Indian Scout Bobber; Lets Talk About Tires 

Ironically before even watching this, I ordered those exact tires and will be putting them on tomorrow. It's fantastic to here how well they work!

Totally agree! I was at 3200 miles on the Kenda tires when I replaced them. Needless to say there was still plenty of life on them. I bought the Michelin Commander III Cruisers and WOW, night and day difference. Perform much better, stick to the road better. Absolutely love them!

Absolutely love your bobber - one of the best I've seen. Just installed the same tires on mine (after you). Man what a difference and look. So wanna do fender delete but I'm in love with my corbin. Great video brother.

Yes I put 8000 miles on my stock 60 tires. Replaced them with cobra chromes and wow so much easier to handle and maneuver

Your bike has a very unique look, I really like it

Interesting video. Michs are no doubt fine tires. I have a Mich 190/55 ZR17 at the rear of my '17 Yammy FZ-10 throwing out ~155/rwhp. The BHP is a useless figure unless every bike on the planet is tested using the exact same dyno and environment. I've recently purchased a new 2022 Indy Rogue and has the stock Metzeler Cruisetec 150/80B16 77H at the rear and they're not "phenomenal" but sufficient enough to wrap myself around a tree or two at 125mph. Ride safe.

Just put on some Commander 3’s on my 16 Chief Dark Horse and dang those babies are incredible!

Another great video. Subscribed! (Love the Lavender look, too...!) 💕

I noticed the exact same thing 30 seconds in and my first turn, night and day better better than the Kenda stock tires. Love the Commander III's on my Scout.

Hi Jim, I love your videos. Thank you for this information about tires. I think it’s going to be very helpful. I just recently purchased the scout twenty. It has the front and rear chunky tires. I’m thinking about changing the front to the rogue wheel possibly. For easier handling in corners. Also side question. What kind of gloves are you wearing in this video? I love them.

Hey Jim....WOW!! I Now know what you're saying....before I ordered my Bobber I sat on both a standard Scout with the Street style tires and a Full blown Bobber ABS with the ATS Tires and noticed that the standard Scout with street tires was sooo much easier to move and steer on the Dealership floor ( Didn't test ride) but Noticed a huge difference which is of course the subject of your Video. I too thought that it was the Smaller Engine, the Standard Mini ape bars and the lighter weight which made the steering differences between the two feel night & day !!! NOW I KNOW It was the Tires!!! BUT DAMN IT JIM....I HAVE A PROBLEM!!! PLEASE don't shake your head ok?? PROMISE??? MAN I LOVE....LOVE The Bad Ass Mean Aggressive Beefy Look of the Enduro style tires!!!! So much so my plan WAS....When the Michy's took a crap....to "UPGRADE" to the even more Aggressive Shinko Mobber ATS tires..... much like our Instagram friends Army Green Scout.... "701 Raptor" which eventually made my mind up on ordering my Scout Bobber! Also...I do not ride long distance or highways any longer....but instead Do what the Bobber does best...CRUISE the Local scenic Jersey Shore roads...So Although I COMPLETELY Get what your saying and am even INTRIGUED a bit to chang to the Commander's when the time comes....theres that little guy on my shoulders telling me that I may not " Look" at my Bobber in the same way. So Its gonna come down to what I WANT.... What is more important to me....Looks vs Sacrificing driveability.

Hey! Love the content! What wheel did you throw on with the 180 rear, and do you have a video for that?

I went with Shinko 777 made a huge difference in all around handling!

So did they give you a hard time because you wanted a bigger tire (180)?

Felt Exactly the same way when I switched to the CruiseTecs 👍

Yo Jim, my bobber is in transit to the dealer right now. I see you run drag bars with the 1920 seat not sure if you’ve got risers on them. I’ve sat on a comfort seat and the riding position felt good, is the 1920 solo going to put me too high? I put the 1920 solo seat on with the regular stock bars for now just wanted to know if the seat was going to change my riding position much or not.

Hey Jim, what pressure are you running on your Commander III? I bought the same ones about a month ago

Hey Jim, first off what you have done with your bike is just awesome! Iam thinking of getting a second bike and i keep coming back to the Bobber scout. My only gripe is that Indian still does not update the bike with TFT display . Do you know if Indian is planning on making a bobber with a TFT display?

Goddamnit Jimbobbington, I still don't have the analog tach I ordered in February and now I have to worry about tires??! /facepalm I have those Pirelli's on my '22 Bobber and I can't put miles on it fast enough to warrant new tires.. Yet. 😒 Love your Vlogs. Bankruptcy, here I come! LOL :D

I’m still running around on the Kendas. I just hate to buy tires to replace tires that are in good shape

I'm Actually looking at them Commander III ,s stock size front and 180 /65 16 for the rear 😁👍

Do you think the Michelins will last as long at the pirellis or similar in longevity

What ratio height did you go with on the rear and why that choice? And did you get the cruiser or touring tires since they do both?

91? Wow, I was expecting higher octane gas to be available. In my country gas is 95 and premium is 98.

Hi Are you still posting? just upgraded to this bike too From 650 suz blvd Had to change bars to fit me, still struggling with turns In researching tires on this bike found your channel Could this really be? Or do I still need more time to adjust I’m a small woman but not weak, not the heavyness but maybe I need more push? So I am gonna start lifting weights? Lol 😅

good info brother. I'll keep these in mind. $6.40 for 91 octane in San Diego right now :/

1 question: the rear tire 180* got up without tuning?

I'm using Metzler Cruisetecs with a 180 on rear.

Okay okay okay. Stop yelling at me! I’ll get new tires! Haha Man your bike looks and sounds amazing. 97 octane is $5.33 here right now.

I just want a big wheel kit, that fits under the stock fender 😟

I'm sold on buying the bobber but , am gonna have to replace too many parts to make it right ! That's alot of money to spend plus the new bike , that's not Kool of Indian !

What tire sizes?

Hey. Guys $2-05Lt Australia😅

How much did it cost if you don’t mind me asking

😊thanks for sharing
