Tyres - Which tyre is better?

[Kwijibo]

the best place to look for sotong tyres is just J.B ... Can try to look for IRC also cos they produce tyres for cubs .... The other day is saw IRC sized at 60/100 or something ... damn small

[toot7]

IRC is a brand for tyres rite.

correct me if i am wrong but their tyres are not so good on wet roads rite

[Kwijibo]

Yup , its a thai tyre company. But if you're serious on tyres and good contact with the roads when its wet, you wouldn't go for sotong in the first place.

[bustop]

sambal sotong,fried sotong,bbq sotong but no tyre sotong!

[Kwijibo]

hahaha ! But we have to respect people's preference. After all, its their bikes and money. But i was really intrigued by the fact that some 2b sportsbike owners like 'sotong' tyres... While the owners of r1s and 999s are looking to upsize their tyres as much as possible . Mysteries of man ...

bridgestone battlax bt39 ss 80/90 both, 80/90 - 90/80 or 90/90 both

 

manf date 2008 BEST !!! easy to warm up/good for wet road. the cutting really drain the water out. u can see it when u r rding in the rain. the amount the water splashing out. mine last ard 15k km. if u alway ride very fast, wearing is faster.

 

dunlop t900 thai. (dont play corner)

 

water splashing very littie. not so easy to warm up.

my fren fall in carpark, those cement surface while turning. very slowing riding with both leg preparing to reach the floor. he know he might fall. n really fall.

Guys, changed Dunlop tires(front: 80/80, rear: 90/80) at 'kok seng' bapok lane. About a week liao, when cornering at about 50km/h, feels da bike is wobbling. Even worse when got pillion. Before changed was using Pirelli City Demon, don have dis problem. Anyone has any solutions to fix dis problem?

[Kwijibo]

May i know the size of your rims ? I'd recommend you take your bike to a bike shop, pronto ... Or maybe the tyre pressure too low ...

[toot7]

is to possible to put front tyre bigger den the back one.

if ya what is the advangtes and disadvanteges

[MysticMoon]

ans : NO .

 

only small front big rear

 

cos ur front is leading the way. if it too big the rear cant follow up. LOL

 

those want to play corner dont be cheap skate n use tt900 thai LOL

use bt39ss

[xiaobanz]

Haha i think use bt39 better.. From my experience, it's much sticky..

[SweetChild]

however, for those who really like using dunlop for watever reason, u guys cn use tt900gp made in japan for the rear (90/80-17) and a tt900 (80/90-17) from thai,since the japan ones dn manufacture smaller ones.

im trying it nw for about 2mths ady, i can say this combination matches the bt39. can corner steadily and grips well.

it is possible for you to put a bigger tyre in front then the rear one. It would just translate to shoddy turning / decreased response from the steering, and not really optimum traction. The main reason why you have a bigger back tyre is because you want a bigger contact area which translates to GRIP ! cheers ...

[Kwijibo]

Haha i think use bt39 better.. From my experience, it's much sticky..

 

haha .. Of course, i myself have been using the bt39 since the start and i think it is the best. Some people just think that the Dunlop tt900 Gp is just as good if not, even better ...
