If you are doing the dark side just for mileage, consider the Commander II rear tire.i am on my 4th and am averaging 20K per rear.

Otherwise, carry on.

I run a 175/55R16 if you don't have a hitch on you could go up to 195/55R16 run flat. I've had the 175/55R16 on for 26000 miles before it was changed out for a fuel mileage tire it was a 185/55R16.

Wintersport is a great tire, if you can find them. The correct size will be 175/60R16. It is only slightly smaller than stock and your odometer will read about 102 mile for every 100 traveled. 175/55 would be even smaller, and I don't think they make that size anyway.
Other sizes that fit are 185/55R16 and 195/50R16.
I got 24k out of my Wintersport, now I am trying the Michelin Commander IIs.

Like Archie said, they can be purchased from a Mini Cooper dealership.

Rollin, You should invest in a mud flap!

Congrats again on the long, long trip!

Hi,

I just got my 2013 vision stage 4 with exhaust upgrade. This was my first time going darkside and at first it was a little strange nothing dangerous. Only issue is going side to side is that the bike wants to right itself. Don't think I will go back bike runs great

Where do you go to get the car tires mounted to your Vision? I'm thinking about trying this with my next set of tires, but my dealer has a posting on their wall about the danger of going to the dark side. I will take a pic next time and let y'all know what it says.

Yes the CT will act funny in truck rutted roads. Relax and you'll get the hang of it.

If you can pull the wheel go to aftermarket shop. Ride to shops now and ask them before hand

I run 40psi and have over 20 thousand on my bridgestone 195-50-16. I tried less air but tire felt funny
