Reddit mentions: The best street motorcycle tires

Thx boss. Seems like they have the 120/80-18 for ~$60 on Amazon which seems like a great price.

Alternatively, may grab a new front wheel as well. If I did, Revzilla has a nice combo going for $111.

Would I be fine with 90/90-21TL for the front? TL vs TT if I want to shop around? Since the stock is 80/100, would this have any noticeable effect on my speedo? Thinking 80100% vs 9090% is only a mm difference..

I have these in 190/50 on my FZ1...theyre okay but theyre a great value

Well, what size do you need? On my WR250f I ran Shinko 705's, at $60 for each tire, that was a damn good deal for me. They lasted several thousand miles and were good if I ever needed to go off-road, and had great handling on the road.

Front is a Shinko Fat Tire Rear is a Motoz Tractionator desert HT and yes, I do love them, but I’m on the fence about running a D606 next time on the rear. The tractionator is good, but so is the Dunlop.

Here is a list of upgrades to the bike, and some of the gear I brought with me.

Fun fact: Every part for every elite 80 ever made should fit. They didn't change anything throughout the production run. Except the headlight, you have the old version(upgrade to the modular version if yours ever dies. You'll spend about $100 to upgrade and then you can just replace the $11 bulb.), and the front brake, you have the old version.

They look great. Here's what I ordered, but they don't look like they'll fit, even though Amazon said they would.

Thanks. Which tires do you recommend out of these choices?

I'm looking into https://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Pilot-Road-Touring-Radial/dp/B00LUUS5DS (front and real)

vs

Yeah since you noted those i looked up the other prices...


levers are $15, not $100
https://www.amazon.com/Black-Adjustable-Motorcycle-Clutch-Levers/dp/B00CQNEZ5U

tires are $160 for the pair... not $400.
https://www.amazon.com/Continental-Conti-Motion-Touring-Radial/dp/B002FKHNTE


Looks like he's covering labor prices as well...

This
It's been a pretty decent tire for me.

Is that the stock Metzler? I get better performance and mileage from the Avon. Not sure what size you use, this is for my Raider.

Nah, they're correct. There are arrows that indicate the direction on the sidewall to make sure.

You can get a new tire from eBay or Amazon for 60 bucks. Linked below for you.

Then call around and find a place to mount and balance off the bike. If your willing to put in a little effort, you could have a new tire for less than 100.

Found this on Amazon based on /u/almondmilk 's comment. The tread pattern seems to match the one on the Busa.

EDITED.

looking for a 3.50 x 8 that can withstand high speed.


EDIT: this maybe the tire i saw on amazon, http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-50-8-Michelin-S83-Scooter-Front-Rear-Tire/321380077473?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D21235%26meid%3D6516292845835822168%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D9374%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D141134222462&rt=nc

Pilot Street I believe. These..

The rear tire that would match the front I just ordered is this tire.

ah shit my bad my man, its this model

currently back in my maxi scoot, but that thing needs maintenance too, so just these simple new tires was ordered, not sure if they are any good, but itll do for commuting I suppose.

I do live in norway, where the winter has been kinda cold, but this tyre was ordered as they dont usually service these kinds of bikes.
