wat abt TT900 Gp? at 40 per pc?

 

I believe TT900 GP made in Jap is much alike of Battlax :smile:

not really alike

 

thread not same !

 

and if u compare both tires on the bike , dunlop tires will look bigger den battalax.

 

dunlop tires are "chunkier"..battalaz tires more streamline even thou both are same size !

Bigger or smaller is only the front width of the tire between TT900Gp and BT 39.

 

Bridgestone tires fxxk-up lah that is why also cheaper although made in Japan.

 

For BT39, if you go high speed the tire don't have feedback and tractional grip.

 

In the wet even worse.

 

If you know how to scrub in a new set of TT900 GP until the surface of the tire becomes really rough, then you will know which tire is more superior!

 

Only ppl who cannot properly scrub in a new set of tires don't know what the fxxk am I talking about here! :D

If you know what I mean when I say.....about these 'racers' in Kallang they are always trying to find a cheapo alternative especially in tires as these are the items which are termed as consumables...GET IT?

 

Anyway, kid don't try to talk about racers with me lah..O.K?

 

Afterall, if you use a tire just for a short life span to race then BT39SS or TT900GP will both be workable but 900GP has the edge when used on the street for a longer time frame. :D

ergonomics - battalax has slight edge

 

durability - quite sure dunlop TT900GP

 

Performance - maybe dunlop ( i say maybe )

 

overall u need to run-in (scrub) the tire properly and tires has lifespan.

 

dun tell me after 1 yr u install the tire , u still go buah corner !!! good luck

 

different man different words different skills

 

Ren Ge you Zhi, end of the day , u enjoy performance of the tires is :thumb:

afterall these tires are "usable" la...quite high performance tires for 2B liaoz

 

if u want optimum racing performance , go install a dunlop GPR70 or pirelli dragon.

 

the down side is u got to use a class 2A/2 front tire !

BTW , i am running on Bridgestone battalax BT56f

 

and i was damn shock that day !

 

The tyre is power :thumb: ....was riding in the afternoon and i took a corner.

 

when i reached my destination , out of curiosity, i checked my tyres !

 

and oh man , the tyre is "hot" meaning it do stick well when i was riding !

 

Good tyres ! heat up well when riding , not sure is soft or medium soft compound
