My default are a set of Pirelli but its starting to wear off. How much to change for a pair?

 

I just changed to Pirelli City Demon yesterday. $150 for pair at Unique MotorSport. Plus free chainlube and octane booster.

Does Phantom encounter skidding and/or fishtailing easily? I really do not wish to add to the statistics should I self-skid

yes, Phantom does tend to fish tail. but can be prevented one la. this evening i was traveling abt 90kmh abt 100m away from traffic light, when light turn amber, i actually wanted to chiong thru but saw got beat red light camera. so i brake hard and i fish tail a little... heng, managed to control the fish tail. road was dry but when rear brake applied with sufficient force still can fish tail. btw, i'm using stock IRC rear tire:slapforehead:gonna change it soon...

from people's review yes...

 

But personally no for me.. Maybe i got the right tire pressure and i go safe??

it happens.. happened to me twice..

lucky i watch initial D..

AHAHA..

both times raining.. tapped rear brake too hard i tink..

[Hydher]

most bikes tend to skid during rainy weather and hard braking.

I understand. But dis the tendency of the Phantom to skid more than other bikes? If so, I think the bike wouldn't be very suitable for new riders such as me

[Hydher]

If youre considering something with a smaller tyre, i think the tendency is higher. Skidding was for my first two months. Never kissed the road because of it though.

[hanern]

May i know which will be better? Metz or Bridgestone? how much is it and where can i get it?

[Hydher]

metz are good and reccomended.

[pikapika82]

Anyone changed your rear tyre to metz or pirelli at planet recently? How much is it? Thanks

[ahcaibiker]

just wondering whether it's possible to fit the bridgestone battlax series tyre on the rear phantom wheel?

not possible... they have never made battlax for 15 inch rims...

hi PKs.. would the skidding problem stop if the tyres where to be changed?

[Hydher]

reduced and is the first step you should take against old and worn off tyres. Personally, yes with added anticipation and understanding of your ride.

the few phantom tyres available are all made with hard compounds... changing the tyres will only bring a marginal difference... like hydher said, just replace your tyres when it is worn or that it is too old...

[moustache]
