If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Vacuum Tires?

Playing around on eBay and came across this, a "Vacuum Tire" for cheap. Considering the price point my guess is something got botched in the translation OR it could be something completely new? I'll let you be the judge

Don’t know about vacuum, but add says they don’t need to be inflated, I’m not going to Ginny pig on that one the way I ride.

Probably quite good at finding the nearest unoccupied space at the side of the road, ie, ditches.
 
Something about this thread is terribly misconstrued !!!! There is absolutely nothing about tubeless that in any way relates to vacuum. One place says max. inflation 44 psi, next place says non inflatable, also says non run flat, if you can't inflate it and you can't run it flat?????... Would be interesting to know if it's anything other than an off-brand tubeless tire.

I've poked around and the only mentions I can find relate to them being a replacement for solid tires on hand carts, wheelbarrows etc and scooter tires. As mentioned, it's probably a matter of something getting lost in translation and for only $2 more you can get a Shinko Tourmaster 230 in that same size. Still, I'd like to KNOW if there really is a difference between these tires and an ordinary tubeless tire just for the sake of knowing.
 
It's a clumsy translation from Chinese. There is nothing different about the tire except the word chosen to describe it.
 
I don't see any misunderstanding . The ad says it is a blackwall tubeless vacuum tire and apparently it fits all Harley Davidson models .
That sounds perfect for sucking up the endless hot air from H-D owners and it comes with a 60 day warranty that will cover an entire hauling/riding season for many of them..
