New tyres tomorrow!!!

[xa-mont]

Well i have booked in for some new tyres tomorrow.

I have opted to go for some fairly sticky ones, because i figure it's coming up to summer, so i will be doing more weekend riding and for the price i figure i should er on the side of stickiness.

So i am getting a power pure on the front and pilot power 2ct on the back (no pilot pure 160's in aus yet) for a little under $500

[Mishdog20]

Those 2ct's are an awesome tyre mate, got about 8 thou out of the last one, and it was mainly used for hard riding through the mountains. Hard as shit in the middle for highway riding and super stick for the corners. I was impressed with mine. Apparently the Pure"s are meant to be grouse too.

2ct's are OK. I have them on one of mine.
Shame your not up here,
Mick's doing Dunlop GPRa11's $400.00 a set
(and I think that's fitted and balanced)

im running gpra11's on my gsxr tony and they are fucking unreal best tyre i have used by far

[Tony Nitrous]

Good to hear that. Not tried them yet.
Im due another set soon, I often am...:D
Hard to walk past them at $400 a pair.
I pay more than that for Qualifiers and Powers.

yeah i know... i was tempted to buy them, have shipped down then fittted, but it would end up costing me about the same.

I had the GPRA11's on my track bike and they are brilliant. Really quick to warm up and are sooo grippy :)

yeah i know, but then i would need to get someone to fit them. and i would feel like a cheap cunt asking a tyre place to fit tyres i got elsewhere.

hmm ive got black ones !!

I got the pures front and back have done about 4k on them probably another 1 left. The sides don't last very long mine are chopped to the shithouse

[TurboKat]

I just went past Bob Jane M/C tyres up the top of town & there was a black SV with a USD front end <s>all smashed up & lying on its side</s> out the front... coincidence ?

[xa-mont]

ahh the crazy things you see in Melbourne eh :P

Yeah that would be mine... did it look like it had new tyres on it yet? he said he would be about an hour and half and that was at 9.

[xa-mont]

just picked it up and got out of there for $480. decent service, only rang last night to book in for this morning.

These tyres already feel better than the other crap that i had. The feel so much more ready to lean in to turns. it has made the bike feel 20kg lighter! (this is just from the trip from the tyre joint to work... so 1km :P) Ihope to get out somewhere this weekend if weather permits and have a bit of a play with em.

who would have thought tyres were this interesting... i have had 2 people from work come in and compliment me on my new tyres :P
