Hi,

I cant seems to find any topics regarding size 18 tyres for my RXZ.

Can someone recommend me good tyres size 18 both front and rear?

 

Thanks,

[sukada]

hi i juz chge to BT020...izzit suitable for 400cc bike??? pls advice...

[S4Sixty]

What's a pair of good tyres(tube or tubeless) for my RXZ ??

I'm using 18 inch sport rims... Not much of a choice so need a good advice.

 

No way to change to 17 inch sport rims as well.

 

Thanks for all inputs!

hi il4, i dun understand some of the thing u said..pls explain more...

 

no...not really, but u still can live with it...

its more heavier then the recommeded tires,

and the outcome: (if heavier wat will happen?)

increase unsprung weight (wat it mean??)

longer braking distance

more inertia and hence (wat u mean?)

poor gas mileage (wat u mean?)

suspension have to cope with the added weight

[sukada]

 

imagine that ya riding a bicycle....and imagine wat will happen when i add weight to the wheel....

 

pedal till shack

take a longer distance to brake...

 

another example will be, imagine u pillion your gerfriend, compare to u riding alone, theres a different in weight....

 

tho this is not the best example to represent unsprung weight, but it gives the same impression

so in another word my fuel consumption is more izzit??

n my engine n suspension will get more stress up izzit???

[sukada]

 

yeah

thk alot il4.....so how to maintain a gd tires???like how long to check air pressure..n how much air to pump for rear n front???

[Guest FireSpitter]

 

check tire pressure as frequent as possible, 32psi for your front and 36 for your rear (street use). Thats for CBR400

 

il4, what's your tire pressure setup like? Also, do you know of any 18" sport rims that'll fit our bikes and use tubeless tires?

[Guest buja]

hmm jus read off a bike mag yesterdae....metzeler coming out with a super fat busturd. damm fat wheel that needs special rim n a swingarm enough to fit in.....aku tatawu sia....

thk for all the advice....u been a great help...

[R3sistor]

just to share the info. according to kawa manual, the tyre pressure when cold should be 28PSI FRONT, 32PSI rear.

sorry to jump in like this jus wanted to know where to get mechilin pilot race how much does it cost?? planning to get it for rs250

[Guest FireSpitter]

so far those sporty ones i see are those excel rims. at least 1.6" wide for 17"

 

18" is a thing of the past...

 

Tire pressure...i'm using TT900 using 25psi to 28psi....

 

18" no choice... Using 2 good brand new 18" race tires now. No plans to change them for now.

[Guest FireSpitter]

i doubt even Excel Rims have any 18" dude.

 

I'm using 18" shod with TT900, and its pretty good...

 

TT's are bias ply tires and they tend to get very hot(overly flex under stress) and they are not know to dissipate heat well....

 

and if u look at the whole picture in a brighter side...18" tires runs a tad cooler then 17" tires

 

Saw them in 18 X 1.85 size in their website but hinted to Jeffrey(Mah), he didn't say mention he had any though. Might be opting for heavier options like sports rims off another bike (For puncture insurance). Saw a 3 spoke design (Similar to TZR Double Disc) on another K but not too sure about it's diameter.

 

The TT's were obvious choices for me amongst many other options but my past favourable experiences with them made me go for them.

[Guest FireSpitter]

any luck with D.I.D or union? I'm not very good with this sports rim thingy on Lau K

 

Might give EXCEL a miss after all. Remembering many years ago, also on a Lau K, kenna a big nasty nail, along Jalan Bahar. Not a nice feeling.... Sports rims with tubeless tires seems only logical at this point of time, although they're heavier.

You wanna get sport rims size 18 ??

Can get at JB for RM200 for a set plus installation.

Add RM30 for a pair or bearings.

TT900 (msia) @ about RM60-70.

 

Cheers !

[Deathsythe]

[taupok]

I don't think thats suitable for your gixxer..

why not try BT090?

or dunlops' GPR70?

[mamat]

Is bt090 radial tyres? is it in the sport/hi-performance category?

 

Can we mix sport-touring tyres with sport tyres say,bt45 and bt010

[mamat]

Thanks v much for the info il4.Guess i'll stick with the same set.

Whats ur view on battlax BT45? Wat are the models from other brands in th same cat?

 

 

 

no u cannot mix radial and bia ply tires.....

 

remember that bias ply tires get heated up really fast and they dun dissipate heat and u run into trouble of having different operating temperature and hence u have inconsistent grip...on top of that, due to different construction between bias ply and radial....they flexed differently,

bias ply flexes too much....stick to either matching ones, never mix
