Hi James
Yes you can replace the rear tire, just follow the steps in the bike owners manual or buy a service manual. After the tire is off if you are not comfortable removing and replacing the tire from the rim you can take it to a bike shop and they will change it for you. I hope this helps. Rod
I replaced the rear struts, when removing i discovered one was totally bad, they didn't seem bad from testing and recovered quickly when pushing on the bumper, but were bad. after replacing my rear tire wear is even after 5k miles. mine were wearing from inside to outside too.
Check Tires for feather edge. Join your fingers together, move around the rear Tire from front to back and vice versa on both of the rear Tires and feel the smoothness. If the tread of the Tire resist the fingers in one direction and smooth on the other, then the Tires may be producing the abnormal noise.
Temporarily bring both the front Tires to the rear and rear Tires to the front on the same side, drive the car and watch the noise. If the noise begins to come from the front end, then the Tires are defective and need replacement. . If the noise still comes from the rear wheels then the rear wheel bearings need replacement.(You can also rotate the Tires in criss cross manner temporarily)
The bearings often vary noise with and without load. Be sure to troubleshoot the noise before spending money on costlier spares.
you have a computer for your control on your car. It is set up so only the factory front and rear tires sizes will work, any change, it picks it up. this should solve the problem.
Have the technician replacing the tires put the best 2 used tires on the rear of the cars and put the new ones on the front. You do your steering and braking with the front tires and if you were to have a blow-out, you want it to happen on the rear tires so that you can maintain maximum control with the good front tires.
the Vulcan has never been hit and no unusual wear appears on the rear tire. The pressure is at the recommended level (28psi). Thanks.
You're good to go nothing to worry about. MC tires utilize very soft compounds and rely on warm-up to perform their best. I just replaced my rear tire after 9200 miles and the front looks like it will go another 5,000. That's the same experience I had on my NightHawk as well.,,,
does the van shake or vibrate? does the van have tires on it ?start by switching the left rear with the right rear test drive and listen for soun if no sound then the tire has a bad steel belt replace tire if the sound is still present. jack up van and spin tire if no sound is heard replace wheel bearing and if there is still a sound look into brake drum for possible springs or clips that may have fallen into drum causing noise but i would say its more than likely the rear wheel bearing to change that u must buy a new bearing and follow instructions on replacing good
