CoolHandLuke, I can't really feel much if any difference running 30 or 40 psi. I've got about 4k on it with no issues to speak of. |

orrick, mo | I'm running the Bridgestone Potenza 195/55/16. I'm running about 36psi. It has a better feel to me at that pressure. Just remember it will take 500-1000 miles to get the tire broke in. I've had no regets in going to the darkside after over 14k miles. Find my pictures in the gallery to see how it will handle.
I was having a great time.
