Tyres - Swallow and Deli or VRM?

[Kiwithl]

Has anyone used either of these brands on a full sized motorbike? If so, a penny for your thoughts. (Free would be better...)

Both have the sizes and tread patterns I want (adventure type). VRM a bit more expensive on lazada.

Thanks.

What bike is it for if it's not a supersport bike doesn't matter you would find out if there any good in the way you ride whatever way that is.

On my big bike I always use quality tire products.

 

MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 currently, very happy with them.

 

Your life depends of good road contact on a bike, I am not saying the tires mentioned in OP are bad but I don't know them at all, so I would never buy them.

Then go for it...I've used quite a few of the locally produced MX tyres and they seen to hold up

Mich are good for sure but give Dunlop Trailmax a try an excellent tyre at a reasonable cost never let me down on my Versys where as the Pirelli Scorpions that came with the bike from new cracked up just after a year.

VeerRubber are very good and underrated here by most expats simply because they are cheap.  (tax).   My Klim Krios Pro is 40K here but 19K in Australia where I bought it.   Read western forums and they are highly rated for adventure use.  I cannot comment on street/sport tires but I have tested quite a few back to back.  VeeRubber VRM 163 for example were much better than the Heidenau K60 scout which were double the price at the time.

The reason for that is most are OCD or believe the Utube Vids, most of the time don't have a clue about motorbike tyres just believe the sales talk. ????????

On my chicken chaser I have ND Rubber but they are not dual porpoise?

 

Won't find them listed on the best 8 scooter tires on YouTube.

I found Deestone tires to be well made - ones on our town car holding up well.

After being told by many 'Knowledgable' people that they were garbage.

Expect the same for your tire choices.

The Pirelli CiTy tires on my CRF are also made in Indonesia - and are excellent.

Heard the same about Chinese truck tires in Canada when they first appeared - garbage.

Proven to be as good as any other brand - and cheaper to boot.

Don't sell the small guys short - if they make a tread pattern you like - go for it.

Thanks everyone. Probably go with vrm 163. I like vrm 206 aswell but 163 are more realistic for my riding.

Dunlop's good, cost more probably and harder to find.
