tire

Stock rim. Mainly highway riding, so looking more for longevity than performance. What brand and model do you recommend.

Removed the rear tire following directions here(very easy). Attempted to use zip ties to remove the tire and failed miserably. Started removing the tire using pry bar and screw drivers using cut hose to protect rims. Got one side off but now I stuck. What is the best way to get the last side of...

Hi Guys, Has anyone have issues with these TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on their Chrysler or Dodge cars / trucks / minivans? For 2 weeks, I'm seeing one of my tires going low. I went to check the pressure and noticed the valve stem has broken. Examining it more closely, I see that...

Shit...I looked at my tires today and they have HUGE cracks in them !! The tread is 100% ,but they have split badly. Front-Dunlop Qualifier 110/90 18 rear-Avon venom-x 150/90b15 74v The bike handled fantastic at high speeds and don't wanna jinks it by putting something on that wobbles. I haven't...

Guys, I see I'm riding my Max, way more that my buddies are riding their other bikes.. I've gotten 2.5 riding seasons out of my tires and its about time to replace, at least the rear tire anyways. The front has about 3mm of tread depth left. The rear is about bald at the center. My friend rear...

Front tire is slowly leaking around the bead. I was wondering if certain years have this problem? Since, mine is a 98 and has the black rims. Is this only happiness with the black rims? It's a new front tire. It has 1000 to 1500 miles. After reading in the wheels/tires section. It seems like...

I just replaced the rear tire. But of course before removing the old tire, it's best to have some fun!

I tried searching for topics on a good rear tire (mine is wearing thin on the center only - not sure why :biglaugh:). The search function does not work well for me. Anyway, I have a drag race event in a couple weeks and needed to get it replaced. I made the decision today to purchase a Metzeler...

I'm mounting my new 170/80/15 rear tire on Tuesday and was looking at fire-medics write up on the washer swap that I keep hearing about. Hopefully, my Commander II won't need it but is it better to just go ahead and do it or wait and see if it's needed? It seems that putting the washer inside...

I've been searching for a shop that doesn't charge and arm and a leg for this service. Bay4 motorsports in Tewksbury MA was by far the highest. Was quoted 1 1/2 hours at $78 an hour for each. Several others ranged from $54-$90 each. I called Naults Windham Honda in southern NH and was told $35...

I found this great website. You just type in two different sized tires and it gives you the size and speed differences of the two. I found it a great help and I hope some of you do too. Matt http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-calculator/

Mounted a new rear tire & just can not get the splines in the wheel to mesh with the final drive unit Any hints

I'm currently running a 180/55-18 Venom R on the back with the avon storm 2 110/80-18 on the front. I'm looking for other options. So....do I have to stay with the same company front and rear.....or can I mix and match companies front and rear (like Shinko and dunlops), as long as you stay...

Hey fellas, I searched this extensively before posting and I read that a 170/ 80/15 Shinko seems to be the rear tire of choice but I have two questions; First, ALL the vendors on the web say this is NOT compatible with my 07 Gen 1 and Two, why the change from 80 to 90 in the aspect ratio of the...

Hey guys was hoping for some advice. Just called the local yamaha dealer and they want $150 to mount and balance 2 tires if brought in off the bike. Anyone know of a place on the east coast of MA or southern NH that can save me some $. Thanks for any replys. Ride hard, stay upright!!

I think i've decided to get a shinko 230 rear 170 size tire from what i've read about them. It's a cheap tire that is fairly grippy and doesn't last as long as some others. I want a front that I can push a little harder than the average guy in the corners. I thought about running a 150 rear for...

I have Dunlop's on my 1994 and plan on replacing them with Shinko's shortly. While I can find great deals online for the tires it seems that getting them mounted and balances will cost a good bit since I'm not getting the tires from a dealer. Just wondering what everybody else does concerning...

I was hoping someone could give me some tire advice. I need new rubber front and back. I know a lot has been posted on tires but I was looking for a specific brand and model suggestion. This will be my first time buying tires for my 1995 Max. I have read lots of good things about Shinko's...

I've got an '03 with an 18x5.5" rear with a Bridgestone 180/55 sport-touring radial, and an almost-matching Bridgestone 110/80 front radial. While many will say that a 110/80 works fine on the stock 18x2.15 front wheel, the fact is that a 110/80 radial is designed for at least a 3" wheel and...
