Can their prices be compared to ahboy?

[at0m87]

I got mine from unique 320.

I think Ah Boy might be cheaper but I won't scrimp the couple of tens of dollars for their workmanship.

HKL having promo.. i'm also thinking of M5.. hahaha been reading this thread & M5 was given a very good reviews..

[DeRider84]

Hi guys... Need some advice...

I just bought my SuperFour some 3 months back...

My tyres are Shinko... Noticed that the front wheel is almost worn out, but the rear tyre is OK...

Was reading the thread and am really tempted to get M5....

Is riding with a worn out front tyre dangerous?

Is this the time to get new set of tyres?

[pyro13]

Of cos its dangerous.. Ur front wheel skids easier which nakes it even more dangerous then the rear wjeel

[Fazli]

Front skid, no way to control. Rear skid can at least counter steer to control...

[pyro13]

Yeap. Anw, fazli.. Ter is a way tp calculate the month and year d tyre was produced. How ar??

As you can see in the picture, at the "Date Code" indicates "2703". How you decipher that is the "27" represents the week and the "03" represents the year in which the was manufactured in. It is usually in an oblong marking on the tyre.

wah bro... i didnt know this kind of diagram exist, nyway thanks for sharing!

[Fazli]

Well, no prob. Its good to be an informed consumer so you don't get chopped...

I'm using the new M5 Interact installed at unique for $320 with balancing, i can say that its really a good sticky tyres!!!

[DeRider84]

Went to Unique (Toh Guan) as well to get tyres on Saturday... Was at a fix whether to choose between Metzelder M5 or Pirelli Angel ST... In the end chose Pirelli as it can last alot longer than M5... Got it for $310... Also changed handlebars!

Have to say, these few days the roads are super wet due to rain but still Angel handled them like a pro...

[limkim]

i am changing my tyres next week. Not sure what to change.

 

Recent reviews are pointing toward M5 and Angel.

I looked at the poll on this thread, and have read some reviews and notice that a lot of people like the Bridgestone BT-090. I am debating between this tire and the BT-92. I haven't noticed anyone on here that has said anything about this tire. Does anyone have any experience with it?

 

It looks like a trade off between softness and more grip (BT-090) and a longer mileage tire and better wet grip (BT-92). I would look at the Michelins and other tires, but Bridgestone seems to make the best tire in a 140/70-17 size.

I'm still using the stock Dunlop Sportmax D204... Does anyone using the same? Do you guys find it abit kuku bird during raining time... nearly buang a few times... lucky riding very slow and manage to control...

[phatmonsta]

stock dunlop one for revo jialat ar.. dry rd oso can skid on hard braking... change to M5.. very nice...good grip...

[MSDS]

I see... at first I tot it's the dunlop sportmax Q2 which have good review... after a few incident go double check it's D204 lah... Although safety is very important, but I still trying to finish this funny fellow before changing to M5 leh... change now beri wasted, still got so many life...
