tires

I dunno why there isn't a rear wheel washer swap 'how-to' in this section, maybe it is and it's under another title, but I searched all the pages and didn't find it by title. Anyway, here is an excerpt from the "wheels & tires" section, with some added content before the article about my...

My '03 has a stock front wheel and an 18x5.5" in the rear. It's currently got a Battlax B023 110/80R18 up front and an Exedra G850 180/55R18 in the rear. I've found some decent 110/80 front tires like the Pilot Roads or Angels but none of the have matching 18" rears. With the 5.5" wheel, a 180...

I'm considering these to use as my leap into radials, what do you guys think? They're on sale right now on bike bandit and I think they'll work out nicely, since I can't find the shinko 011 or 009 in a size that will fit the factory front max wheel

First Impressions - 150 miles The main reason I chose the Avon Venom AM41/42 tires in 120/90-18 and 170/80-15 for the V-Max is being able to get them as a matched set in the sizes I desired. Finding some favorable comments towards these tires only further convinced me that I was making the...

For all you people that out there that ***** about cagers endangering your live's How about checking your tires ounce in a while as you are probably endangering your life all by your self because you wont take the extra few minutes to check your tires often . I will lay money that 90 % of the...

HI GUYS I am a newbie to the vmax, have been riding for 56 years. I need to know if there are radial tires available with the stock sizes. ON A different topic I need to find out if what is involved in raising back to stock a REAR end that has been lowered. bought my 02 a couple of months ago...

Hey gents, can anyone recommend a good all around set of tires for my 01. I have been told Shinko makes a good all around tire

Has anyone here had any experience running the 120/90-18 & 170/80-15 Avon AM41/42 tires on their Max? I am thinking that I shall need new tires by the end of the riding season, and I like these widths, and they are recommended as a matched set. The 170 on the back is a commonly selected...

Looking at a new rear tire to get me through the new riding season. Running Metzler Marathon now, but for way less money, I found the Shinko 011 Verge. Any thoughts?

Well I'm expectin deal with Sean for all kinds of goodies coming up soon. One of which is switching over to awesome rims and Radials. I've found in cold Canadian weather, at -5°c, my Bias Ply OEM slide around like a ball on ice at that temperature. With Radials w/good and larger rims will i...

I have just acquired a 1989 V-max. It is stock, has 17,000 miles, and has been sitting for 4 or 5 years. I'm working on getting it running, and among other things, it need new tires. I want to stay with stock size tires, and am considering either: Bridgestone G525 / G526 or Dunlop...

I'm looking at going to radials sometime in the near future. What are the available choices for 18 inch rear rims? I know that 17 inch rims have more choices, but I don't like the empty space there is around the tire and the fender. I wonder about something like this...

Hi, would it be possible to fit tires that look like harley davidson forty eight to vmax to some custom rims? would it even be look good? has someone tried and got pics? :)

I was wondering where everyone buys their tires? I have an 03 VMAX and I'm finding that the usual place I buy tires, Tires Superstore, does not carry this size. As I search further, it seems that the 110/90-18 is a unique size (I think this is the original tire, it's a Dunlop Qualifier). Any...

HI guys .I have seen videos and heard that when you get new tires mounted you have to be careful because the tires can be slippery .I have brand new Shenko tires on the front and back of bike .Do I need to be cautious the first time out with the bike?.
