tire

Just bought a set of metzeler sportec m5 has any one used these hopefully I didn't make a bad choice there are so many tires out there

Any thoughts or opinions on the best tire for the tiller? I'm personally looking for one that lasts a little while and gets fairly sticky in the mountains. ( Can't be stupid anymore, got a kid on the way.) If it makes any difference to things I don't know about with tire slections, I'm 6'6"...

:)hello, i'm just wondering if anyone out has put 200/50 rear tire on thier 1000R, if so how did it workout?

This is probably straight forward. I've had my TL for 4 months and didn't have any issues with flat tires. A few weeks ago my I had a flat. I got the tire replaced and yesterday I noticed the tire was flat again. I filled the tire back up with air and heard it hissing from between where the...

Well its the end of riding season here. The boss man tells me to get rid of all the Pirelli D-Rosso's we have in stock. I got eight sets of 120's and 190's for the price of $240.00 a set. Thats $145.00 for the rear, $95.00 for the front and if you run a 180 that will be $115.00. Thats cheaper...

As I have been working on this TL-R, the owner has expresed interest in the Wide tire - extented swing arm mod. I personally like the bike as it is proformance and handleing wise, but whats out there for the 01 TL?

Ok so I just got my TLR and just had Battlax 016 (190/50zr17) put on and picked up a screw and have to buy another tire. Any sugguestions? What is the best all around rear tire for the TLR? I may hit the dragon a few times but other than that just street use.

Spent last thurs at Big Willow, MotorcycleUSA.com was doing a pirelli tire test so we(Super Street Bike crew) decided to come along and ride the open track!! There were only 7 of us there!!! These Supercorsa's were brand new when i got there i have a video, i'll post it in a bit!

Hi all. This is Bikepilot's wife. He is currently riding in NV on his way to San Diego. He needs a new rear tire for the Bandit 1250. He asked me to post to see if any of y'all know of a good dealership or tire place near San Francisco. He is without internet access right now, but he...

will any other model suzukis fit the same rear tire hugger as my 97 tillis i cant find anyone making one for the tls

Just bought a 2003 TL1000R and have some questions. The tires on the bike are new shinko's. When I drove the bike i noticed how dificult the turn in was. Once in the corner the bike tracked good after a little suspension set up, however the heavy slow turn in is still there. The size of the rear...

So i just replaced the tire myself on my tl for the first time and I'm just curious as to the feelings i'm getting in my 'butt dyno'. I went for dunlop roadsmart sport tires (doing a lot of long distance riding this summer) and it feels 'rougher' than my older more 'high performance' tires. I...

I have a 98 tlr I bought new in 98 and love it its yellow and a little black& silver(stock paint job). Knock on wood no real strand you troubles, the headlight acted up once. Replaced the week wires in the harness plug and all is well. I am looking for any help finding yellow tires . I have a...

I have ordered a new rear tire and Team Powersports wants $83 if I bring the tire and the bike. If I just bring the tire off the bike, it's $41... How hard is it to remove and reinstall/adjust the rear tire? By the way it's a Bridgestone BT56 OEM Replacement Rear Tire... I hope it's a good...

Well I called around and got pricing on Tire mounting and balancing. A local Yamaha/Polaris dealer wanted $32 a wheel and they had to make an appointment to get in. Kawasaki Dealer 40 mins. away wanted $40 a wheel.:banghead Sooo, I decided to call the loacal HD dealer. WTF! We can mount and...

suspention adjusted yesterday and new tires. rode around the block and couldn"t stop screeming. unbelelievable how well this bike feels now, feels 50lbs lighter. turn in is 1000% better before cornering was abslutely scarry, and a lane change was even a chore. I have to get back to u on thr tire...

A recent "bad luck" post prompts me to put up this poll. If a tire on your TLR/TLS is flat due to a puncture, would you plug it? Personally, I would never consider plugging a bike tire... it's a bike not a car, and your tires are your lifeline.

Guys...bought this with my tank. I coulnt pass it up as its damn nice but I dont need it. Dont know what its worth so give me a shout with price ideas or if you are interested....Oh its for a TLR.And i thought thta I would pass this along. This same guy has a primered nose fairing(looks to be...

Ya'll know what a penny pinching git I am, I run that rubber until, well until it shouldn't be run... got my new Corsa Diablo III on wednesday... figured I'd put it on this weekend. well I got scared yesterday after the 3rd person who looked at my bike told me the rear tire looked a little...

Any running a 200/50R-17 rear tire? It looks like it could make contact with the chain at that width. Jay Johnson
