I prefer Pirelli city demon over metzeler for wet road riding. I wana try Irc for the next change if i have the chance.

i Find Metzeler Rear Botak very fast....

[BlackDawn]

Metzelers are soft compound tyres which has better grip but faster wear.

[Toyota23]

true... Pirelli city demon can last longer..

[Paladin]

metz are not soft... just that it's abt the softtest end you can get from phantom's range of tires.

[ahpuirider]

from the poll, metzelers is the most popular choice of tires so far. i heard phantom rear rim can fit up to 150 width tyre. is that true? anyone using using tire wider than 130?

[jtzx]

for rear tires.. use irc better...

[ahpuirider]

for rear tires.. use irc better...

 

??? are you sure? so many people complain irc rear tire tend to be slippery during wet and rainy conditions...

[TheYasMan]

I think he meant IRC Soft Compounds, not the stock IRCs. IMO the best soft tyres are the former.

not the stoke IRC dude.. You can get the IRC wildfire..

 

 

they will burn the roads and sweep the road too ;-)

[ahpuirider]

icic, thanks for explaining. im currently using rear IRC NR 67. is that a stock IRC tire? don feel like changing now cos threadlife still alot and conditon still good. wanna make it more botak before changing.

[jtzx]

should be.. just use till it becomes botak first.. don't waste.. ;-)

Hmm so far, i feel that my pirelli city demon is really good. Not really afraid of wet weather anymore.
