Hey guy's time to replace the rear tire.. Question time.. Reccomendations as far as a replacement?.. This is mainly going to be for sporting around.. so a good sport tire would mostlikely be best.. Currently i have Metzeler 180/55 ZR-17 (73W).. Second part to the question, will i need to change the front tire aswell so they both match?.. the front is in damn near perfect condition with little wear.. Anyways suggestions would be appericiated.. and a good place to buy em .

 

If you ar not doing any track riding a sport touring tire would be good. You can get alot of mileage out of them plus still have good performance. Pirelli has a promotion going on that if you buy a rear diablo strada, you can get the front for free. I bought my rear from southwest moto tire. The link for the free tire is getpirelli.com.

 

if you do go that route. you better hurry because there aren't many tires left in the promotion.

 

Hey:
What type is your front tire a Metzeler? Why just not go with another M1 just a little wider, a 190 or 200 and see if you like it as they are
priced good on ebay right now. Also some guys here have really good links to tire stores with great prices

 

Hey:
Southwest has really good price on most brands

 

Can i put a 190 or 200 on the stock rim?.. with the fender? or should i just stick with a 180?..

 

Time for me to sound stupid, as I often do .....

Is your bike a 929? That was the bike you mentioned you were looking at some time ago....
The stock tires on these bikes are Front: 120/70ZR-17 radial, Rear: 190/50ZR-17 radial. How did your bike end up with the sizes you mentioned?

 

Um.. well it has 9600 miles.. so i am assuming a long time ago in a galaxy far far away they were changed.. he said he didn't do it when he owned it, but he'd only owned it for about a year.. and 1,000 miles.. so i dunno.. Although if they did come with 190's that kind of answers my question.. on a stock rim i can fit a 190.. now.. how about a 200?..

 

Yeah, not sure about a 200. The shop would know....

 

i have a near new rear battlaz bt010 ill sell you for 75 shipped......85% tread and perfect, just easy riding on it....


I did buy a set of the meteler m1's on ebay....225 to my door for front and back...cant beat it...
