BT090 is a racing tyre, supposely is more gripy.

 

dun mean to be sarcastic....but knn ..... if you got skill means you got skills la.... still care whether the tyre is racing type or not.

:lol:

abit off-track, well.... the set of BT39SS tyres itself has a good grip, dun need to go mix-and-match urself.

even the websites of the tyre manufacturers do not recommend mixing of diff models of tyres.

;)

No lar, i don't intend to race u know, i jus feel that it will be more gripy. that's all.

i got a question in mind.

it's known that new tires has a layer of wax on it.

how to get rid of the wax at the corner of the surface in a more safe method. otherwise need to go around cornering.... but the wax tend to make the surface alittle slippery...

think i mention in one of my post...use thinner to wipe over then use sand paper to sand off the wax area...

burn ur tire...

speed on a straight....jammed ur rear brake....turn ur handle bar to the left....then to the right!

rem to twist ur body, then ur pose will be beau-ti-ful.

:D

u will learn this in the defensive riding cse.

 

like that wont create flat spot on your tyre meh...

go 4 the bridgestone brand of tyres...best of the best

 

Whether best of the best depends on the useage and purpose for the tyres.

Life short, play hard

You will be sorry when you see me.

 

Speed is not how fast you can go,

But how fast you can handle.

 

Ppl always think they\'re good but

It\'s others tat judge them not themselve.

:smile:

Ride fast but safe... Skills matters most... the slow ONE... I WAS TOO SLOW at 1min 50.9sec :D

 

Past rides: Quite a few and different types

Choice of tyres depend on many things.... type of bike, cc of bike, type of rider, type of riding, type of budget etc...

 

There will always be a compromise between grip and life of tyre....ie, good grip, shorter tyre life and vice versa....

 

As for tyre pressure, you should always check the recommended tyre pressure rather than post on the forum and ask people. I mean, my tyres require 42psi, front and rear.... but I suspect that most of you will not require this kind of pressure.....

 

And try not to skint on tyres 'cause they are the only parts of the bike that are constantly in contact with the road.

 

Also beware of 'cheaper' tyres. Some bike shops, in order to clear their stock will sell 'out of date' tyres cheaper. Same model, but the rubber compound on the tyres are harder, a natural degeneration of the rubber. Purchasing these kinds of tyres, you will experience less grip and premature cracking on the rubber. So beware.
