Not sure but I am thinking some different tire lube might make it easier? Just saying.

Almost sounds like he'd rather stick to his spoo method??

He's right, those T30's can be a beatch, especially if not warmed up like hot. Clamps to squeeze, and actually put some lube in the middle of the wheel as well.

I always lube up the well as well. I'm not a newb to mounting tires, it's like 80% technique, and 45% leverage. But these were taking me to a whole new level of pissed off.

Just fair warning to anybody else thinking their going to spin on a set of T30s. I'm getting to old for that kind of shit. I'm aching all over today.

Spooned on a PR2 Rear and T30 front. Both went on easy peasy with the nomar and 80 degree weather and sunshine.

However the front is taking too much weight so I will break the bead and try again tomorrow. Then I need to clean that beautiful 13. It's been awhile with all the riding.

Rode mine a couple hundred miles down to silverback's place. Currently sitting here drinking his beer.

^^^
Motorcycle with gear - $18,000.00

Gasoline for Travels - $2.40 per gallon

Beer - $9.00 per 6-pack

(ahem... notice I said "Beer", not horse piss)

Sitting down in the evening after a couple hundred miles of riding drinking a buddy's beer..... priceless.

I actually washed mine...WTF?

Now we mustn't be a Beer Snob Mr. Pants.

With the right friends after a Good Day, or even after a Bad Day, I find it is not the quality of the beer. It is the quality of the friends that is important. I would rather drink a warm can of Milwaukee's Best with my closest friends than sip a perfectly chilled bottle of CaneBrake with folks I don't like.

Of course right now I am sipping an excellent cup of straight black Community Café Special typing to a bunch of Good Friends. Does not look like much FJR activity will happen today. I have 3 sacks of crawfish to boil and I am supposed to pick them up in about 47 minutes.

Happy Easter my Friends

It's been what, a year? That bike will never be the same...

El Toro Joe · Post by **El Toro Joe** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:44 am

rode my clean bike to work...

Burnspot · Post by **Burnspot** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 10:08 am

Mounted a new T30 EVO GT (replacing a normal T30) on the rear over the weekend, finally matching the front. Bought some spark plugs too...need something to do at Bob's this coming weekend.

I'm liking the T30 series; they stick good and are cheaper than the PR4's...

Uncle Hud · Post by **Uncle Hud** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 12:52 pm

Even with Bungie's bitching, the T-30s are the best tires I've tried so far. Griff put them on for me, so it wasn't hard at all.

Hope you like your GT-spec rear, Burnspot.

Redfish · Post by **Redfish** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 1:16 pm

I didn't do anything to mine at all.

But...

Pop rode his to town to get his Inspection Sticker.

And that is about as Big as steps can get.

WOW, that is superb news.

That's awesome news there RF!. Looks like pops is giving life a healthy ole oohrah.

Pretty awesome news there Redfish!

I'm curious to see how long the GT spec lasts; the front EVO GT still looks new after a few thousand miles.

JustinNck1 · Post by **JustinNck1** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:11 pm

Ordered a new Dunlop RS3 rear.

Current tire inventory for 2017:
2 T30 EVO Rears
1 T30 EVO Front
1 RS3 Front
1 RS3 Rear

The bike has a new T30 Front on it and a worn out PR4GT Rear.

I'm sure your pops is not a profane man...but it's like he's giving the middle finger salute to the devil.

Good on him!
