Tires

[Ant]

It's the street...who cares. I'd rock knobbies for the right price.

like ant said, there all basically the same, I'm not mladin so i dont need cutting edge performance because i will be no where near pushing the tire to its limits. that why i rock the 200. i know a 180 or 190 handle a little better, but i just like the big fat tire, and i ride it well enough to compensate for the width.

for the track i was alittle more picky, but for the street i would just get the cheapest one. there all so close in performance you wont notice the difference.

I love how tires are " cutting edge " one season, but the next considered obsolete, because a newer model comes out.... please.. they were good enough last year, there good enough this year. so unless your going to legun seca or something and plan on riding balls out, just get the cheapest.

Well the tires came in monday and thanks to IrocRob. i got them on..
finanly had a chance to take the biek out for a spin last night and altho it was aonly abotu 10 to 15 miles.. all i have ot say is WOW.. what diff do tires make.. the bike turns easier and just over lal handles better than the stock dunlops i had on there..
i honeslty didnt think it was going to make that much diff..

I bought 2 sets of M1 in the fall for $185 for each set. I put one set on my trackbike (a 600) and did 5 days with them. I thought they did just fine.

the M-3's are a better tire. for $185 though, what the heck...

You're welcome, and thanks for making the trip. It's quite a bit
longer than I expected anyone to travel for a tire change.

New tires always feel great, don't they?

actually took me 45 minutes to get back.. and i stopped for coffee not to long at all especially if you just ride out there on the bike..

besides even if you add time+gas+toll it is still less than going to a stealership in NYC and paying 75 a tire. so its a win win.. i win youwin we all win..

A 200 you damn poser you should turn in your TL is it a tight fit with those. I had heard that there problems with those fitting in the swingarm.
