tire

My Shinkos are nearing the end of their life. Does anyone use the Bridgestone exedra max bias tires and if so what is your opinion of them? The Metzelers are crazy expensive and the Dunlops do not seem too popular on this website. Thanks. http://www.bridgestone.com/products/...xedra/max.html

I have only a minor issue at 40 -45 mph and the front end has been checked out and tightened. My question is, do you think the fly screen and backrest contribute to it? Second what is the best tire option for a stock vmax. I have never been a fan of the Dunlops. Thanks Hwystar1

Ive see:ummm:n up here where a few guys have put a 170 rear tire on their 1st generation max's.Could someone give me the full size of the tire? Aspect ratio,etc?

Does anyone know if this tire will fit a stock rim? 200/70 B 15 M/C 82H TL Metzler

Can anyone tell me please if a 170 tire,,,Metzeler or whatever will fit on the back of my Max. I can't seem to find the tire dimensions. I figured this would be the place to go for a good anser. thx. KKrieger

Its time for a new front tire, as my decel wobble has been traced back to be front shinko tourmaster and its near 1/4" wobble, rim is straight but the tire seems to almost have a bubble like a seperation or something. So I have narrowed my option down to either a pirelli sport demon or a...

Hi All, Finally getting new rubber for my 04' stock rear wheel. Looking at the Metzeler's but confused by the ratings. The OEM's have a V rating. When I look at the big selling sites, I see the Metzeler 880 170/80/15 have an H or HB rating? Can I use these? Not sure what the HB rating...

I always heard of the vmax and the dreaded high speed wobble, I had Metzler marathons on front and back and never had the speed wobble and I have had the bike wide open a handful of times when I replaced the front tire with a dunlop qualifier I now get the wobble at about 180km/h. I don't really...

I realize this question is always a huge debate with any motorcycle but I'd like to know some opinions on tires. I'm not someone who takes their bike to a track and races it, I'm a commuter and long distance rider that likes some twisties. I'm looking for a tire that handles decent in rain and...

I'm runnig a set of Roadtec Z6 interact. Metzeler advice 34(36)/36(38) for solo ride on the sport touring. Guys, how much pressure do you put in ur radials ?

Ok guys,ive got the ole 85 up and running and pretty much road worthy except one thing...TIRES! Was wondering if any of you have any special brand tire that you like and works well with the max.I dont want too sticky,because i wanna get some miles out of them. And,while im here,ive been looking...

I tried spinning my rear wheel (on center stand) while in neutral, and found it didn't turn without significant effort. Even after spinning it hard, it wouldn't make a full revolution. Is this typical? I just had new tires put on a few weeks ago, and had never actually spun it before. Just...

Very useful when considering different tire sizes or setting a digital speed that requires inputting tire circumference. http://www.discounttireshopper.com/calculator.htm

Just wanted to get some input on this stuff, claims to seal holes from nails and what not and is used as a dynamic balancer, has anyone used this stuff and how well does it work to balance wheels? http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle-formula-mot.html Seems like a pretty neat concept to me

looking to find out if i can squeeze a 170:biglaugh: tire on the rear? And what do i need to do to make it fit.Seen one on a vmax last year owner was not around to ask. :confused2: thanks in advance for any info.:worthy:

Can one, by him or her self, take the tire off the alloy by simple use of their hands and tools found in the home? Or does it require a proper specialist machine??

Looking at getting more cornering and grip from my tires... what type of tire should i go for? looking at a pirelli sport demon for the front. but what should i get for the rear???

I am currently running a new Metzeler 880 H in the rear and want to replace the original factory Dunlop on the front. It appears there are 2 types which I listed below. My question is there any other preference other than speed rating and tread style I should be considering? The 880 tread style...
