shldn't be a problem if you are only into normal riding.. i last time oso have a mended tyre and it lasted me quite long.. but for own safety, better change it if you have some spare cash, afterall tyre are the only thing that is contacting the ground.. anything goes wrong with the tyre = greater damages..

ehem2.. long time no see... finding 2nd hand rear tyre is it..

[Fazli]

Diablos HR is both gd in dry and wet. Be sure to maintain tyre pressure with regular checks so as not to promote uneven wear. My HR have lasted me 30,000km. A bit of uneven wear but the tyre can stil manage hard corners. A bit slippery now when wet cos of the uneven wear rear tyre.

[Dimac]

wow.. if diablo hr can last u 30k km then how bout strada? coz strada is a sport touring type right? diablo hr is a wat kind of tyre? my next change of tyre is surely diablo but dunno hr or strada..

[Kioz]

guys can someone advise me on tyres?

i don't ride hard but im the kind of guy who wants best if possible?

once in a while i do hard riding la..

 

so which 1?

 

Alpha 10 or Alpha 11?

Michelin Pilot Power or Michelin Power One?

 

 

oh by the way any1 intrested to meet up on friday for photo taking of bikes?

if so, please kindly check under the yoshimura exhaust thread for cb400.

and if someone could arrange everything would be great =D

[dragonforce]

alpha 11 supercedes alpha 10.. so no more alpha 10 already.. and alpha 11 gets my vote between alpha 11 and pilot power..

i think power one not available for 120 160 config..

[Dimac]

yea, alpha 11 is the new version of alpha 10.. to me its both the same.. no diff.. maybe price wise..

[dragonforce]

nv used the a10 so i got no comments about it.. but now a10 at the shops are remaining stocks... whereas a11 are 'fresh' from the factory..

[smiley73]

Alpha 10 wear out very fast.....

[vtec88]

heard from mech its good enough for normal riding.. but not advisable if you really like to kup corners esp if you intend to go track..

all tyre in rain abit slippery.. no matter how expensive it is.

[FrdAuZ]

just sharing some info...

 

Used the following tyres before...so i'll just give u all review on it..

 

Metzeler Sportec M1 : Overall rating [6/10]

 

very good mileage.. cant remember how many clicks the tyre last but it seems like the thread will nvr wear off..lol..

Not very good on wet weather...cornering not that syiok and theres no sticky feeling to the tyre.. few times i feel like my rear tyre skidded when cornering very low + fast.. But very worth the money.. Used it on Pasir Gudang... really2 not adviseable..no grip on corners.. engine break and it will fishtail... If u budget2 type and prefer a tyre that lasts really long.. go for it.

 

Bridgestone Battlax BT090 : Overall rating [9/10]

 

A tyre meant for corners.. really sticky and feel damn confident while cornering.. no problems on wet surface..once warmed up.. it literally picks up everything on the road surface..lol.. Didnt get a chance to try at Pasir Gudang but went up to Genting Highlands with it..went 180km/h at NSHW and feel really confident with it.. Mileage is bit dissapointing..wear out faster cos soft compound.. Really good for those corner siao.. not for frequent tourer.. its a tyre meant for tracks..

 

 

Michelin Pilot power : Overall rating [ Unavailable]

 

Bought and used today..sofar still getting use to the tyre... fells abit like Bridgestone

Bt090 when cornering..but not sticky enough... didnt literally pick everything up frm the road... havent tried on wet weather... will update bout this tyre when the time comes...
