Tires

[de-dee]

If you got city grips what size would you get ,  as I dont see 120/80  14s  or  150/70   13 sizes ,. on there lists,

I think I saw the stock sizes available at a local shop.

I wouldn't use anything but stock sizes.

I have had original Kenda.At 12k km they where finished,so I put Pirelli Diablo.My opinion was that Kenda is much better.Pirelli was to much plastic,and it needs time for warm up.With Kenda no such problems.I drive DT mostly on short tracks (5-10km) and don´t have time for warming up the tyre.Anyway,now I am on Metzeler feelfree and it is also medium quality.Pirelli has done also some 12k km,but this time I have changed only rear tyre.

Above information is very nice. I have Pirelli Diablo tire in my bike and i used this tire since few years. It is really great to used and its not make any problem. It is good in rain and its grip is also good. This tire is really good for any type of vehicle.

I have around 4,000 miles on mine and found out I need a new rear tire to pass Pennslyvania insp. WTF would cause it to wear out so fast?

Hi friend, Tires are very useful for all vehicle without the tires your vehicles not look complete. If you want to buy new tires for your vehicle and found new tires i want to suggest you that you can get the tires on the dealer shop and also get the tires on online shop who is a dealer to sell all automotive parts and vehicle.

Metzeler Feelfree, so far so good.

Anyone tried Michelin Power Pure 2CT?
That dual compound stuff worked very well on my Kawasaki so I'm wondering how good
this tire is, but it's more of a sport tire so..

The Feelfree and City Grips are recommended everywhere so I have no doubts any
of those two would work fine.

Picked (rear tire) up some metal at 2,000 miles and the patch would not hold.  I had the dealer replace it, ugh, they actually installed a six year old (shelf life) Battlax.  Its the same tire that goes on the old Burgman 400's.

I am not confident with the front tire (Kenda) it feels slippery/squirmy to me.  It will take some miles probably 12,000 or so before I have to replace it.

I don't understand the (marketing/cost?) rationale for switching to bias tires vs radials.  I would think that radials have superior handling .. but ... ?

Tires are like oil, lots of opinions and debate.  Shoot just look up some threads on putting a 'car' (dark side) tire on the rear of motorcycles and scooters.  Guys do it for increased mileage.

Has anyone changed their tires yet? I was thinking about putting Pirelli Diablo's on. Any thoughts?

I am putting my second set on right now. Love them, they were very good on my trip. 800 km a day for 4 days out then running around a bit in Ottawa and 3.5 days to do the 3200 back.

I don't trust that damn Kenda's in the wet, I have NO feedback.

The grip is there on good dry tarmac, good enough not to warrant a swap right away, but
it's amazing how easy they slide in the wet.

I was spoiled by the Dunlop Roadsmarts (one of the very best sport-touring tires) on my
Kawasaki. They made them stoopid so they couldn't tell if it was wet or not. Never ran
out of grip.
