Supporting Member betoney Posted July 10, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted July 10, 2020 @Dodgy Knees - I use Maxxis tires on my dirt bike, I had no idea that they made street tires. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Never used them before, was thinking PR 4/5. Looking last night and saw them on ebay, from a bike shop. I normally pay that for a front, so for the pair it a very good price. 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted July 10, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 10, 2020 Original version of RS2 rear; not new crappy version. Over 9,200 miles, half of them very high speed getting to and from the twisty bits around here. Shame the shoulders still have a lot. A week ago Thursday it was 95 and I really cooked it on the return leg. Front is RS3 starting to cup and a few sipes are wiped so about time for it too. Going with the Bridgestone T31 on the FJ and S22 on the VTR simultaneously. Have to dig out and set up my NoMar... I've tried the RS3 F&R twice, the Roadtec 01 once, the PR4 on my VTR but I went for least costly this time. $170 a pair shipped after debit card rebate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had to replace a tire in Kalispel, MT and it was a Metzler. Metzler tires are made by Pirelli. Here is my last Angel ST at 5300 miles: Never had that problem with Dunlops, Bridstones, Avons, or Michelins. I always like the performance of the Angel's and the Metzlers, just dislike the quickness they disappears when about 1mm near the wear bars. The Pierelli Angel GT ang GT2 are way better than the ST were. ST were good tyres with pretty ordinary mileage, I think they were a single compound from memory. The GT's will get you twice as far between changes and have great grip in the dry and wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
