which type of tire is sticky during dry and wet surface but low wear rate? any recommendation?

currently using pirelli, feel unsafe during cornering..

 

Bro use M5. Both wet and dry surface very good. Wear rate i not sure yet as i travel only 10km everyday. Heehe..

pilot road 2 gets my vote.

I would say get a alignment done up....then as u ride the wear will smoothen itself up..... Anyone who know better please do comment:)

 

Bro e suspension can be adjusted to soft or hard?? I use to hav one prob almost similar to u. Got a very small bump on my front tyre thus causing e bumpiness but it's ok after I change a new tyre l

Bro, serious ah? I wanna try using 160 leh. 140 feels so small. haha

 

Ermm, for ver S the max rear size is 150 try not goint beyond that.. The normal is 110/140 but i'm already using oversize 120/150 for my verS and has been using it for 2.5yrs.

 

160 tires may rub against the side of the bike which may result in sudden burst or uneven wear of the rear tires..

i think its possible. i seen tyre that seem to be able to go on for many many thousands of km but thread still very deep. so if you know you have already used the tyre for a long time and the grip isnt good then change it.

[plasticprison]

yup. what's your tyre's manufacture date?

initial feeling is good......just need to let it pass the intial "new" stage before the true potential is known. I did a check with other shop....price quoted was around $270 upwards......Even my friend thought i was joking when i told him i got it at $209.

You can check the manufacture date on the side of your tires.
