[QUOTE="FJRay, post: 1401648, member: 312"] I would have to get the book for exact numbers but load capacity is around 430 lbs. The wing has about 60% rear bias so the basic bike has around 540 on the tire. add to that about 200 for a percentage of my fat butt, roughly 230 for my bride, 30 for gear in the bike and up to 50 for tongue weight and you get 1050. The standard wing tire is rated at 827lbs. The avon AV72 is rated at 992 lbs. The pirelli car tire is at 1201 giving me a margin of safety. I would like to know how conservative the ratings are as I would like to try the Avon. It would probably be ok as long as the pressure was good but I would still be in minus numbers. Not to start a darkside debate but the CT handles damn good on the wing. Yes I could lose weight but where is the fun in that and I'm down about 140 from my prime fighting weight.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
