I think a few people (IINM, Tim, Xand and Raju) here are using Maxxis High Roller. I used High Roller before, don't really like it. But then maybe the size was small. I used 2.1 inch. Yang lain is using 2.5 kot. Or was it 2.3

Added on January 25, 2012, 4:34 pm By the way...why didnt you like it? 1. Maybe too much weight shifted to the front 2. Tayar memang no grip 3. Too much air in tire Was it wet yesterday? I didn't like High Roller back then is because of sketchy feeling when cornering. But then, maybe because tire was too small. The HR 2.1 actually feels like a 1.8/1.9 tire. Smaller casing IINM. |
