I need a cheapie rear tire to get me by for alittle bit. anyone know where i can purchase one?

 

how cheapie?

 

i was hoping to find one less than 100 bucks. But that doesnt seem to be somthing that exists.

 

call your local bike shop and ask anyone if they know where to get race take offs. Race take offs are race tires that people only use for a few laps on the track then replace them for maximum high speed grip. They are usually in pretty good shape and will last you a while on the street. You can sometimes get a set for a hundred or so. Also try craigslist too. Just make sure to let them warm up on the street before you go carving into turns or hammering the throttle. Shinko also makes cheap tires but they arent the best around, although a top choice for drag racers because of the price

 

ive run shinkos, been perfect enough for me. good grip and wear like iron. check out motorcycesuperstore.com they got free shipping too

 

yea i just need somthing to get me by for alittle while. I have a brand new m1, but it has a nail hole in it and im not real keen on patching it.

 

whats everyones thoughts on patching a tire?

 

I ran on a plugged tire for a while. It'll get you buy. No high speeds.

 

just dismount and use a plug/patch to fix it then you have at least 2 safegaurds in place, should be fine

 

I've heard bad things about shinko's. Check ebay/craigslist for people selling one or 2 tires.
