Previously when i use the M3 I had like 5mm left of chicken strip didn't manage finished it before i change over to Z8 and as for Z8 manage to utilize all of it.

 

Looking at my tire wear on the Z8, almost no hot or cold tears on both of front and back

 

I might look into Bridgestone Bt023 once this Z8 wears out. Have you tired them HaiR1?

 

 

 

Nah..

 

Still early to get my tyre change..

 

Currently only 5000km done on my 3rd set of M5

i am on Shinko. I feel its better than Diablo I used last time. the entry level Diablo. BT090 also gave me a slip last time on the wet zebra crossing lines..

Frankly, I haven't heard anyone that used Shinko and reviewed that is bad. I myself have not used Shinko but would like to try soon.

 

After all, a rumor has it that Shinko has purchased the technology, molds, rubber compund chemistry, etc. from Yokohama when they ceased production of motorcycle tires.

hi guys, need your feedback. some shops are having promo for Michelin Pilot Power tires and I intend to change tires since my bike is on stock Dunlop tires.

How are the tires in terms of mileage and grip in wet conditions? Or is another $100 or so more worth it on tires like M5 or PR3 compared to the Pilot Powers...? Thanks!

Ya lor, the Pilot Power promo very attractive lol.

[rxgn]

unique promo now

 

$199 promo, m3 and pilot power..

 

which one can last longer in terms of mileage?

[foccacia]

i forgot mine is M3 or M5, what is the recommended tire pressure for these 2?

[Baal]

Does VTEC / Revo have 5 inch wide rear rim ?

 

If so, will it fit a 140/70 rear with no issues? I understand that the front 3.5 inch wide rim has no issue for 110/70.

tbh i dk how to check the tyre.

Lol. No problem. There always a starting point somewhere. Look into the grooves on your tires. There should be horizontal bars across them. On a new tire they should be quite deep in the tire groove. On a worn one, the bars are almost level with the actual tire surface. If they're flush with the tire surface, it's time to spend money liao..

[jianism]

anyone used or using Maxxis Promaxx tyres? any reviews or opinion?

 

just changed it due to unforeseen circumstances.. =x

[Shinobi]

It's usually when they pry the bead out using steel bars. Good practice is to put some thick plastics to lever the steel bar against the rim instead of levering against the actual rim itself.
