Which tyres do you use and prefer in terms of FC and Handling. I'm personally using Farrelli F900 70/90 X 17 and F900 80/90 X 17. Get great handling and FC.

I own a honda wave 100r, tayar belakang always kena paku. Very annoyed edi.
So if I want to change the back tyre to sports rim and the tubeless tyre, how much will that cost me?

sport rim comes in 1 set, 1 set around RM130 last time, now not sure, 1 piece tubeless tire around RM40-RM60 depends on quality. and u have to buy a nut which cost around RM2-RM4 depends on quality as well. the nut u better buy expensive 1. My personal experience is i used tubeless for more than 3 years now, never gone puncture b4. only problem is the nut gone leaking if use the cheap 1.

My farrelli's are supposingly "pancit boleh jalan", although i've never tried (and hope not) the salesguy says it's real and great. Anyone of you guys out there can share about this brand of tyres, what's the pros and cons.

I am Farrelli user and it is really 'pancit pun boleh jalan'

The tyre frame is very strong, event puntured still can maintain 50km/h without shaking or lost balance. Of course you can try ride faster brows.gif
So when you reach the workshop, your tyre still in good shape and after patching it's OK. I am riding Wave125 and my weight 60kg.

Another experiment to share is I bring with pillion and the rear tyre already hit with nail and I am not aware. I just feel it is a bit lost balance when I turning. After 3 km I stop for checking. If it is other brand tyre I don't believe I still can ride it with pillion.

But the F900 is not as good as TT900 or Duro918, although the thread design is similar. But Farrelli F1800 is really good.

I have blog about this sometimes ago. http://rikilee.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/mo...relli-fkr-duro/

guys, I have to admit this .. Farrelli Tyres is the best.. espeacially the F900 80/90x 17 ..

the grip is so awesome.. even in the rainy day... the tyre still grip the road.. I saw the print ad from Kapcai magazine.. and recently I saw one Farrelli Center in Ipoh !

come to think about it, the tyres is so good .. they even have their own Center.. and guess what , their slogan " PANCIT BOLEH JALAN " .. is no kidding.. me myself actually experienced from it...

I used FKR , DUNLOP, DURO... all this is BULLSH*T... once pancit... im dying pushing the bike to the shop to replace a tube.. BUT .. using FARRELLI... i can actually still drive 20km/hr slowly back to my office, after finish my work at 5.00pm, im ride back to by fav's motorbike shop in Kajang to get fix.. (for your info.. I work at Cheras ) ...

Farrelli tyre is made in Malaysia, the quality is so good.. I dont need to worry bout my LC135 anymore.. the beadwire at the tyre is so strong that can protect my sportrim from the pancit damage on the road.. ^^ LONG LIFE FARRELLI ... ^^

F1800 is TT Sotong thread pattern and F900 is TT900 thread pattern. The better grip will be F1800.

Any of you guys in Ipoh wanna change to Farrelli tires can go to their centre in Silbin Roundabout. Their doing a promo now. Each Tubeless tire, FREE Black Oil. They also having Sport Rims promotion now.

Outside of Ipoh and want Farrellis, PM me wink.gif

Heard Farelli F1000 tyre before? It cost RM 80.00. I haven't change yet. Just ask one of my regular repair motorbike shop.

Is there a different F1800, F900 and F1000?

Farrelli tires are 100% Malaysian made tires. They have been in the market for quite some time. Their tires are also "Pancit Boleh Jalan", the only TRUE tire that is with this technology that is certified by Sirim.

I guess you were quoted RM 80 for a tubeless 80/90x17 tire right ? Where are you located ? I might be able to help you get it for less.

To answer your question about the difference of F1000, F900 and F1800; it all bores down to thread pattern actually. F1000 is similar to Dunlop's TT100 while F900 is similar to Dunlop's TT900. F1800 is a mixture of 2 thread patterns being TT Sotong.

so, generally combination of 2 threads is better? last time i was thinking to change to F1800 when the shop recommended me but in the end i chose TT900 as it's the stock tyre for Wave 125 which i thought it'll last long on it?

Actually the F1800 is one of the better thread patterns out there for grip. TT900 cannot compare to Farrelli tires as their not Pancit Boleh Jalan. If you're looking for the same thread pattern as TT900, you can choose F900 from Farrelli.

Thanks for the reply lewatmalam. Yes, the boss quote me RM 80 for a tubeless 80/90X17 (Farrelli F1000). Right now my wave100R rear tyre going to finish the thread after 2 years using it. It is a TT900 Dunlop. Very good tyre i must said. But want to try other brand tyre and found out this farrelli tyre from rikilee blog F1800 and said it is very good and some more 'Pancit Boleh Jalan'. That's why attracted me. Unfortunately the shop boss don't have thus recommended me F1000 but I said don't want. I asked him to look for me, but i doubt that.

I'm located at Puchong nearby the army camp and bintang supermarket area. Do you know where to get F1800 tyre?

Appreciate your help.

Great to hear from you mate. Many people who have used Farrelli tires will always feel the difference and will continue to use them as their actually much more better quality than the other leading brands. Furthermore, Farrelli tires are SIRIM certified. There are only 4 SIRIM certified tires and they are Dunlop, FKR, Farrelli and Michi-yama. Only Dunlop, Farrelli and Michi-yama are Malaysian made.

Always use Farrelli Heady Duty Tubes or Butyl Tubes as their one of the best in the market too.

Want to ask, what to look out for when purchasing sport rim? from my understanding sport rims can be seriously damaged or crack when ride hard like hitting a pothole or speed bumps at considerable speed. also is it true that sport rim can make the handling more difficult (heavy)?

oh yes, what brand of sport rim do you guys recommend. I currently ride a honda wave 100.

used Dunlop a couple of years ago(mostly tt100 & tt9). But today their tyres
more like less quality. Still remember my last tt9(tubeless one) having some
"benjol²" tongue.gif

Now migrated to Duro. Budget tyres but reliable

Great to hear from you mate. Many people who have used Farrelli tires will always feel the difference and will continue to use them as their actually much more better quality than the other leading brands. Furthermore, Farrelli tires are SIRIM certified. There are only 4 SIRIM certified tires and they are Dunlop, FKR, Farrelli and Michi-yama. Only Dunlop, Farrelli and Michi-yama are Malaysian made.

Always use Farrelli Heady Duty Tubes or Butyl Tubes as their one of the best in the market too.

I had used Farreli before, It is really nice tyre..and really pancit boleh jalan..but recently went to NKS sentul and those guys gave a claim that Farrelli no more up to standard and got lot imatations and low quality... so at the end need to settle for Duro & Dunlop...

am i being conned or Farrelli are out of standard nowdays ?

We are actually in the midst of restructuring our Klang Valley Dealership and i personally suspect that you're being conned by the people over there (I stress that it is my personal view). There certainly isn't any imitations as even a brand that's as famous as Dunlop don't have imitations let alone our brand. Our tires have always been up to standard as well as maintaining their quality. Furthermore, our tires are Sirim approved.

Some motorcycle workshop owners in the market will normally try to sell whichever tire that makes the best profit hence sometimes bad mouthing brands that riders look for in order to close the sale. It's basically a sales tactic. Some riders are actually being conned by them to pay high prices for tires as well as spare parts. For example, we sell our F1000 80/90x17 Tubeless Tire Online and at our Showroom in Ipoh at RM 68.00 while some workshop owners are selling them at almost RM 80.00

Dear TS,

It actually depends on the type of bike you are riding, I own a CBR F2, 2 Cagiva Mito & a Kawasaki Kips.

The best tyres for a superbike is Bridgestone (on dry weather) & Michelin (on wet weather)

For normal motorcycle the best is still Dunlop. (You need to get the model based on your needs)

I'm not saying that other brands are bad, but this is my personal experience after testing so many tyres from my student days till now. (no money until got money) smile.gif

I last time use Farrelli, but now I am Duro user.. Because Farrelli motto " Pancit Boleh Jalan " is not a responsible word! Why? I use it, when pancit and still jalan the tayar will crack, bengkak and shake .. somemore all this problem got now warranty. I think if i never follow the word " Pancit Boleh Jalan " I think the tayar wont rosak! If really pancit boleh jalan, but still will rosak.. this tayar and other tayar got what different.. so don't try to tipu lagi.. actually I hear motorshop people say this tayar quality already drop down.. I know NKS sentul... last time I buy there .. now they never supply anymore .. because the quality is very bad!!

Dear friend, it's unfortunate that you had that experience. First and foremost, i would like to ask you whether you do still have the tire that you claim will crack, bengkak and shake after the tire has been punctured. I'm attached with the factory of this company and we will definitely honor any claims if there is a manufacturer defect. After all, our tires are Sirim approved and if we do not honor the manufacturing defect, you are always welcomed to make a report with the Consumer Association.

I can assure you that a punctured tire will not crack, blister and swing at the same time. That is totally impossible as the tire structure doesn't permit it to happen. Hard for me to explain the full details as it's very complicated. As far as quality issues is concerned, i will let Sirim be the judge of that and not dwell on it. If a tire doesn't meet a particular standard, Sirim will not approve it.

On your statement of motor workshops saying our tires are of bad quality and not claiming the tires for you are just simple marketing tactics of them to sell you a different brand of tires or product so that they can make more money. Maybe they are now pushing a different brand ? Nobody knows and neither can i say nor blame them.

But one very strong statement that you have posted in your reply is that you claimed that our tires cheated you and request us as a factory not to cheat anymore. Please be known that if you in fact have evidence that we have cheated you in anyways, please do proof it to us by contacting me personally and we will take the necessary action to rectify the problem. But if you do not have any proof of what you claim, i hope you will be smart enough to not bad mouth us as we do take defamation very seriously and will not hesitate to take legal action.

Oh by the way, if you do have proof of your claim, i sincerely do advise you to report the problem to the Consumer Association before contacting me so that you will be protecting your claim.

lewatmalam,

Who Are You? You Want TO SUE me?! vmad.gif I really would like to know who you really are? are you from the factory? My case are 6 months ago. do you think I am sohai.. keep your tayar untill now? I use to be Farrelli supporter.. my group of friends all use F1800! .. BUT, never actually heard of the SIRIM!

Every good product will take responsibility on their own defects and suggestions from the public! We are the user, we know what products is good and no good. If you got the time and plan to sue me for bad mouthing Farrelli.. Why don't you go survey the market... Even the most famous motorshop in the market also never sell your tayar!?

you think your product can improve without hearing complains from the market?

I think you misinterpreted my reply to you. I did in fact ask you whether you have the tire with you so that we can check your claims. You can also check with the necessary authorities about our Sirim approval. If you had such an bad experience using our tires 6 months ago, why did you not bring up the matter to the consumer association in which is your right as the consumer.

To answer your question on whether i'm from the factory, yes i am. If our tires are so bad and of bad quality that your so called MOST FAMOUS MOTORSHOP IN THE MARKET even doesn't sell our tires, then we wouldn't be in business today won't we.

We do listen to our consumers and feedback from our customers and find out where the fault is at. We are not the number tire in Malaysia, but we're one of the strong contenders nationwide.

I shall not dwell in this matter with you as it will never come to a solution. If you do want to make a formal complaint with the consumer association, you are most welcomed. If you want to make statements that defame our brand of tires, please do it formally so that we can settle any disputes you have with our tires in the grown up manner and not disturb this thread where there are clearly people who have used our tires and praising them.

First and foremost on your attached photo of your report :

- There is not one word stating that the tire that you have purchased and deemed to be defective is Farrelli,
- There is also no statement of which Motorcycle Shop you bought the tires from in which TTPM will need to know,
- Lastly, you did state that the other Motorcycle Shop that you claimed to have brought your UNKNOWN tire to said that the UNKNOWN tires lifespan has expired and kept for a long time at the Motorcycle shop you bought the tire from before being sold to you.

If this is indeed the case, ponder on a similar scenario :

You buy a bottle of milk from a sundry shop and drink it. You end up having severe food poisoning. Do you actually go look for the factory who package the milk who sold to their distributors onwards to the sundry shop or take up a case with the sundry shop ?

Please do bring up proper facts before posting something that is totally irrelevant. This thread has been started a year ago but both you and mohammend just joined Lowyat.net this month and have never posted anything in the any of the forum threads apart from this thread. Anyways it has been really entertaining sparring with you guys. It has brought me much joy and also shown the others in this forum what your posting was all about. You can flame and do whatever you want in this thread but it will not affect the sales and marketing of our brand. In fact, it brings more publicity for us too.

lewatmalam,

first of all, I don't really know who is rockeribrahim. But, somehow I would like to thank rockeribrahim for the shout out.

Well, so this thread has been started a year ago.. I don't even to bother about that, I have just noticed it not long ago. And after seeing all this.. I thought that I have found a place for me to FxxK! Farrelli..

Somehow I feel sad, to hear that this thread is only for the Farrelli's Fan to praise and brought up Farrelli but not listening to the public complains.

Conclusion, your tayar is the best in Malaysia, and is not permitted for the user to complain. lewatmalam, hahahah... please don't deceive oneself.

Since this thread is to praise and compliments for Farrelli tayar. Ok.
I hope for the coming in forum user, please give more compliments to Farrelli.. as this thread is officially for Farrelli's Fans and is not permitted for all the complains or else you will get sue! ahahahaha : )

I am going to try Farelli next round... this would be one of the things I hope can beli buatan malaysia.

Hate to see Thailand made products dominate our local market, and all our hard earned money goes overseas... Michelin, Duro, Maxxis...

I'll try Farelli, IRC, FKR and maybe more. Long live local tayar...

Actually it's not the Thailand market dominating the market now, it's the China market. Anyways JKJR and JPJ are having an ongoing roadshow to educate the public on using tires with either Sirim or E standard. They will start taking action in October. So do make sure you choose tires that have the approved standard to avoid problems with the enforcement. And do remember that Farrelli tires are Sirim Approved so you're sure the quality and standard is there.

Farelli is hard to find in Georgetown, Penang. Do you have any recommended bengkel?

Managed to find one, and I replaced my rear tire with F1000, and my friend a set of F1000 in Pulau Tikus bengkel. Date code 0510 to 0910, quite new tires.

We went to spare part shops around Komtar, but none of them carries it. They had FKR, IRC Gold, and many Dunlop TT100... price point of Farelli is RM10 below IRC.

Was considering TT100 tubeless, but this also very rare here...

Bro, i'll get you few of our dealers in Georgetown latest by Monday evening. Our salespeople normally do not concentrate on spare parts shop. Our main concern are the motorcycle repair shops.

I have been using many brands of tyres.

I like the grip of Dunlop TT900, I can really taking low laps with confidence. Its grip is amazing in hot weather/surface.
Yet, it is slippery in rainy/wet surface.

After TT900, I use Farelli F1800. In my opinion, I didn't like the way the tyre react to change in direction.
Cant get my low cornering pleasure. Haven't use it really long, change to other tyres.
Nonetheless, I think the tyre performs normally in normal riding condition.

Now, i'm using Unilli racing tyre. It is my first time using this tyre, and i'm very happy with it.
Superb grip in both dry and wet road. It turns out accordingly with my motion, and get the 'layan' corner feeling.

did you know that Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear and Continental get their SMR 10 and SMR 20 from Malaysia's very own Felda? Mainly from Lurah Bilut Rubber Factory, Pahang.

just went there last Wednesday.. quite a smell smile.gif

Actually there are only 4 rubber factories in malaysia that we can buy SMR10 and SMR20 from. All factories that use rubber will have to buy from them unless they buy from other countries. Many other brands of tires also buy SMR from malaysia. Yes the smell stinks like hell !

Thx for sharing, didn't know anything about SMR before.

@lewatmalam: since you know so much about Farrelli, how does the process to make them compared to branded ones like Michelin and Bridgestone? Is there silica compound added to the tires to improve wet handling and heat resistance?

The process of manufacturing Farrelli Tires are actually the same as FKR, Duro, Dunlop and Michelin which is pneumatic while Bridgestone is using Zero Degree. As for silica compound, all tires actually have this compound, it's the quantity that is mixed into the whole compound that differs. There is a minimal quantity that SIRIM checks for before approving a tire to be deemed safe for road use so if you use tires that are SIRIM approved, you need not worry. Most China and Vietnam tires do not have the minimum quantity needed for a safe ride hence they will not be able to get their tires approved by SIRIM. Furthermore, those tires normally last only 3-4 months maximum. Less Silica, less grip and durability. Ever notice Racing Slick Tires which is like "botak" ? Those tires give you hellalot of grip even when "botak". This is because they use a very high silica compound. Higher silica would also mean more expensive tires as silica isn't cheap.

zero degree tires... hmmm. Googled a bit and got some idea. So, Bridgestone tires are steel belted? The pneumatic ones are nylon belted then?

I was using a dunlop tt900 i think ,for my front wheel , the threads almost ran out (in some areas got less than 1mm groove left) and i almost lost control of my bike , over some slightly wet surface. I'm using a fz150i mad.gif

Anyway , i went to a motorbike repair shop , went and touched some rubber. The shop owner recommended me farrelli , then i was thinking , eh , FERRARI tires ?? XD Pirelli knock offs? shocking.gif

He showed me the tire , it is the F1800 80/90x17 TL tire. I touched it and it was pretty good , slightly softer than my old tires , but i think thats a good thing cause maybe it provides more grip? It has much more grooves/threads anyway , so i just say yes.

Real question here, he put a tube in , so is it really tubeless? Then what is the speed rating for this tire? 130 and above is too much or what?

i paid rm68 for the tire and rm8 for the inner tube.

First and Foremost, i can assure you that if you indeed bought F1800 80/90x17, it is truly a tubeless tire. Does the sidewall have F1800 Silverace written on it ? That is the basic confirmation on whether that tire is a tubeless tire. Are you using sport rims or spoke rims ? We also do have F1800 275x17 which is tube type but some bad ethnics workshops out there will sell them as tubeless. Do let me know where you bought the tires and which shop name if you would like me to check. Our tire speed rating is P which is 150km/h, this means that the tire can withstand the heat generated by a constant speed of 150km/h. If you push your tires above that speed then it is dangerous.

P/S We're certainly not Pirelli knockoffs or any type of knockoffs. In fact, our brand has been in the market for more than 10 years. We're 100% Buatan Malaysia and SIRIM Approved !

That is indeed our Tubeless tire. I'm not sure why would the mechanic put in a tube apart from his inability to inflate the tubeless tire (Some mechanics take too much short cuts so they can't inflate our tires). It's best you go ask him why he install a tube into a tubeless tire which is also fitted into a sport rim.

I agree. I`ve used Farrelli tyre long ago when still with my Kriss. For me, its still the best (non race) tyre for the road. Good grip during wet, too.

But kinda hard to find it at shop nowadays.

Between the F1000 and F1800, other than the apparent tread difference, are they the same material?

What about Michiyama?

F1000 and F1800 is using the same material and composite. Michiyama M280 is using a Racing composite hence it's more expensive and better.

Just change to Maxxis tyre MA-3D 70/90 17. It is very nice tyre but a bit pricey. Maybe the shop that change for me charged very high. Tyre only RM 105 + RM 5 valve. Burn RM 110.

Suppose to look for Farrelli tyre but hard to find. Last bought the F1800 also purposely back to Ipoh to get it. sad.gif

Link is ok. Tayar Farrelli memang ada waranti tetapi tertakluk kepada berapa peratus bunga yang telah digunakan. Saya advise balik kepada kedai motor yang you beli tayar itu dari dan buat claims kat sana. Jikalau ada apa problem, tolong PM saya dan saya akan tolong you. Thanks

What's the recommended tyre pressure for Farrelli?
I used 32 F/R, and it was too hard on the front. Reduced it to 30 now.

I came across 2 bike shops that gave customers negative reviews of Farrelli:
1. Tire wall is hard, suitable for heavy load. If use on front tire, will bounce quite a lot, need to reduce pressure.
2. For the same reason, inner wall of tire sometimes got crack, not reliable. I'm not sure how true this is, but we'll see/hear from the rest here.

30 PSI is the recommended from our engineers at our factory. Definitely our tire wall is hard, that is part of the technology that enables the tire to be truly "Pancit Boleh Jalan". Inner wall will not crack unless tire is already been used up to around 30% thread left in which the tire is actually deemed not safe to be use on the road anymore or the tire life expectancy is over or under inflation of the tires. I can't comment on the bike shops that told you these comments but i can assure you that my comments are true from the factory.

Thanks. Just informing you on what I hear on the streets. I'm good with the tires so far.
I used to like the feeling of over-inflating my tires to 32psi, but I guess this won't work with these. For me, 29-30 works best on the front. I'll be installing the tires onto a new set of rims soon, so I'll be sure to check the inner wall and report back. biggrin.gif

What's the tire gauge reading to tell if it's 30% tread left, in mm? I have an ARISTO gauge that looks like this:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



Added on December 2, 2010, 11:58 pmOh, btw, is there a way to test the tyres and compare against the ones on the market? Example, rate from 1 to 10, the traction in dry, wet, reliability, and comfort. And perhaps, to ask for more, is to compare against other brands in the market.

All sirim approved tires will have TWI on the tire. 5mm is the depth of the approved thread depth hence each mm is 20%. 30% will be 1.5mm. Your Aristo gauge works fine. Can't help you on comparing tires in the market as it will bear down to personal preference and ridicule. A full proof way is to get LGM (Lembaga Getah Malaysia) to do a test and report in which will cost a lot of money. Farrelli tires are all tested by LGM as we need the report to get Sirim approval.

Bro audecosta, sorry for late reply. That condition of your tire is what we call blister. Please pm me which shop you purchased these tires and which tokei told u its tiruan. Pls also gv me your phone number. I shall get someone to check the tires for you and if its indeed our manufacturing fault, we will definately change the tires for you.

Just for information purposes, blister can happen 2 ways. One is the the particular tire wasn't cured properly hence after inflation and usage of tires (normally less than a week or the first 10% of threadware), it will result in blister. Although this happens but its very very nominal. Two is that the tire was over inflated. (Motorcycle tires should be only inflated to 30-32psi) This causes irregularity in the tire structure hence causing the tire to blister. Many other factors like weak absorbers also contribute to this problem.

I personally advice all tires to be inflated to the proper psi as its very important. Many motorcycle shops out there do not use tire pressure gauges. They just use their hands to so called picit picit. Do notice if the tire was a car tire, the shop will use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure to ensure this problem doesn't happen.

My current Farelli's are fitted on a new RacingBoy rim both front and rear. I have a F1000 for the rear, and F1800 on the front.

During installation, the mechanic found it hard to mount and had a hardtime deflating the tires at the time. I was told the tyre bead is loose compared to other brands.

Been using them for a while and noticed that it loses pressure very fast, on average drop from 30 to 27 in a week, and down to 17 after 2 weeks of not riding my bike. This is measured on the digital pressure gauge of petrol stations.

These tyres were earlier fitted on a set of older rims, had the same problems (hard to deflate and losing pressure), and I couldn't dispute for a warranty. The tyres are 3-6 months old now. What to do?

My current Farelli's are fitted on a new RacingBoy rim both front and rear. I have a F1000 for the rear, and F1800 on the front.

During installation, the mechanic found it hard to mount and had a hardtime deflating the tires at the time. I was told the tyre bead is loose compared to other brands.

Been using them for a while and noticed that it loses pressure very fast, on average drop from 30 to 27 in a week, and down to 17 after 2 weeks of not riding my bike. This is measured on the digital pressure gauge of petrol stations.

These tyres were earlier fitted on a set of older rims, had the same problems (hard to deflate and losing pressure), and I couldn't dispute for a warranty. The tyres are 3-6 months old now. What to do?
*
Can put glue? and glue the bead to the sidewall? or find other way to stick the bead to the wheel tight? Maybe wont loose pressure so fast tongue.gif

Tu kena tunggu member Selangor jawab.

Saiz tayar tengok jenis motor, tapi normally 70/90 kat depan. Kalau letak 70/100 tayar jadi tinggi. Mungkin kedai nak clear stok. hehe.
Biasa replace saiz besar sikit, jadi 80/90 dan belakang ke 90/80... 90/80 tu biasanya mahal sikit...

for budget, Corsa S-33 or S-123 is enough...for corner addict, can go for Corsa R-46(dry tarmac walawei coz it is official tire for IndoPrix)...

Swallow Samurai also not bad...

Maxxis Diamond, Maxxis Volan also a good choice....

and also regarding how much you want to spend on tire...

just stick with Dunlop for a good/budget tyre

back in my kapcai riding days tt900 were the best tyres. Back don't know how their quality nowadays

Michelin is good too but a bit pricey

True story, same goes for me.. FKR honestly can tahan until 8 months back tyre.. But during rain time, totally no grip even you ride 60-70km/hour.. Totally a kamikaze tyre..

My experience using Corsa S33 tyre, never lost grip even 1 time even rainy weather! Plus, my back tyre can lasts until 1 year 2 months now and still have thread that can hold for about additional 2 months before I need to change.. rclxms.gif

I'm staying in PJ, scouted almost every bike shop I can see.. So far 2 shops in Kampung Tunku PJ selling this Corsa S33 tyre for Rm98/piece where I actually bought it the 1st time at Sungai Buloh area for RM80/piece.. I think PJ is a bit too over priced and not many are selling this brand.. cry.gif Mostly sell FKR and Duro where I have very bad experience in both..

Going to try out Swallow tyre soon and see if it can still serve to ensure my safety.. Well the conclusion is, I support Indonesian made tyre as they manufacture it based on the road conditions of the country..

Should anyone know any shop selling Corsa tyres, please do let me know ya.. TQ! thumbup.gif

Just got mine replaced yesterday, went for Duro HF918. 70/90-17 cost me RM75, while 80/90-17 cost me RM85.

I used Duro on my FXR a long time ago and they were bad. They were hard and didn't grip well on wet road. They would wobble when you hit the paint on the road. But the current Duro tyres offer good performance, I've use it on my LC now.

Another option is the slightly pricier Michelin Pilot Street. I used it on my Ninja 250, and personally I feel their performance is really good.

Or you could go for premium tyres such as Corsa.

From feedbacks i've heard, roughly similar.

Corsa S123 has the advantage in the wet.

I've used both for the rear of my bike (150/70)

Prefer the Corsa S123 in terms of grip and wet weather.

Metzeler Sportect Street i didnt get to use til finish

I see... just changed mine to Michelin Pilot Street last week. For some reason, I feel a bit "wooble" / slant more when cornering. A bit scary. Not sure if it is the new tyre or the new rim (RCB SP522)

Best stock availability for these is in KL. Sentul, specifically NKS Sport Bikers or NKS Trading. Can call them first to check price. Got the City Grips for my NMAX from them.

Thanks, will give them a call when I'm changing my PCX tyres. thumbup.gif , Price is not primary concern. Just the availability is.

Anyway, how's City Grips on your NMAX? hmm.gif

They should have sizes and tire models available for all popular scoots.

As for my City Grips: 2100+ km so far and they're amazing. Way better grip than the standard tires in the wet, which was why I swapped to them as soon as I could.

Hopefully they have. At the moment, I'm using el cheapo Maxxis, the only option available in 2016 sweat.gif . Ditch out stock tyres after using it for less than 6 months. Too slippery if wet. sweat.gif

From what i heard from my fried, he said he's using Timsun 692 and the grip very nice because of the tyre using soft compound if not mistaken

These tires r good...

Just that mostly made in Vietnam/China .. but still good...

I am using Metzeler Roadtec01 HWM version made in china.. flawless during rain and good grip during corner, however Michelin tend to give you better mileage... (last longer)..

what's your mileage like for s21? my friends all reporting in the 10k~ range only...

and in the group, those riding sport touring tires can easily keep up with hypersports users, so not sure if it's even worth it..

If done properly, it should last till the end of your tyre's service life. thumbup.gif
