suggestions on which road legal tyres to go for
Permalink  
 


Trials style tyres   not sm  

Fronts pretty new but im just going to go for the set,   i have the bridgestone tw302 on there at the moment an the backs  in need of replacing pretty badly now.

just wondering  what you all think an  whats  good  to go for  an whats not 

hard wearing 

smooth riding 

stable grip

cornering

 

im really  wanting some maxxis ones like dtcruizer had  they look pretty mean  but iv ridden on a knobbly tyre when i used my offroad wheel once   due to a flatty    but it felt   rotten to ride on hard surface...

im running a mitas c02

and i will be buying another when this one finally wears down

its got loads of grip and it is a proper enduro tyre for people that want good grip all round and its lasted ages.....iv heard nothing but good results from all the enduro boys about this tyre and many wont run anything else

its not too noisy on the tarmac either ....some are

hope this helps a little smile

or these i like these michelin ones too, but tread pattern looks similar to the noisey pirrelli scorpoin tyre i have already so im not sure whether this will be a noisey slippy tyre aswell .

do use my bike in the wet a lot for transport so i like it to stick on road ,,, mainly i ride mine on roads i dont like making it dirty. i got a spare one for that..

But i want a nice aggresive looking tyre an dont want to compromise the ride quility too much , i gotta say the ride on the brigestones i have been using has been awsome,

stick like glue on the road in all wheather , an even to wet drain covers ( anybody whos bought a cheap tyre before knows the dangers of a wet drain cover lol) .. but the tyres are completly missin any kind of aggressivness look about em.
