its best that you have your bike checked by your mech.. if its hardened already its time to change your tyres..

[hachi]

anyone using Metzeler ME Z1 ,any comments abt the tyres?

 

ME Z1 debuted in 1996.

So doesnt a 13 years old model perform better than today tires??

I wouldnt put it on my 100bhp bike at least....

Low powered bikes can consider if the price is good.

Hmmm ,from my point of view since all my other brothers are using,pirelli is one of the most gripping tyres tat i ever known apart from michelin,water dispersion during high rotary speed takes out at least 50 to 85% of water from the thread thus improve grip during wet weather.but have you season it?

 

 

Today went to change one set of Pirelli Diablo HRs at Unique Motorsports... $255... Unable to test yet... Still slippery and was raining all day...

 

Not enough $$$ to change to the Bridgeport tyre valves... Did other servicing though....

wow.. how did you arrive your figure of 50-85%?

 

i using bt021 front and rear.. would it be recommended to change to other brands of front tyre cos i heard bt021 front squares out quite fast..

[biting_point]

you guys should try Michelin Power One..

can give it your full confidence that it will grip well after warm up..

 

wear and tear wise, i cant comment yet as mine are only 3 weeks old..

tyres are best performs as a set.. as normally front and back will work together..

 

i tried BT021 on my S4 before.. mine also squared out in the front. you can either buy just the front or whole set to ensure performance..

 

you can try BT090 as it got better performance and cheaper than BT021.. but of cuz, they wear out faster too..

BT090 is quite a old model already too..

[dragonforce]

hi

my bt021 have not squared out yet but was thinking to change to michelin pilot sport or bt090 or others if it squares out..

oh yeah! bt090 is very good.. my previous set before bt021 was bt090.. my worn out bt090 gave me more confidence than my bt021. of cos that's on dry.

[safshadows]

well i gotta check it out wit my mech then.

my back tyre seems fine.

with 100 bucks, what kind of front tyre shud i get? size? is hkl a good place?

(sori man i jus got my s4 so am super lost bout those stuff)

=)

Dunno bout HKL but Unique Motors price quite reasonable.

 

Recomends Metzeler Sportec M3.Long lasting.

 

Although im using Bt090..i wanted to buy M3 but that time no stock.

[dragonforce]

i changed my set of tyres there.. price cheaper than unique probably cos of a mini MO going on that time..

[safshadows]

where's this unique shop anw?

[FrdAuZ]

[safshadows]

anw guys, wad front tyre size is recommendable uh?

if i wanna get metzeler sportec M3.

[dragonforce]

if you are riding vtec series std for front is 120..

[safshadows]

oicc. coz im nt too sure of the problem wether is my front tyres causing the wobbling or mayb the rim bent redi.

jialat!

[rayhunter]

should be the tyre..mine too,but i still can live with it..

[FrdAuZ]

Maybe ur tyre pressure not enough..pump following the PSI on the sidewall of ur tyre

[safshadows]

the tyre seems fine tho...

can the bearing be the cause of this wobbling ??

[Nacromonger]

any1 of you ever use Metzeler Z6 tyre

can u give me any feedback & where to get it?

[eement]

bro can any1 enlighten me with these three tire

 

ME Z1, pilot sport and preilli diablo HR

 

wat are the advantage of each

[rayhunter]

Maybe ur tyre pressure not enough..pump following the PSI on the sidewall of ur tyre

 

pump every week..so can't be this reason.

 

the tyre seems fine tho...

can the bearing be the cause of this wobbling ??

 

i suspect this also...

[khaitronic]

Time to change tyre...after reading reviews from u all...im convince that bt021 is the best choice for me...

 

anyone change recently? Where got good deal for this tyre?

[DanRxz]
