Tyres and grip
Permalink  
 


Been some time since i been on here, so here i am again,    im getting my rear tyre changed to a Avon road tyre on my dt 125 r , but im keeping my nobbly front tyre on untill i can afford to get the front Avon tyre, how well do you all think it will handle? will it be better grip as the rear will be road tyre, as before it wasnt so grippy on the road with the rear nobbly tyre on,

happy yours does energizzed lol mine does not i find myself going sidewalds around corners all the bloody time but thats cos i got a crappy bt45.


and manic what avon's are you geting avon road riders? if so not sure how much they are brand new look at a part warn set thats what i do as u can get a basicaly brand new tyre with a punch for half the price and as the dt uses tubed wheels it doesnt batter if there is a hole init so u will save yourself sone cash.

Mine are expensive but still with 25% off! the rear I got for £85 and the front at £73 but im getting the rear done first untill i have enough money for the front tyre, so the grip should be good, im not sure if im getting avon distanzia's or normal slicks, i just ordered a road tyre lol , but there decent enough, Avon's a good make.

Check out my thread, didn't like the reviews on the Avon's so i went for the Dunlop Trailmax tyres in the end. Amazing bits of rubber! Only just worn them in and i've got some silly lean out of them so far lol, so scared they're gonna slip but they haven't yet :P
