HEY GUYS, ANY OF U USING BATTLAX bt-39 tires? is it true that there is no bt-39ss for the rear tyre? only bt-39F? can those using battlax educate me? anyone whu is using bt-39ss 110/70 for the rear.... the bike shop told me bt-39F is meant for teh rear of sp and there is no bt-39ss for the rear... wanna know if they are lying

Never read my previous post? There is BT39SS Rear..As in REAR stamped on the tyre..Just very hard to find at bikeshops..

[gryffindor88]

is it? sorry for giving wrong info. bt39ss rear doesnt have 110/70 size right? $170 for both. mayb it's slightly on the high side for $110 rear only.

most of us prolly is using a bt39ss front for our rear tyres..

 

the front is actually for the front wheels of class 2a bikes and above..

 

my sp last time is 110/70 (a front tyre) which is use for my rear.

 

no probs at all..

i think real tire r more ex then front tire.. and each shop got their own price..

 

some bike wan new tire (mean date is recent one), they might pay more.. heard one SP rider purposely get the shop to show him tire date..

 

so if shop sell u cheap, u might wanna look at the date (dun get urself 1 years of stock)

 

here is the guide of SP parts price.. contributed by fellow SP riders.. very useful guideLINE..

 

serve as guide ONLY..

you may input wat u change here..

[kaNe]

for other BT series which is better than bt39f for rear shd be bt090.. better grip~

[revenge]

hey thanks for the tyre info guys, guess i got chopped by the shop to change my tyre for $110....

[finalsurprise]

with all these talk on tyres, i have a noob question.

 

can anyone explain or at least give the link for my question, if there are any.

 

what's the diff bet BT39SS, BT39F, BT090, etc??

 

And i'm assuming 90/80, 120/80, etc refers to the size of the tyres?

 

I know most sp riders are using battlax tyres, but how about other brands like dunlop tyres?

 

i guess my preference for tyres would be that it has a good grip, ESPECIALLY on wet roads, cos i don't wanna buang a 2nd time.

think of this way, if they do decent work, then expensive abit probably not too bad.. (just dun think too much about it lor, since $$ paid liao)

 

although LAB got cheapest tires, but u wat my bike got few morescratches on paint work after coming out from there.. :cry:

now and then saw the paint, heartache sia..

 

 

hi all bro, i saw a Yamaha R606 park in fron of me, i saw his tires rub till can see it's like melting on both side of a tire.. and i see mine, still like new..

 

i wonder how ppl really "rub" their tires on normal road?? or must "rub" on track?? i heard to get best grip, mus "rub" the tire well..

 

i read from SPort Bike magazine, it said MotoGP riders brake on front before corner, then hold the speed thru the corner..

 

hmm.. so no rear brake needed?? any lacer wana share his experience??

slow in, fast out, thats the rule. if you do the other way, then the majority of the traction will be on the front wheel, which the tyre compound is not designed to withstand such traction. so the lacers usu brake, or engine brake to get to the correct entry speed of a corner and then maintain the throttle throughout or accelerate, depending on their own style. rear brake is more harmful when you corner due to the tendency of the rear wheel to lock and you will skid and fly. try not to use the rear brakes if possible.

 

to get that rough surface on your tyres, you need to wack it. which means that normal road conditions and speed are not sufficient to make your tyre hairy. you need to bring your bike to track to wack, becos it is safer, hotter, and you can go much faster.

 

my tyres just became hairy!

and no chicken strip!

 

rear tyres are more expensive because it is usually larger and thicker than the front tyre. and there is no bt39ss rear for sizes smaller than 120/80, thats why for 110/70 the motordiam will change front use tyres for your 2b bike's rear use.

 

chenz: that rvf confirm not yours! hahaha... that pic was taken in 2005
