dc3 was brand new then... took it to track, i think 30f, 32r if i not worng...

 

coz my front wear out alreadi, but rear still left plenty!!! and i got no time n $$ for track now.... so just use 2nd hand tires first.... till both wear out den buy bt003..

 

but hell thats alot of difference, i didnt expect street and track tires to haf so much handling difference.... did u try diff types of tires before?

[MIGHTY MAX]

If used track tyre(not slick), tyre pressure should be 28-30 Front & 28-30Rear...for road or street, 34-36F & 38R..

noooooo.. not plannin to go track with these tyres.. the side quite worn... but anyway...

 

hwo come for street the pressure lower than recommended in manual? i think manual states 36f, 42r.... how come ah?

actually my 2nd pair of tires were oso 2nd hand.. hahaha.. but they were brand new 2nd hand.. so i trust them.. wun u worry abt ur tires being too worn out ? liddat how to enjoy whackin ard the track sia

 

all my tires so far r sporty street tires.. handling is gd n light.. the onli time when i encounter heavy steering is when i set my front tire pressure too low..

darn, ie hanged...

 

btw what tires were u on previously? i dont plan to go track soon, abit short on cash and time, hence i got a 2nd hand... i'll probably go back after i get some fresh tires, still thinkin what to get... bt003rs is in mine mind currently...

 

i wouldnt say sporty street tires aint good, probably the best handling is the michilin 2ct.... but comparing my dc3 and supercorsa, its really quite a huge difference.....

 

as u noe, riding on a track and riding on a street is really different and i think that with the supercorsa, it isnt so tiring at the track....

[Wayang]

i duno.. i havent tried a dot race tire like supercorsa or rennsport so i cant give a fair asessment..

[MIGHTY MAX]

btw max.. great pics..

 

 

 

Tks bro,.....u must trust the tire den u have a good 100% confident...

If i talking abt track riding, well it depend of each riders..either they really do hard riding or just relaxing(new comer)...track tyre need a lot of grip...that why they soft, medium or hard compound...& mostly they would not last long...

hey max.. how come street riding rear so low at 38 ah?? coz recommended its 42.. issit coz of weather in sg higher den ang moh countries??

Singapore weather is humid....i think that E:dozed:uro or USA..their summer is way high ..ard 35degress above...best is 38psi rear & front 36psi...that way u have grip on street riding...& tyre would not worn fast....the lower tyre pressure..the faster worn but more grip...Pro & Cons....

[MIGHTY MAX]

Best is, try at pasir gudang....play ard with the tyre pressure then u understand..but not to low....

hmmm, this gotta wait till i get a new set of tires....

 

i see, so bascially its wat someone prefers. as for me i'm good with 42, grip has been always good on street.... plus dc3 heats up fast.... so i guess i'm staying with it. dont wanna try lowering it and it might overheat the tire due to large contact surface. which lead to high wear also...

 

anyway thanks for the explaination!!
