Questions for Tire Choice - HR II

HFS

Well Known Member
Any "Rocketeers" out there willing to chime in - I would appreciate it.

Anybody using AirHawk 5.00x5 - 6 ply?

If yes - what tire pressure works for you.

If yes - shimmy?

How much & @ what speed(s)?

If no - what tire do you use & why.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance - HFS

I use a variety of carcases with my Monster retreads, but I typically run very high pressures - 45+ PSI. I also have let them leak down significantly (25 ish), and it makes no difference on the significant shimmy I get at 15 or so knots. Its usually stopped with a quick stab of the brakes (for a moment), but I have just learned to live with it. My gear is the latest "tall, narrow" geometry, and I have no stiffeners.
 
My Experience Exactly - Thank You

Thank you Michael - I was just wondering if I was missing something to get rid of the "shakes".
