Rear Tyre Wanted CHEAP

[Blakamin]

Wanted... a S/H rear that would be better than the scarey POS shinko thats on my bike at the moment.... was putting away money for one until my speedo cable died on the weekend... knowing how far I've gone is pretty important at the moment!
any tyre considered... havent got huge $$$$
at the mo its a 160/60 17 shinko.... will do a swap if someone wants to do mega burnouts!

[aff-man]

Go - Back - To - Where - You - Bought - The Bike.

Let them know your current circumstances, and see if they can be reasonable about it. The lesson is of course, don't buy the shiney thing until it is exactly as you want it.

What have you got on the front, and what profile and size is the rear?

Front is a pirelli (gts??) and the rear is 160/60 x 17

Just checking with a mate who has some clearance specials hanging about. I'll let you know in 10 mins what he's got. He's also pricing up a rear Pirelli GTS for you as well.

talk to WT see if he can sort you out

No you don't...

You have something real CHEAP... You don't like it. What you want is something real INEXPENSIVE...

Unless the tyre actually lets go, most of it's in the mind or down to tyre pressure. I know a lot of Guzzi people in the US have used the old stinkos and think they are OK. They do big miles too...

Hey Jim ... :spudwave: while you are at it could you see if he has anything for a front tyre for mine as well .. I'm on a limited budget as well .. I am currently running a Bridgestone battlax 120/80-16 .... Cheers ... Just thought that if he's doing run outs then he might have one for the dinosuar .....

[sedge]

I never had any problems with Shinkos on my old ZXR, I rode it pretty hard too... there are, like any brand, different types of Shinko, sporty and touring... You get what you pay for. I wouldn't run them down too much.

Oh, and having a different front from rear profile can cause dodgy handling, but the rear shouldn't be letting go...

Hmmm, you bought a Ducati, have you checked for oil leaks on to the tyre ?

Heh heh.

Sedge. (is a troll)

[Paul in NZ]

One of the Duke people would know but I'd think 38 psi or so?

Cheers

PS - It should not let go with the modest power you are giving it...

Thats what I thought... and what makes me think its a shite tyre... wasn't even going fast, not used to the bike and all... front sticks real well.. back doesn't like water or white lines... :spudwhat: Might have to play with pressures a bit and see what i can come up with!

I'll have to bring it around and show you one day
