There's apparently a shortage at the moment for Bridgestone tires that are compatible with Slashers. So, it might help to plan ahead for the next shipment for fellow Slasher riders who intend to get the tires.

Thanks Nights. That shop i went the other told me to wait till 1400hrs or so to replace my rubber. But was kind of bore so i went home first. Sigh, only thing is to see is there any shop near my place in the Northeast zone to change the tire.

Northeast....hmm...are you near Ang Mo Kio? Over at Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2, on the 5th storey, there are a few bike shops which deal with tire as well, you might want to give there a try.

Using Dunlop at the moment. Guys, remember that tire gripping can only last for 10mth at most but of course if there is no running on wet surface, then no problem if you want to wait until tire went bald before changing.

how much would a rear dunlop cost? my rear tire is going bald soon... :smile:

Is it the D404? I remember getting quoted at Wing Yap Balestier for about $150. Not sure if that includes labour as that place has a habit of giving you a price upfront and then adding labour after that amount. Call 62566902 to ask, mate.

Got mine front rubber replaced with IRC WildFlare....... The last front replaced with Wild Flare was on Sep 19 2003. So till now, should be abt 1.5 years old. This time the odo clock 77969km......Let this thread be the counter of the rubber till next replacement. My rear still thick and good, so not no need to be replaced....maybe till next replacement run.

Finally, my rear IRC WildFlares got replaced on 3rd October05. It going bald very soon, though can still tahan for abt another mth or so usage. Cos now working time is not as flexible as last time, so while on leave, got the oil, oil filter n rubber changed at one go.

 

The rear IRC WildFlares was installed since Sep 19th 2003, so would i say it lasted me for more than 2 years before it got replaced. (we can't calculate the toughness by days, but by mileage.) The 2nd front Wildflares remains.

 

This time got myself a BridgeStone ExeDra G546, 170/80/15. Cos the shop say got to wait for shipment for the WildFlare. Not sure how's the quality of the BridgeStone ExeDra series, maybe the experienced user can share. The ODO meter clock about 86830km. Did not try to hard on the new rubber as raining yesterday, wet floor. Today tried break in the rubber on drier road. Not bad i would say, just that not as soft feeling as the WildFlare first install, abit hard.

anyone knows the diff between bias-ply n radial tracked tyres? :confused: saw the description in a mag...but dun really know wat the fook it is....the general idea is dun mix bias ply n radial together or else handling performance will be affected....but how to differeciate?

Radial ply tires have two belts, usually of a fiberglass composition, that run all the way around the circumference of the tire. Radial tires tend to keep more of the contact patch on the ground and squirm less than a bias ply tire. The sidewalls are also firmer.

 

Bias ply tires use a belt, usually made of some sort of fabric, but sometimes fiberglass, that runs from tire bead to tire bead at about a 45 degree angle to the tire circumference... hence the term "bias". Bias ply tires tend to have softer sidewalls and the tread squirms more when it makes contact with the ground.

 

Radial ply tires generally have a better road feel, like the bike is running on a rail while bias ply tires tend to be more mushy. Bias ply tires also get poorer mileage and are somewhat cheaper.

 

Bias ply tires predate radials by quite a few years and are old technology, IMO. On a larger bike I would not consider bias ply tires... on a smaller machine the effects may not be as noticable.

 

One thing is for sure... never mix radial and bias ply tires... it will severly affect the handling of your bike... for the bad.

Sori for being ignorant. How can we differentia these 2 types of tyres? Stated along the rubber?

There will be an 'R' in the tire size. For example the back tire on my Valk is a 180/70R-16... the R lets you know it is a radial.
