tires

I have CycleOneOff rims from fzr1000 17" rims. I had shinko on them installed but now looking for some better tires as my life depends on them. Did anyone had them on vmax? what are your opinions? looking at 180/55 and 120/70 thx Vitek

Alright. I *might* have a little bit of money left over. Not nearly as much as I wanted, I was planning on getting the rear foot shifters from Morely, or his jet kit. Sadly, money flys when you actually have it and now there is only a little bit left. One thing that I do think is function...

Well lately a discussion of rolling burnouts has been a topic between a few of us. Seeing some peoplebe able to roll one out and others not ( myself included ) I watched what they were doing. My first thought was tires. I ve had my Shinko on for almost 4500 miles now. Its sticky, plenty...

How many of you use beads instead of wheel weights. I am going to use airsoft bb's in mine. Not paying the big dollars for the "specific" beads. Guys around me use them in off road big 4x4 trucks all the time. 10 second diesels etc. So I just wondered on the bike, how many grams or...

Hey guys I picked up a gen 2 finally !!!!!! Love it ow I have the red 85 and a red 2010 guy needed to get out from under the loan i picked it up for 13,400... With 4500 miles on it .. But the only thing that it needs are tires and I'm not sure what to put on it . I was looking at the stock...

I had a guy come buy today on a Triumph Rocket that said his bike did not feel quite right. It only took about 2 seconds to figure out the problem. I dont want to see any one crashing from simply not checking there tires. This is the tire I took off the rocket today.

So what do you experts think of going with Avons... am26 110/90v 18 front and am26 160/80v 15 rear?... they look awesome... I need tires bad... :ummm:

are the shinko's as good as the Exedras from what I can find there is $40 difference on a set shinko-230 series versus the bridgestone Exedra G525 AND G526 combo:confused2:

I know they are new, but has anyone mounted these new Michelin Commander II tires. They look like the best competition for Metzeler 880s. I like how hard the Metzelers are but they just don't get great traction (back tire). I can roast them in third. The michelins look good too and have the 170...

Can you imagine these on a Vmax ? :ummm: WOW ! Sean, let us know when we can order these from you !! :rofl_200: Bridgestone Developing 'Airless' Puncture-Proof Tire By Anthony Ingram Published December 09, 2011 High Gear Media Bridgestone Although it'd be unfair to say that tires are...

Guy is selling a set of Shinko touring from what i read this morning they sound like a pretty good tire for the MAX is this right, seriously thinking of buying them any advice would be great thanks:punk:

Hi All, Finally getting new rubber for my 04' stock rear wheel. Looking at the Metzeler's but confused by the ratings. The OEM's have a V rating. When I look at the big selling sites, I see the Metzeler 880 170/80/15 have an H or HB rating? Can I use these? Not sure what the HB rating...

I'm going to need tires pretty soon and I priced the replacement Metzlers and they were let's say...on the high side....$179 for the rear, plus tax of course. Anyone here running the Skinkos.......or I might ask, whats a good replacement tire brand that is of good quality but does not require...

Anybody see the price of tires lately?:bang head: Bought my last rear tire in 4/09 for $130 bucks.Look at the price now in So.Cal.:damn angry:

Hello guys, im in need for a new set of tires for my max, it has the stock wheels and tires its an 03. Was looking for the best all around tires for handling and tire life. Also looking for the best place to buy from. Thanks guys looking forward to your feedback...

I was giving Mr. Max the once over before my ride into work this morning, and I notice just how much I've work that OEM Dunlop K525 in the 1500 miles I've put on the bike since buying it this winter. When I bought it, I had a decent amount of depth to that center groove. At this point, it just...

Like some of you, I've used the paint pens to whiten the lettering on your tires. Its called Hot tires from Duplicolor. Its works ok, but I found a new paint pen that goes on way better and far less messier. I found it at Fastenal of all places, I was there for bolts and saw black and yellow on...
