My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.
Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.
I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
Get the shinko 777, they’re great. Stickiest compound tire I run and I have no issues in the rain. Great for wheelies too
These tires are too tall. There's a headlight bracket that doesn't touch normally, but if you're turning and the suspension compresses, whether from a bump or cornering, then you will get these gashes in the shoulder of your tire.
I have 225/45r16 on mine. Only have rubbing with the fender going over medium to large bumps at speed. I've had small slivers eaten out of the same area. I'm on my second set of 225's. No significant issues.
I can confirm. Do not sign up! I purchased a brand new truck 5 years ago,, the dealer has done all services, brakes, new tires, etc. Everything should have been perfectly maintained. I live in the mountains. I have a 5 mile dirt road to my farm. Ford install one size larger tire than what came originally on the truck. Unfortunately the mountain road can get rough in winter. This I believe caused a bolt to fail on the axle.
