hope for a 15" rear radial

Good catch. Their icons indicate that the line includes radials. I should have read the fine print.

A 90 aspect tire is too tall for a radial so I would guess that it's a bias tire.

it'd be worse than a bias ply!

could you imagine the flex?

thats why even if they made a radial 15" tire for the vmax, the rpm difference and ride height would change so much that it wouldn't make sense.

Yep. nothing I'd want to ride that's for sure!

If they made a 170/75-15 or 170/80-15 in a Radial, I don't think it would be too bad.
But I don't see that happening anytime soon (or ever really).

Just read that Harley is coming out with a new 500 and 750. Will be debuting in India tomorrow (17th) it will also be available in the US and early specs says it has a Michelin/ Harley 15" Scorcher ll rear tire.

The Scorcher series are radials. Harley tire web sight does not have this size listed yet so we will have to wait for more info but this might be what we have all been waiting for.:eusa_dance:

It looks like the narrow tires are still bias plies...

If Pirelli made their MT66 or Nightdragon tires in that size as radials, I would be the first ones to give them a try!
