tires

Yesterday I installed a new front and rear Dunlop Sportmax GPA. I have heard and read often that these tires are not suitable for street riding or canyon carving as they will not heat up and get sticky. Well it was 55 degrees here yesterday and I rode a few miles kinda breaking them in and then...

I'm torn between what tire size to get that will maximize the life of the tire. I live in Florida so everything is pretty much straight up riding so having the taller profile of the /55 doesn't really make a difference in riding since there are no real turns. But will it last longer with...

What's up Kawi-peeps??? Just wondering what others are running as far as tires. Gotta get new tires, so I was wondering if anyone has any input on what new styles to run. Right now I am running the Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's. They have been replaced with the Rossa and don't much about them. I...

do you set your tire pressure to what is on the sidewall

which do you like better

I use my zx10r as a street bike - I don't think I'm going to take her to the track. I need new road tires. A really knowledgeable buddy of mine suggested that I get the Bridgestone BT-003 RS because they have a harder center for the street along with a softer edge for good grip on a lean. Are...

Hey guys, I'm sorry to put this in here but i've looked all over for some info on these tires and can honestly say i hadn't found shit on these except for the "street" model so here i am.......... i have 2 bridgestone rear tires a BT-003R Type2 and a BT-003R Type 2 and just wanted to ask if...

Michelin Pilot Rain Tires in Execellent Shape! Used in two sprint races only at Carolina Motorsports Park. 12 Laps Total. 120/180. Most Track day organizations don't give your money back if it rains. Why not throw a set in your trailer, these tires offer excellent grip in the rain and can be...

I have a set of used dunlop sportmax gp DOT race tires that I used for practice at the Championship Cup Series race at VIR last Sept. The sizes are 120/70/17 and 190/60/17. These would be great for the street or even a track day. The front has about 60% of the tread left and the rear has about...

I just bought a pair of Mich PR2s and the bike shop mounted and balanced the tires. When I got home I was checking the tire pressure when I noticed that the bike shop used duct tape to secure the weights on the front and rear wheels..... wth??? Is that normal?? are there any other methods for...

I am selling the Bridgestone Bt016 OEM tires(120/70 & 190/55) off of my 08 zx10r. I broke the bike in on these tires on the street 800 mi. Then replaced with stickier rubber. They have 75%-80% tread left with no holes plugs or defects. 135 shipped for the set. I also have some used race slicks...

Was wondering if any suspension experts could "read" my tires and tell me if anything stands out that I may need to adjust before the next track day.

I have a little over 1000 miles on my set of Bridgestone BT-016 tires and figured you guys might wanna hear my impressions. I finally switched after about 17,000 miles on ContiSports, so they are my immediate comparison. Just to clarify, this is a review of the off the shelf BT-016, not the...

Okay. I was at the local motorcycle shop having my PDC III's mounted and was looking through the "dealer" book. Not sure what the book is called, but it's the big one that the dealers use when looking up products and pricing. We started comparing the two different tires. The 2 CT's had a...
