Hi guys, any recomendations for gsxr400 tryes..

me ride ard 60km everyday for working..

 

Can i use BT020?

If your bike can fit in a 150/70-17 for the rear, can fit.....that's the smallest they have for the rear.

 

Good tyre choice, as it's durable. Sports touring tyres.

nope, not the same.

 

dragon evo is more for the street.

dragon supercorsa has different compounds for street as well as track.

32f n 34b...and some 32f n 30b.

 

from mags and some riders and self feel.

some advice for track use may even go down to 28f n back..

all in all, you should consider your load/weight when riding....

Just put on a new pair of ContiForce Max.....so far so good. But tyres feel pretty hard on 36F 42R. Probably I'm used to the softer feel of the Rennsport RS2..... I lowered the pressure of the ContiForce Max to 32F 36R, feels better now.

 

Might run them at 32F 34R in PG :smile: Will update then.

maybe road was bumpy?

 

how much vibeS?

 

no tire is gonna take away vibrations.

 

too high a tire pressure would make you feel bumpy, furthermore, after a change of tires, your bike is now higher by 5-10mm. and may have affected 2-5% of steering as well.

 

pressure up to 36 psi. and you need to measure your suspension sag as well.

 

vibrations, more or less after tire change is common, due to different compounds, tire pressure, height.
