Kamala Harris' Election Prospects Slip in Prediction Market Amid Trump's Surge

[billd766]

Hi Guys

My Phantom will be needing new tyres in a few weeks time and I have no idea what to get this time.

The originals were stock IRC and I replaced them at 15,000 with an updated set of IRC Wild Flare WF920F tyres and they will have lasted about the same distance.

The front tyre is 90/90-17 49P and the rear is 130-90 x 15 M/C 66P.

Both are tubeless.

I use the bike as a daily runner and in most weathers except snow and ice.

What would be the best brand to buy this time?

G'day Bill<BR><BR>went through the same saga last year, Metzler were recommended also Michelin and Dunlop, due to the difficulty of ordering though in deepest darkest Phetchabun. I ended up with stock IRC's.<BR><BR>Seemingly the Metzlers are soft and sticky and tend to wear qyuicker than the mahoghany of IRC.<BR><BR>Happy Trails Matey<BR><BR>Chris

Let me guess the tire recommendations for the Honda Phantom TA200 did not upgraded since 2007. The problem is that in the tire market a lot changed, buying recommended Metzler tires from a shop from Ratchada Rd., be carefull this tires could actual be 3-years old.............

Thanks Richard but BKK is about 400 km away and I am hoping for somewhere local.

However saying that the guy I went to last year didn't have what I wanted so he ordered them in for me and he is only 75 km down the road.

I will have a look online and see what is available then see what the guy down in Lat Yao that I went to last year can do.

I must get up and see you sometime soon.

Afternoon Matey

Likewise, I must get down to see you sometime also, hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I'll give you a buzz soon

Cheers and good luck with the tyre hunt. Please keep me posted as Phitsanulok is pretty well off for bike shops and ordering them should be pretty easy, my stock IRC's are about one year old still plenty of tread on them but I figure I'd like to get a grippier tyre.

Cheers Oppo

Grippier??? You mean like treacle sticking to a blanket.

Have a look at a new tyre thread on a different forum.

Off topic I hear that Gillette will be getting a lot more razor blades now the Ark is gone.

Nothing is wrong with IRC tyres. BUT they are made for longevity.

NOT for grip if you have ever tried other tyres like Pirelli's you would know that.

[snowflake]

the IRC will not e a problem for beginners, but if you do some active riding- you will find out thaat they have limitations...

ummm. yes and no... i had the original cbr150 with IRC 77's was never that happy with how the front end would slide if you used to much front brake. changed to Michelin pilot sporties and it was like night and day...better.....

Saying that the tyres on the new 2011 CBR's are a bit more grippy than the old style 77's. And as long as they are warm they are ok but NOT good.

Phantom IRC tyres are similar to the 77's but suit the bike well.

even for beginners the IRC are very slippery when braking

had them on my 2009/10 D-tracker 250 and I m sure they where on my Phantom years ago, and they have rather limited traction.

Have IRC tyres renewed on my Phantom recently front and back and no problems .Do not find them slippy ,but then the Phantom is hardly a racer .

True that the Phantom is not exactly a rocketship but having had 2 sets of IRC I thought it was time for a change.
