Tires for T135

[CryptonX]

Just thinkin.
So, we have to determine our riding style and the track, then get get the appropriate tyres. When the style changed, so do the tyres.
Safer right, he he he

now that TRUE if u ride hardcore u need the best u can get if u ride normal u just need normal tyres

Again, u are right cryp! But if u have the budget, go for a semi soft tires. good 4 a wet & dry road, good for a hi speed & normal driving: though not very good for our pockets! hehehe

well my next tyre will be battlax at stock size as the guys here said they have great performance

I've just installed battlelax bt39 front 80/90 rear 90/80 at SGD$160. very gd handling at corner but now top speed 120, lasted time 130km to 140km. i also dun know y ?

 

[CryptonX]

cause u have havier tyres now and need more time to reach the top speed u had before

and that's one of the dilema of changing wider tires! but u can always buy a performance kit for your ride hilmi! 8)

Hehe more grip less speed is quite logical.
But maybe some of us have different experiences.

 

[badrul_19_86]

anybody heard bout MAXIS tyre? good or not?

 

[xioxidest]

maxxis tyre..they've got gud grip but the smallest size is 100/70 17..dunno if there smaller..

 

[unlimited express]

how about the price? same as dunlop?

 

[xioxidest]

the price r bit higher..depends on the size..for 130/70 d price around rm200, 110/70 rm140 but d grip is way better than tt900..

 

[badrul_19_86]

Actually it is the reversed, more grip more speed, because at high speed we wont so easily skid the tyre.

Jain's problem is because his tyre is heavier than stock, and the front tyre has more grip. We can achieve higher speed only if the driving wheel has more grip.

Let's say, if we use stock size, with Dunlop TT900 on the rear. The front remain 70/90 stock tyre stock grip. Definitely we can gain a bit more top speed provided the engine is powerful enough

I've just checked out Viva 90/80. It's grip is pretty good, slightly better than Duro when i rub my finger on it. The price is around RM90 (USD27). He said 80/80 tyre is rare size, usually people use 70/90 on the front. 80/80 tyre cost RM80 (USD24). Viva brand also.

Your place got any big shop with a lot of rim and tyre varieties? In Georgetown area I saw a big shop, dunno about the pricing though =P

 

[135lcSS]

dont worry here bro..charge...hey last nite im so excited about it..i got to this shop in BM..(ill show u later bro) its a spare part place.. i went to buy rear tyre for me... i asked him about VIVA 90/80 rear 17 tubeless...he said RM85 then i asked him about 80/90 RM 65..so i bought the 80/90 viva..then i told him "i'll take it" then he goes upstairs and bring me a dunlop TT900 tubeless 80/90 17inch..then i told him its more expensive..i dont want dunlop..then he said..its the same price..haha..im so happy ...i bought it..now im using it..i asked him about the front tyre ..he said dunlop dont have front tubeless tyre..

 

[goff_d_p]

you can use the same tire 80/90 for the front.
i have the 90/80 tube type for my front and 100/90 in the rear tubeless. the rim of the tire is the same. you can use the tire with out a tube only for mag type rims. not spoke type rims.
