[marcuslim]

So fast im using michelin gold standard for yp250 front n back. the cornering not bad i can say but maybe im not tat fierce la but for wet road quite normal onli la den white stripe will skid abit should be normal. Because of the funny profile size quite diff to find matching tires if im not wrong. overall not bad la. one of a forza use dunlop dunnoo which model. his one look lke tract tires damn cool.

[QuietStorm]

michelin gold standard is a gd choice IMO... its more like an all rounder...

Unocvin had the same tyres for me when I took over his yp250

still running well and good

 

I think we would both recommend this model of tyres.

My FC is also about 25km/l running on 92

My mech once told me that +/- 20% is acceptable due to various reasons e.g. riding style, weight, carb tunning

[JeetKuneDo]

running on 92...hmm..next few rounds i try...see any further drop....

 

isit advisable to chnge just the front tyre? back tyre is still very good..

it's ok to just change your front unless the back is starting to get out of shape or too slippery(not much grip)......

why not, if one tyre botak b4 way before the other, what's wrong with changing just one? personally i haven't heard of anybody who have issues with that, some even have different tyres on their bikes

but usually the front tyre should last about twice as long as the rear tyres.

[Guest nE0]

Fuel consumption varys alot depending on the type of riding done.

 

I'm getting around 27km/litre, usually riding with pillion, 50/50 in heavy traffic and highway riding. If I do more highway riding, consumption can drop to around 30km/litre, or go as high as 24km/litre if I don't go on highways at all.

same for me i will b changing my tyres to dunlop after my this current pair wear out!!!

[unocvin]

The pair of Mich Gold on the Mk 1 was 170 when I changed. Price will vary somewhat.

On the Mk 2 is the Pirelli GTS, can't comment as I don't ride it often but I am happily surprise by nEo's fuel consumption, inpressive!

For scoots, the rear tyre is subjected to much more wear than the front tyre due to the rear weight bias. It isn't just the thinning of the rubber but the carcass gets affected as well. There is much less air volume in the small 12" dia vs 17" dia of regular tyre. There are good write ups about rear tyre abuse and longevity on european based forums ..

 

I recalled the previous rear tyre (Vee Rubber) of the Mk 2 was noisy and didn't feel very confident in sharp turns, but it still had a lot of rubber on it. I had to nagged my dad into changing... big big difference!

Well, the Pirelli GTS tyres are good enough to grind the mainstand, thats good enough for me.

 

Btw, when I got the bike the tyre pressures were 20/23 for front/rear respectively. Pumped them up to 36/42, and maxed out the rear preload.

 

As for fuel consumption, resisting the urge to full trottle the bike at every traffic light helps alot. I put a mark on the trottle where the bike holds constant at 70km/h, and I make it a point not to exceed that mark by more than 0.5cm when moving off.
