I love my SWM RS-500R, but with the stock tires anything over 55 mph on pavement was kind of sketchy. Not really a shock since it came with full knobbies that are barely DOT approved. The stock tires work great on dirt, the problem is I spend at least 50% of my time on pavement. After doing a lot of looking around, I decided to try a pair of Continental TKC80 Twinduro’s. The shop that installed them also balanced both wheels. I had the chance to rode it the first time today and it’s like a completely different bike. Before, the wobble started at around 50 mph and by 55, it was time to back off or start worrying. With the TKC’s, I got it up to 75 mph (indicated) and the bike was still smooth as silk. Well maybe not quite as smooth as actual silk, but still really smooth and confidence inspiring. I haven’t had a chance to try them on dirt yet, but so far I love them.
