Time for a new sticky tire

[Gweiloman]

Not that I want to feed the rear brake troll instructor

who has a wealth of no idea regarding sport/performance tires

but I use my rear brake accordingly

When darting/sport riding from corner to corner

I do my braking before the corner to bleed off quick what I dont want to carry

thru the turn at what is probably 60/40, 70/30, even 80/20 ratio front doing the lions share of course

Then if I need to adjust mid turn due to any unforeseen change/ riders error etc. I will slightly drag the rear

not to upset the weight balance of the chassis. As I have already settled the chassis for the turn previously

by releasing brakes before entry

In an emergency straight stop I will again be at the same ratios as above but a more forceful/quicker application & will also instinctively quickly

be slightly off the seat & move my butt as far to the rear as possible to help reduce that increased forceful weight transfer loading the front

Wow! I didn't realise that riding was so difficult

Wow! I didn't realize that riding was so difficult

Only difficult for them Harley riders/instructors that don't know a high side from a low side

But hey their tires last dang near forever

IRC IZ003

Im about to change the rear also, im at 7k 8k...it can make it too 10k....but rear isnt as velcro like as before...front is doing fine,.

I got 2 plugs in the rear as well. They are awesome i say give them a shot.

I have heard some Thai guys speak well of those tires.

I am leary though with any company that can produce such a terrible tire like those IRC road Winners

Well I shouldn't say that & truth is those roadwinner tires are probably great high mileage commuter tires as they come stock on a few bikes.

Thinking I will just stick with Pirelli Rosso II as they never did me wrong.

Thanks though

I wouldnt blame IRC for that, id blame Honda and kawasaki for specifying a tire that would cut cost to be mounted on those bikes.

IZ003 is much better than the Rosso 2, and was specifically designed for 250cc use.

But yes, if i didnt pull the trigger and give them a shot, id be scared off by the IRC brand also...but im glad i did !

Krs1. What's the current price for those IZ003's?

They have always been priced very reasonably

http://www.saikourubber.com/index.php?page=showtopics&fn=view&id=56

about 2500 baht less than Rosso II's 140/110 sizes

edit: well actually I get the Rosso II's installed & spin balanced for 7500

so that 2500 difference need to add on installation/balance of the IZ's

Totally different Tyre.. the 003's are race Tyres. The standard 001's are touring.

Personal attack reported and removed:

In using Thai Visa I agree:

1) To respect fellow members.

4) Not to flame fellow members.Flaming will not be tolerated. 'Flaming' is defined as posting or responding to a message in a way clearly intended to incite useless arguments, to launch personal attacks, to insult, or to be hateful towards other members. This includes useless criticism, name-calling, swearing and any other comments meant to incite anger.

[papa al]

I think the rear tire often wears out first because it bears more weight and transfers the driving & braking forces from the engine.

I prefer applying both brakes, especially during maximum performance (panic) stops.

For smaller bikes I like Michelin's latest technology in the Pilot Street series...designed for wet conditions traction with good longevity.

Check out online reviews,

Good prices too.
