[ReBornBikeR]

I am due for a tyre change too, count me in if you guys go for Bridgestone BT021

 

Just read webbikeworld.com comments on this tyre, quite good.

[omnislash]

was researching the diff b/w HPX and non-HPX and it lead me to a ZX12 forum.

.

.

.

With that being the case, is the "special construction" specifically for the high power bikes just hype? For me... Yep, it is. Hell, how many race tires for bikes that put out more HP and are far more abusive, have this "special construction"? Having run 200/50 tires from both Dunlop (D207) and Michelin (Pilot HPX), when I compared the wear life of those two to the Michelin Pilot 180/55 (non-HPX)... guess what? I get the best and most even wear from the 180/55!

 

The D207 200/50 could bearly make it to 2000 miles. If I spent any amount of time on non-twisty roads, they would be flat spotted by 1500~1650 miles. I know what your thinking... it must be running a lower then recommended tire pressure, right? Actually, it's the opposite. At 41 psi cold, I'd be lucky to get 1800 miles out of a D207 and it would have a narrow (about 1 1/2" wide) flat spot strip. The tire that came with the bike wore out so quickly, that I was able to make a warranty claim on it and get a free OEM version replacement. That was after a Dunlop rep looked at the tire (little did they know).

 

At 38 psi, it prolonged the tire's life and widened the flat spot (which became appearent several hundred miles later then at 41 psi). 36 psi was the magic number for me to get over 2K out of a D207. Every single D207 that came of the back of my bike was showing metal cords. It's not that I ment for it to be that way, it's just that's what always happened. I'd be out on a ride and at a gas stop, I'd notice a few small horizontal slits in the center of the tire. By the time I reached the next smoke break (about 50~70 miles), there would be dozens of those slits. Some of them would be so close to each other, that it would look like a thin layer of rubber was worn off in that area. By the next 50~100 miles, large patches of metal cords would be showing.

 

The first Pilot I ran (200/50 HPX) did not show any signs of flat spotting until I had close to 2K miles on it. There was still plenty of tread left on the tire. I replaced it at almost 2500 miles. The following Pilot HPX rears would last around 2300~2400 miles. Even though I'd ride on them until there was no tread in the center 3"~4", I have never... I mean NEVER seen the cords of a Michelin.

 

What's even stranger is that the same would apply to the 180/55 Pilots too. There is one difference though. I've been getting 200~300 MORE miles out of the non-HPX 180/55. This is with running the tire at 36~38 psi. The 180/55 has also added at least 15% to my corner speeds.

But of course, the dimension of the tires are not the same to begin with...

 

Damn, am i paying for sth which i dun need....

[deanz4]

[ashenZ]

i tot so too.. but was said dat using 190... cornering no smooth....

[ashenZ]

i tot so too.. but was said dat using 190... cornering no smooth.... dunoe true not.. anyone can comment?

[happy_cookies]

190 is for haya.. if fit into our fjr, maybe will kena rear arm....

[omnislash]

High speed stability ----> use 190

Sharper cornering ------> use 180
