tires

Hello, I bought a new 2019 CBR650R last year equipped with a new Battlax s22 front tire. I plan on changing the rear one next season since it is becoming rectangular, and it sliped on me a couple of times during low-speed turns. I'm not an aggressive rider so I was planning on buying the...

Pretty much every tire I've seen that is good for cold temp has wet performance in mind but I couldn't care less about wet grip since I don't ride in rain and winter is dry as hell here. Tread pattern for dry surface and compound for cold temp is really what I need. Any recommendation? Does such...

Sent the bike in for a tire change and to do the 12800km maintenance at the same time, he calls me because he had trouble balancing the rear wheel and discovered that a bearing was grinding. I did notice that my chain was a little loose, but nothing else out of the ordinary as i was riding it to...

Hi, nobody seem to talk about the difference between 180/60 and 180/55 (stock size), may be I missed out in this forum. Now, I am on Pirelli Supercorsa SP2 (Front & Rear) V4 - 180/60 for 3 months and quite a number of track days. Note that the V4 is super awesome on a very hot track day in...

Hi all, I haven't found a common pattern in the search, and the query that I am sharing might sound incredibly dumb, but this is my first bike with 180 at the rear and the first time I use such bike in a relatively cold country (South of England). I pumped my tyres a month ago as per manual...

Can't see a thread on this, apologies if I have missed an existing thread. I currently have a set of Road 5's and a set of Road 6's on order, should be arriving Friday. I am looking at a bit of a new Project hopefully this weekend, I am going to have a crack at changing my tyres myself. I have...

Hi All, I have a simple question. Will changing my tire brand affect my seat height? Are all tire brand sizes standard? Like If my rear tire was 180/55 -17, and it was a dunlop brand, would it be changing to metzeler affect my seat height or would all be the same? I have this feeling that...

Hey there just bought my first bike, 2020 cbr650r second hand. Bike needs new shoes so I would like to know what tires are you recommending for this type of bike with type of ride street daily so tire needs to last longer but also just enough to ride fast and leaning like a menace. Also, fuel...

My the has a mark right round the middle I can't make sense of it what could have caused this. There is a little depth to it ie you can feel it is you run a finger across it... You can see it as the faint line slightly to the left of the middle read on the picture

Hi there Hope everyone ok , thinking of putting on a fat rear tyre on my Honda , it’s got the standard on it since factory , Questions is how wide and what can I get on !? It’s stock apart from the exhaust , looking to make it a bit meaner from the rear ? Thanks Luke

anyone of you folks tried to put wider tyre on the back, instead of factory recommended 180? i would like to install 190 or 200, so the bike look "solid" from behind? :) will it decrease performance or handling? i will be using bike for commuting - no track riding or racing- just normal everyday...

Just over 5800 miles. Lots of highway, no track days. Noticed when I got to work this morning, down to the wear bars! 😡 I suppose they are shite anyway… time to upgrade.

So I'm up for a new set of tyres and called my dealership to inform what they had in stock and what they could order. Unfortunately, their stock was pretty limited and they said they were having trouble getting resupplied. My bike is currently running Bridgestone BT023 tyres, and I wanted to...

I got new Michelin Road 5s installed on my bike this year. The recommended tire pressure in the Honda manual ( and on the bike ) states 36 psi front and 42 rear. The tire manufacturer states 42 in the back is the MAXIMUM allowable pressure. I was wondering if I should always maintain the Honda...

I got new tires on my bike, put on by the dealer. My car rims always need re-torquing after tire change and 100km of driving....does the same apply for a motorcycle ?

Struggling to find a tyre inflator to fit under my cbr650r 2021 rear seat. Any recommendations would be appreciated Thank you

I've just ordered a tyre repair kit but need to get a tyre inflator. What do you carry on your bike please e.g. Pump, electric inflator or those little c02 cylinders? Thank you

Will show y'all how to change tires. Is easier than you think...

Hey folks, I just ordered a pair of Metzeler Sportec M9's for my '18 CB650. These will be the first new set of tires on the bike. Have any of you tried running these tires? -and what did you think about them? I'd really appreaciate you all's input. I'll be back to update this thread and share...

Hey guys I recently felt while taking a corner that my rear wheel started to lose grip while taking a corner. The feeling even gets worse when it the road is slippery. It only starts when i lean to a far enough point. I currently have the michelin pilot power 2ct tires on the bike. Did anyone...
