papa al Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Recently, changed the heavy tires on the Lifan-X-200 to much smaller, lighter models. Noticing better acceleration and braking & livelier handling. ???? The KTM Duke 200 has Perelli Diablo Rossi Sport [now 5100baht mounted ] F 110/70-17 tires on 3” rim R 140/70-17 on 4” rim. Good tread but cracking side-wall. ~3 y/o.; 10Kkm. Will be changing to fresh-from-the-VeeRubber-press, in 3-weeks: F 100/80 on the 3” rims R 130/70 & on the 4” rims VRM-251 [B2150 delivered,] Rain-tires. Cool looking.

Interesting, my Pirelli MT 60 RS on the Scrambler didn't develop cracks so fast but I'm not sure where they were manufactured. Not near my bikes so can't check. Have taken the leap of faith and got a set of IRC tires for the CBR. Actually very happy with those for over 9 months now. Would do again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 IRC & VRC both make a lot of tires here. The Vee's cost 1/2 as much, as P. Albeit 1-size smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they comparable to Michelin? I was looking at the new City Extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same results this time. ////// They look better too, both size-wise and the unique rain-tire tread pattern. Maybe will hold a little better in rainy. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) The day after mounting, 1st ride, notice rear wash-out on wet corner. Turns out, near flat. Air-up at local shop then back to iMoto. They dunk-tank checked. Couldn't find leak, but seems ok now. Edited October 5, 2022 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
