here is the link bro --> http://malaysianbikers.com.my/forum/index.php?topic=74413.0
the writer even note that mps should be avoided
if not mistaken they are talking about MT75..based on the link given smallest 90/80/17 for front and 100/80/17 for rear..
on my way back drop by at a workshop and ask the mech about tyre..he recommend me duro racing compound series..RM125 for 90/80 (if heard correctly
)..ask about pirelli he can order if really keen..
Wah, Pirelli ranked higher than BT39SS. Any idea how much the price? Surprise me with <RM200 and I'll sure to get it.the writer even note that mps should be avoided

I've not really tried out the MPS since I got it - blame it on myself coz no time to setup the bike, compared to my previous one which had TT9 front and Battlax on the rear, I could lean and drift, but not since using diffrent bike and switched to MPS.
For a fact, MPS is a budget tire. Michelin score it as follows:
Wet/Dry grip, Durability and Comfort - 6 out of 10
Agility - 7 out of 10
Budget - 9 out of 10
Of course, it is better than OEM tires. More than enough for daily ride.
However, for the round tire carcass, I do not expect the grip to be superb. If compared, I'd have more confidence on TT9. Too bad TT9 has bad wet grip, and develops bumps and cracks halfway through its lifetime - not a reliable tire. Btw, I saw a TT9 with new bunga in town, that doesn't have the center groove one... kinda looks like FDR - tauke tried to sell me 90/80 for RM80.
If I have to put my money on the next tire, it'll be racing compound with good bunga: Maxxis, Swallow, Michiyama, Duro, Shinko... Give the tires a good rub to test the compound, check the manufacturing date and make up my mind. These tires are priced reasonably around MPS.
If kena lottery, BT39SS, BT010, or perhaps Pirelli Sports Demon.
I have just fitted a set of Farrelli tires on my small bike... will let you guys know how that tire perform. These tires cost me RM60 a piece, 70/90 & 80/90 - stock size.
