tire

I was just wondering if the radial tyre were lasting less than the bias type on a vmax. Any feedback guys ?

Didn't see that anyone had started one, so here we go. I'm still running OEM Bridgestones, BT028, front and rear. If you've run something else on the Gen2, please share. Motorcycle Superstore currently has a sale on the BT028

I joined your site to find some info....and I went through most of the treads and came up empty.... One quick question, and one quick answer may help me make my decision. Anyone tried a 100/90/18 up front? I Want to go with their 170/80/15 Pirelli Route ME66, but to match the front. they...

What is the widest tire I can run on a 1995 VMAX. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks so much.

After all these years of riding on and off road I finally got something stuck in my tire. Of course it had to be on the rear tire of the Max and the tire only had 2000 miles on it. I pulled it out and plugged it and it has been holding for a month now. I just planned on using the tire until...

Not much in the way of pics but here's a teaser. We still have to tear the bike down and coat. chrome, and paint everything but gives you the idea. The dual nitrous bottle/struts will eventually be functional provided the gear box holds up to normal power levels. Sean

FYI just ordered stock front and 170/80 15 rear shinko 230 set from bike bandit - they are out of stock on rear at the moment. just a heads up to those of you ordering soon :bang head:

I just bought an 85 max that has a custom rim with a 200mm tire on it.It was like wrestling an alligator to get that thing out.Does anyone else with this size tire have any tips on removal/instalation?I ended up removing the disc and caliper then letting all the air out and I still really fought...

Ok, so ever since my tire fiasco at the VMOA rally in Eureka Springs, I have been running a Metz 140/90/15 ( all I could get at the time). I have noticed that my top end speed has dropped 5 or 6 mph (GPSed) due to the shorter tire. Now I am going to replace both front and rear tires, and am...

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Enjoy! <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vE2DAxhRkoc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...

tire balancing ??? update after the install I know some where I seen a thread on balancing tires your self any one knows about this or how its done??:ummm: Stupid steelership wants 30 buck to balance my back tire for me what a rip off :damn angry:

I am really like the Shinko 230 Tour Master Rear Tire . I have been running Dunlap but only can get a season out of them and only 2/3 of a season this time around.:bang head: There wear factor on these are about the same I assume as they have the same speed rating as the Dunlap's do...

Hi, This is my first post, so I would like to say hi to all! I purchased a 2002 vmax and would like to convert it to use a 240 wide back tire. I noticed that most of you do not do this and I am wondering why its not a more popular option in the US. If someone has successfully done this...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, but not new to Vmaxes and am looking for your input. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, and if it's not, I beg for your forgiveness. As I have a run flat car tire on the rear of my '01 GL1800 Goldwing for the past 40,000 smiles...

What is the stock front and rear recommended tire pressures?

My front tire wobbled when I bought the bike. So, I read on here and replaced my steering stem bearings, which looked pretty worn. This fixed most of the problem, but there was still a problem when letting off the throttle in fifth gear around 50 down to 45 mph. So, I changed out the wheel...

im getting an 18" x 5.5" sportmax rim:eusa_dance: the tires im thinking about getting are metzeler ME 880 tires but the rear tire is a V rated and the front is H rated. im thinking a 180/55ZR18 rear and a 110/90H18 front that's the best combo i can find my question is with 2 different speed...

I have 18s front and back. I run a 180/55R18 Metzler marathon on the rear and a 110/80R18 Metzler Z6 on the front. As far as I am concerned, I am happy with both tires. I'd like to change the size of my front. Going to a 120/70 seems logical but I'm afraid it will be smaller than the 110/80...

What is the largest tire size that will work on my 1995 with stock rear rim? Thanks, Randy in Phoenix
