2 Wheel Transport...

Went for a ride yesterday and stumbled on this driveway. Not one to take photos normally but couldn't pass it up

[senna_T]

Any riders out there have a suggestion on front tyres for the bike? I'm due for a new one and I have no experience with different brands

[jacobmitchell92]

On my R1 I'm using a Michelin pilot road 3 awesome dry and real good wet traction

I have michelin pilot road tyres on my bike aswell and their great for wear and grip but can be a bit slippery when cold others you could try are dunlop 404, pirelli angel gt, pirelli mt66, dunlop q2, michelin commander 2, bridgestone exedra max. all good tyres. Only advice I will give is make sure you get a matching set front to back. If you havnt bought motorcycle road tyres before your in for a nasty surprise on the cost. Yoy wont get much change out of 550 for the pair of the michelin pilots. Cheers.

I like these Pat, possibly not for your application though.

I go with the same rear and front as much as possible.

If it's just the front you need to replace then use the same as your rear (unless they're a dodgy brand/model)

Wait to look at changing them both until the rear is due and do both at once.

It also depends on how you ride, If you do a lot of hwy driving don't get a soft compound as you'll just get flat spots

Thanks for the reply guys

John, helpful as always! Lol

Yes, it's only the front that needs replacing, the rear has heaps on it still.

The bike has (and is originally fitted with) Bridgestone Battlax. Any comments on them?

Also, although it is a cruiser, I've been scraping pegs a little lately and I don't mind that at all...

[ms700]

sooo your rear is fine but your front is worn out?

hmmm there's only one way to fix that
