Product : Tyre Review

[Guest ZZR-Pilot]

Dude, u have got to try Dunlop GPR70SP....life will never be the same in those "mountain roads"....

 

I can't find GPRs here, probably due to the fact that there aren't many 400cc bikes around. How much are they in SG?

 

Hey guess what, there was a landslide somewhere along the twisty road up Awana. The incident swallowed a car and cubkia who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. The whole stretch has been closed since. No more thrashing up Genting for us then. *sigh*

Hi ppl,

 

Pls remember other than the Z ratings (speed rating), there are also weight ratings on tyres. Forgotten abt the ratings class, anyone has got it, care to share? So, no matter wether if the speed rating or watever stickiest compound souds good, remember to check if it is meant for the intened weight of yr bike. Cos if its meant for bigger bikes, means heavier weight class and needs a heavier bike to warm the tyres to proper 'stickiness'. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Btw, why no one discuss abt dual purpose tyres? hehe.

I'm using Pirelli Skorpion for my AT, $240 a pair with new set of Pirelli tubes. Quite lasting....more than 6 mths liao

[No_regret]

Thank you guys.

I changed mez1 about 2+ months ago. Dont know is because i buang when corner. but find it not sticky enough when it is not warm up. And my 125cc bike(not enough power) seems to need quite long for the tyre to warm up.

 

Maybe i should sell my tyre to my friend(since he wants mez) and change to gpr.

[Tut Tut]

Ahhh...yesh yesh..such as 140/80/17 59H or 130/80/17 63W etc etc...

and things like radial, steel radial.....hmm...so much for tyre profiles...

cheemmm

wat is the tire pressure tat ya using?

 

U mean how much air i pump har? i pump 200

[speedster]

My rear tyres uses 190/60 ZR17, but sometimes quite diffcult to find 60. Wonder if it's OK to use 190/50 ZR17.

 

Any advise from any seasoned riders

Wat u guys reccomend for GSXR400?

[speedster]

My load rating for rear is 78W front is 62W. While it is easy to find tyres with the load rating for my front,it is quite hard to find the rating for my rear. So is it OK to use lower load rating for my rear, say 73W since the Bridgestone BT012SS seems appealing enough.

[juliannks]

My pair of 010 was from Ah boy. It seem much cheaper than elsewhere.

 

Notice that no one mention getting from him? Why is that so?

 

If not, where would be a good place? My tires running out soon.

[Deathsythe]

Wat u guys reccomend for GSXR400?

Ride very slowly in the rain then...

I cant help

 

Not very friendly.

At least give me some examples of the tyres and their function.

So I can know what exactly is required by me mah.

Come on u r the expert.

[Guest Supertoad76]

so ahhh .... is there anyone who ride cruiser who can give some infor on

crusier tires

 

currently riding TA 200

[Guest ZZR-Pilot]

Hey, your ride manz, havent heard anything since the spill.

 

No news yet, that's why. Insurance is taking their own sweet time, what with the holiday season and all. Anyway, I don't expect to hear from them until January. At least.

 

What they'll give me definitely won't be enough to cover all repairs. I don't mind forking out a bit of cash to fix stuff, but so troublesome. I might as well save the cash, opt for a total loss write-off and get a ZX-6 or something.. Still haven't decided.

 

In the meantime, looking around for a cubkia to buy. Cheap cheap.. hehe..

[Rider32]

Any idea when the Pirelli Diablo will be selling in SG?

 

My Stock BT011 front is still ok.... The BT010 rear is still alright during dry weather, but it is very slippery during wet weather.......

 

Still cant decide to get BT012SS or supercosa2 if Diablo is still not avaliable... Dun think will go track often, but wish to have good grip in dry weather but not compromise in wet weather too.....

[RobVanDam]

anyone know the price range for a 120/70 17-inch tyre (BT010 or BT012SS)?

[Rider32]

SC2 no good for wet weather? But i heard from a few people saying that SC2 grip quite well in wet weather too.....
