connda Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm looking for a store that sells motorcycle tires. I drive a Honda Dream 125. Most of my driving is on the highway. I want to get some quality tires on my bike for all of the obvious reasons. Can anyone recommend a store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakchaingmai Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think IRC tires are a good thai brand for dream 125 i would buy them at shang chai motors on the main road where the arcade bus station it is on the left hand side driving towards the city big honda sign can't miss it .

llp Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 IRC tires are good value and I use those as well. Cheaper are the "quick" brand. More expensive and better quality are Dunlop/Michelin tires and top of the line would be Pirelli. Not sure what brands are available for the Honda Dream as these brands I looked into for my Honda Click 17" rims. I use the stores on Chang Moi Rd, heading away from the moat there are a couple shops on the right side, they can change them for you there as well for an extra small charge. Check you PSI after as few shops use a gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjmark Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have put 35,000km on my Wave 125 - much on the highway. I just put on some Vee Rubber (had Thai Dunlops before) , and I think they are great. Sticky, strong, cheap, and made in Thailand. Get the biggest that'll fit on the rims. Any motocy shop in Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyMcCollum Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Donlop T900 80/80 17 front and 90/80 rear. Much wider and stronger tire and gives you much more security while riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wow. No luck today finding motorcycle tires. I probably passed 20 stores selling car tires, but no motorcycle tires. Did a lot of driving and only came across small motorcycle shops selling a limited number of tires, and no English speakers, so I couldn't explain what I wanted (the widest, high quality tire with a better than average speed rating). I speak some Thai, but not enough to get those specification understood. So still looking for recommendation, especially for a shop where someone speaks at least some English. I really want to get new rubber on my bike. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james24 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 check out the shops on the same road as the new Spice in town, the one that leads to kad luang, forgotten what its called though, there are a few shops that sell all types of tyres and loads of mods etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
