Btw do u guys know anything about bloated tyres? actually my front tyre is bloated(the mechanic told me). after my session in PG, i sense tat my front handling was abit weird. so i went to check with tis mechanic, he checked my tyre bearings and the rims, nothink was wrong... till he spin the wheel and show me. i saw the tyre shape abit funny... any of u know anytink bout tis? juz got my m3 on march tis year... and tats the reason y also im askin u guys for tyres suggestions.. i guess got to change tyres already but i just used arnd 6 mths only...

if you BT090 gets heat up very fast, u may need to check whether are u using "R" or "ZR" speed rating tyres.

 

so far all the bridgestone tyres i have tested on my S4, BT090 or BT003, are with "R" or "H" speed rating (e.g. F120/60R17M/C 55H and R160/60R17M/C 69H). therefore unable to last long under high heat temperature due to a lower heat tolerance of the tyres.

 

Dunlops Alpha 10, 11, 12s most of which i have seen and tested are with "ZR" or "W" speed ratings (F120/60ZR17M/C **W and R160/60ZR17M/C **W). tat's the reason these tyres heats up slower and is able to retain the stick for a longer period of time due to higher heat tolerance, rather than a "R" speed ratings Bridgestone BT090 and BT003 with a not so high heat tolerance.

 

perhapse a more equal test is to have 2 sets of tyres with similiar speed ratings and test it out on track under similar conditions by the same rider.

u r half right about the rating.... but the actual rating is meant for the top speed the tyre can turn/endure (correct me if i'm wrong)

and with the different rating 400cc bike r most suited for H rating tyre, cause they are lighter compare to the higher rating tyre....

for more clearer view.... find a bike shop that own a H & R rating tyre and do a comparison... how? look at the inner tyre on how the belting r diff(again correct me if i'm wrong again)....
