Dave, did you mount the RS IVs yourself on the Nomar? I have a Nomar mounted in my basement. I agree with you on the Road Vs being easy to remove and install. I had my Road V GTs (required on my RT) installed at my dealer because they are supposed to have a stiffer sidewall than the standard Road 5s.

I have had difficulty mounting the RS III and other tires with the stiff sidewalls. Between Terry and myself we were able to mount tires on his BMW 1600GT and my RTs. Since then I have not been able to mount the same tires by myself. My question is do you mount the tires by yourself? If so do you use a ratchet strap to hold the tire in place?

Thanks for any thoughts.
