Hi all, the mileage of my front tyre is 13000km and according to a mech, my front tyre is damaged and need to replace. He claimed that if the tyre is not replaced, the consequence are bike wobbling and will cause the rear tyre to spoilt too. But, till now, mi ride are perfectly fine so i dunno whether to take his advice anot. Can give mi some of your opinion?

Btw the 'damage' i am toking about is that the edge of the thread of my front tyre are jagged.

Ok wat tyre that you guys can recommend for long lasting? Affordable, and seldom cut corner?

[Qrisx]

skidded and crash 2 times with that tyre. add wet weather? disaster.

20cents all over my kneecap ah!!!!

Your mech advise stands correct...your wheel bearing is oso affected.

Mine oso having the same problem. Front tire uneven wear when I notice it at 10000km. Mechanics say very likely due to bearing spoilt and at wet weather be careful cos easier to skid. Up til now at 14000km, I had not change yet but will do it very soon.

 

My bike fitted with box and found wobbling at 60km with 1 hand off. That was at 5000km. Another mechanic say got box is like that one but I think very likely is cause by the front tire......

Omg! Hope you are fine after the crashes...

Wet weather performance for M1 is terrible and that's why I changed it fast enough before any crashes...

My advice for you, don't go for M1 or BT020.

Get BT021 instead.

[longjump]

i'm using it... currently 3 months plus old.... i find it doesnt really grip on wet road.. thats why nvr ride fast also on wet road. so far nothing incriminating happen.

but i heard michelin tyres are better

[tissue]

oh...

thanks for ur info...

i've decide to change to M3 just b4 the mech place the diablo on my rim...

although a bit ex but think is worth it...

thanks anyway..

[inspire85]

Use maxis tire for wet weather.. Power.. It grips the land strong.. I tried to do burnout wif my current tire but failed, my previous tyre can do easily.. :cheeky:

[gwzc_mk2]

i going to change my tyre soon. got any good recommendations?

some of the tires i thinking of changing

- dunlop alpha 10

- diablo hr

- battlax bt21

 

any one using these 3 brands? hows the grip on both dry and wet weather and how long they lasts?

[rxgn]

just changed to diablo at unique @ $240..

 

hope it will be better than m1..

[gwzc_mk2]

just changed diablo at bikeworks for 220

 

feel the diff immediately. good grip on wet road

[Wilinson]

using BT021 now. is great.

[deviLLian]

[heipi]

bro, anyone know which bridgestone tyre is good for spec 1? and the price is reasonable, and where can i get it? first time changing tyre for my s4.

[MUSHA]

What is the smallest width a Vtec1 can use for the rear? Possible to use 140 like ver s? Would like to try smaller tyre, hehe

 

Not good for cornering. Best to stick back to recommended size.
