Michellin is a generally a good brand, even with their tires made in thailand, it will be still good. Its one of the brands that i have seen a 100/80 to be fitted into cub's 17inch rims.

 

Place that are selling are Unique Motorsports and Bikeworkz to my knowledge.

Price: $130 a pair include installation.

Mileage? normally it lasts about 5-6 months if you travel about 2000k -3000k mileage a month.

ooh,ok th. but 100/80 u mean is the size ah, like sp kr using 110 right? then use 100 on cub not too big meh?..

[Refugee]

100/80 tyres are really huge for cubs...

 

i've never scruntunised cubs OTR before for the 10mm difference lah.. but its not common to sport 100mm rears.

[thrasher]

100/80? it can fit lah, i mean in philippines, they favor using fat tyres, compared to us here who like me prefer skinny tires. all in all, fitting a 100/80 tyre also depends how wide your rims ar. hahaha

[aboden]

[bustop]

icic,that means mus change wider rims inorder to fit the 100 tyres ah

Thats true, but i guess it will affect your top speed and pick up.

Rims is stock 17inch.!

[Refugee]

of course rim is 17inch diameter lah....

 

we're talking about width... stock SHOULD be 1.2 and 1.4...

 

those 8-spoke rims SHOULD be 1.4 and 1.6...

 

i believe only those can fit 100mm tyres...

[Ashcroftx]

i asked about that too, it can be fitted into stock rims too.

why not u just spend $5 for spraying your rims.. all you need is a spray can, masking tape and some sand paper... our fellow forumer, cool_bikers can help u on this.. he's usually active in 125z thread.. this sunday we're having a meetup to do our bikes... u may join us if u want to.. cheers!

 

 

how to do tat?

[theFamilyguy]

Hi all,

 

do tubeless tyres need to be pumped air regularly? or is it ok to not pump air unless we "feel" the tyre to be soft/pancit? If air needs to be pumped in, how regularly should it be done i.e. weekly etc?

 

Thanks.

[thrasher]

hey amba, you could try using irc eagle grip. theres a shop at desker road. its to the right. i can't remember the name of the shop. but yeah. its there alright. and its goood.

[thrasher]

regarding how regular u check ur tyre pressure, i do it every 2 days. once i feel its slightly pancit, go pump ah.

[KupSter]

Hi, I had a doubt abt my tires. Both my front and rear tires often get deflated a bit a few days after I pump air to it and pump till it very hard. Normally, the tires will loses the pressure and cannot feel the hardness after a week. Wat's the cause of this and the tires i using are tubeless for sport rims. My front tire is 6 mths old and rear is 1 yr old....both looks still in good condition.Thanks

[thrasher]

u must be using dunlop tt900? hard compound. thats quite long for u to use tyres? i suggest a change?, cos i get that too. my front tyre using almost a year, changing very soon. cos it looks okay. but it may be uneven.

Ya, my front tyre is tt900 and rear is irc gold series. So which type of tyres u recommend for front and rear? I saw a few bikes on the road the tyres which look quite thin unlike mine so thick. Is that gd as well? thanks

[thrasher]

thin, okay ah u'll feel slightly lighter, better pickup... but u can forget abt diving at corners. can... but u gotta have the balls to do it. heh. i'd recommend battlax or tt900. stick to same tyres for front and back.
