huh! 480 front 360 rear? so high? and in the 1st place y they pump front higher than rear?

 

Think he said the shop try to pump up high pressure to "squeeze" the tyre in. How un-professional is that?! :giddy:

How time flies...

 

Big is certainly a warning but small can be downright scary! Never underestimate the effectiveness of small.

yeah i know.. but by pumping in more air it will be more inflated thus harder to put the tyres back into the rim.. no?

To pump high pressurised air in, it will force the tyre outwards to bit onto the inner edge of the rim.

 

So sorry about the PS2... :cheeky: I beng beng type PS2 but in my mind I keep thinking of PSP. :p

oh icic.. so the tyre is fitted onto the rim already then they pump high pressure so that it forces the rubber to press tightly against the rim..

haha.. no wonder you ask got what colour..

Hi fellow S4 riders,

 

I have been riding a Super 4 Vtec 1 for the past 5 years.. But I haven't actually got the right combination for my front and rear tyres... I have tried Bridgestone Battlax BT090 and also Metzeler Sportec M1. But I have also seen people combining 2 different brands and models altogether for the front and rear tyres.

 

Based on your own expereience, which pair of tyres is the best for Super 4, in terms of long lasting road use, good traction and cornering. Thanks in advance! :)

i think bt021 is more long lasting as compared to bt090.. i am definitely sure bt090 is very good for cornering.. i used a worn out bt090 and i take corners lower than when using a new bt021.

BT090 are used for racing in taiwan and zhuhai for middle weights.....

And grip and mileage doesnt go hand in hand...That's the facts...You can only compromise in between....

I would prefer Diablo over M1. Bridgestone tyres r just over priced now. :giddy:

lasting i read? definitely bt021.. bt020 is the older version of bt21.. correct me if i am wrong.. bt090 is for cornering.. gives you alot of confidence when doing it..

The latest tyres pricelist which I checked today at Unique was $350 for a pair of Battlax BT021 and $285 for a pair of BT090...

 

Sportec M1 was selling for $255 for a pair... I believe the prices are proportionate for a reason... The more expensive, the better... Haha..

BT021 is really lasting.. 5k mileage liao still look brand new.. It's reasonable for cornering also.. 312C corner can bend ard 45degree.. Of course not those almost stick to the ground cornering..

Wet weather shiok.. But when wan to corner at dry weather a bit not so shiok.. Wan to bend lower but scared the tire give way.. After all it's still touring tire, dun give me much confidence as compared to sports tire..
