Avoid Dunlop TT5 and TT9 - tayar can kembang and harden and crack.
Avoid VIVA & FKR - very lasting with little grip.

Can try Maxxis, DURO Taiwan, FDR (Indo). Maxxis and DURO also make racing compound tyres.

Brands heard before but not familiar: Michiyama, Swallow, Shinko (Korea), Unilli aka Acme...

Currently using Pilot Sporty and Farrelli.

Tyre size should match with rim size.
110/70 need at least 2.15.

wow.. rich kid using battlax... LOL... the thread not fast finish wan ka..??

if not mistaken Michiyama is sport series for Farelli.

what size is ur Pilot Sporty? how much & where u get it?

i'm using RB sport rim..if not mistaken 1.85 for the rear..

of using stock rims what is the bigger size than the stock tyre can fit? 100 can?

quite fast liao..i think not even 1 year..
summore since may this year i travel a lot..kulim<-->penang almost everyday..

I know 100 still can... if 110... ask expert liao...

Maxxis is indeed quite good..have tried with my brother ride b4..

i take out the rear tyre n put it at front n get 100/90 at rear izit ok? do i need to change my sprocket setting for accel bcoz the tyre will make my bike a bit heavier aite?

Bro alexei is right. Its time for me to change my front TT9

Added on November 15, 2010, 12:40 pmYou try change the tyre first, if bike no power then only you change the sprocket setting lor.
For me i will always try one by one, then only i will know the difference

try maxxis diamond.... not expensive.... and good... =) especially during rainy days.. diamond makes u feel secure while cornering on the wet...

@anep: No need, like Cheang said... For the rear tyre, check if it has something like 90/80R. If got "R", means rear tyre only.

@shawal: I got them at Tokico Penang, RM110 front, RM185 rear. This was last year. Should be cheaper now. 1.85 should be good with 100.

Battlax should last 6~8000km. If the tyre botak and square, that means the rider not extreme rider, can go for cheaper tyre liao.
Road tyre can probably go up to 10000km. I'm still measuring my Pilot, rarely use.

Pilot Sporty traction is 6 dry and 6 wet, out of 10, rated by Michelin themselves. Michiyama is racing compound of Farelli, that's right. IRC is Inoue Rubber Co (Japan), another OEM tire for LC next to VIVA (according to the service manual), and its made by FKR Malaysia, kinda like their racing compound also. So far the Goldwing also quite good. The mat EX5 in Penang would use Dunlop TT100 or the IRC Goldwing. I would give MA-3D a try too. Aaron is the main user here...

Added on November 15, 2010, 1:34 pmI use Farrelli becoz cheap, ~RM60 only. Just RM5 more than VIVA. The bunga is rough good for rainy weather. Looking at some old photographs of racing bikes, they actually use this type of sotong tyre last time.
