    Like some of you, I've used the paint pens to whiten the lettering on your tires. Its called Hot tires from Duplicolor. Its works ok, but I found a new paint pen that goes on way better and far less messier. I found it at Fastenal of all places, I was there for bolts and saw black and yellow on...

    Need new tires

    Right now I have Metzler's, stock wheels. 150 in the back. Don't like them that much, still enough tread but too slippery. Should I look to have 170 in the back? And what are good tires, good in cornering, something that grips good dry or wet. Thanx

    What do you guys think of running different brand tires front and rear?

    I know this probably belongs in the tire section...oops. I really like the shinko rear but I am not that fond of the front. I try to keep the tires matched because of rubber compound. I hit the corners pretty hard for a vmax(lol I think so anyhow maybe I am slow) so I don't want any surprises...

    Anybody have experience with Kenda tires?

    I just put a set on my '85 Max, because I had to have tires right away, and they were all I could get on short notice (I know, lack of planning by me does not constitute an emergency). Local wrench had them in stock, so I figured better to get them on rather than ride through cord while waiting...

    Buying tires on-line

    I bought a new set of Avon Venom X last May 08 for my Vmax. I love the way the tire handles but they cracked on the side walls like they are dry rotted. I talked to the guys at MotoX on line that I bought them from and they didn't want to warranty them. I finally did some research online and...
