Title: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 09, 2008, 06:44:53 AM Dunlop qualifiers. I dont ride well enough to know the difference in a Pirelli and a changsheng but everyone has a preference/opinion ... so give it!
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 09, 2008, 06:51:43 AM I am in need of new tires. Must get them before the AR trip. I run Power Race on my R6. Do not know what to put on the 1098.
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 09, 2008, 06:53:02 AM I have about 2600 miles on mine and while the look fine (to me) I was under the impression that 3k was about all to expect to get out of a set?
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 09, 2008, 06:54:42 AM I am in the exact same boat. I am currently at 2800, and will be adding a few hundred more this week.

Must get them before the AR trip. I run Power Race on my R6. Do not know what to put on the 1098. I put some Pilot Power 2CTs on the 1098... No Bueno. Going to go with some Pirelli Super Corsas [thumbsup] Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 09, 2008, 07:18:44 AM I put some Pilot Power 2CTs on the 1098... No Bueno.

Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Duc L'Smart on September 09, 2008, 07:34:13 AM Had Qualifiers on the PS... Liked them a lot [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: RichD on September 09, 2008, 04:42:28 PM Hey, since we're in Ohio now, and winter is next week...
Shouldn't we get studded tires or something??..? jus sayin'... [evil] Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 09, 2008, 04:47:34 PM I want chains!
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: RichD on September 09, 2008, 04:50:33 PM Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: newslacker on September 09, 2008, 07:18:15 PM I like the qualifiers, they have tons of grip and wear fast. 3200 mi and my rear was shot.
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: LYD on September 09, 2008, 09:15:06 PM I like qualifiers also, but I want to try out the double compound, soft on the edges and harder in the middle. I do alot of highway to and from work anout 50 miles round trip!
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 10, 2008, 04:24:20 AM Once this rain stops I will have new tires. AMA-A said they had what I needed. Forgot to ask them what brand [bang] [laugh]
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 10, 2008, 05:10:43 AM Im going to go ahead and change mine before HC. After talking to Derek yesterday I feel like mine are indeed worn beyond their prime. Derek was describing how a flat spot on top of the tire would cause the bike to turn in rather abruptly and unexpectedly and that was exactly how it felt when we rode on Sunday. I think Ill get the Qualifiers again, but something a of a little harder compound in the middle might be best seeing as most of my miles are commuting. Any suggestions?
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 10, 2008, 05:18:14 AM You are going to keep your current tires on for the AR trip?
Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 10, 2008, 05:24:30 AM You are going to keep your current tires on for the AR trip? Time and $$$ are against me. Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 10, 2008, 05:33:50 AM Hmm. Cryptic response. Are you still thinking about trailering up, or are you backing out? You need to to convince ommyta and the bonwilder to trailer up with you. I love AR roads [moto]

You need to to convince ommyta and the bonwilder to trailer up with you. I love AR roads [moto] I'm out for the AR trip, but Tommy might go, think he wants to trailer.....don't know Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 10, 2008, 05:36:40 AM Hmm. Cryptic response. [moto] Ya Im good like that... I am trying to go. Still waiting on a few stars to align, and now I have tires to think about. I think ommyta is good and I would certainly prefer to trailer up. Tommy are you "IN" for sure? Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Bonwilder on September 10, 2008, 05:39:52 AM Ya Im good like that...

He says he's totally in, but he doesn't know if he can leave on Fri after 5, or Sat after 2. He is going to trailer, and you are welcome to ride with him if you wanna! Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Slag on September 10, 2008, 05:41:32 AM That is good news. You could always ride up with us, and then trailer back with Tommy. That lets you hit the roads on the way up, and you will get back in time for whatever...

Title: Re: Tyres/Tires Post by: Kevin848 on September 10, 2008, 06:04:21 AM How's that feel, anyway? Sorry but you lack the required parts to feel such a sensation but this may help ...
