Hi,

Just got my CB400 spec 3 today. Had a bad experience when i was riding my phantom TA200 last time, self skeed twice with IRC tire. Wanna check if CB400 spec 3 stock tire is it adviceable to change. According to bike shop mech, he says that its a racing tire and good. i realise most of the bikes are using Mitzeler tire. Is it better?

if you changing Sportec M1 or M3 please Pm and sell me your stock tires thanks...

Acceleration power is not important than a good perfect braking system to prevent an accident.

Sure or not racing tires. Advisable to change if you like to go fast. Its slippery and the grip not so good especially on rainy day. But very long lasting. So do not travel too fast during rainy days as the gripping is not so good.

i agree wif ivikarazi... good on dry days.. but not as good on rainy days... my tyre was on for 2 yrs before i changed.. even wif minimal threads, the gripping during corners are still good.. don't change yet until necessary i.e front tyre botak.. cos normally front finish faster..

I think the spec 3 stock tire not bad la.Been using for 1 & half year,so far so good.And i don't think that stock is a racing tire.

stock tire which one?? u got the battalax bt-56(or issit 50 i forgot) or the dunlop sportmax?? got 2 version of spec 3 too... the older spec 3 comes wif battalax and the newer one is sportmax... wat mech say is quite true... the tyre can be used for high speed but definitely no really suitable for race... both tyres can be used for cornerin... battalax seems to wear out faster compared to sportmax (based on mileage and not time) but den it oso depends on your riding style... if u r the kind hu likes pick up or quite a big weight definitely it wears off faster... but sportmax will have a prob later when its left wif lesser than a quater thread... it doesnt really grip on dry road... but both tyres are very good enuff for normal road riding n for non-race riders... :angel:

metzeler m1 or m3 is very good but takes time to warm up and suitable for race use... but den again its quite pricey...

 

tis is juz my opinions only... its up to u to decide though...

tyres r not recommanded to use more than 1 year even though the thread is still healthy. considering the fact that the tyre compound harden after time, compound detiorate due to usage n so on. yes. it might still grip but it takes that one time that it doesn't grip to screw urself up.

 

stock tires r normally street tyres. or sport touring tyres. good for normal usage but not track. m1 n m3 r dual purpose tyre. they r for track n road use. race tyres r for track use. not for street use.

 

when to change n wat to change for ur tyre, u decide. :thumb:

well, that is up to individual. tyre shelf life is about 5 years from date of manufacture. then the tyres we use is normally of 1 year or 2 years of shelf life. n with the sun n rain, the compound weakens n hardens which dun grip well. yes. u still can take corners or use it for 2 or even 3 years. thats individual decision. but if anything were to happen when the bike skidded, then dun blame anything or anyone.
