Title: tire size that best suits my riding?
Post by: Susuki_Jah on August 26, 2005, 10:49:28 AM
ok I know there have been alot of tire size debates, and I am not trying to start another one of those. But I am in the market for new tires. My rear is worn flat and my front has started warping with bubbles in it (really wierd).

anyway's here is my riding style.

I love twisty roads and tight turns and I love to lane split, I love to ride the bike and do nifty little tricks and what not that most would say is stupid. I also like to cruise at times and just take in the wind against my chest.

so which tire size would you say works best? for that style of riding. I have the Michelin Macadam's on right now, they were used tires when i got them but good tread and they lasted me a little over a year. they stick well .   Im just having a hard time seeing which tires I would like in person because there arent many motorcycle tire dealers around here.

Stock size.  If you want more traction, get a stickier tire.  And check your pressure often.

I figured as much that the stock size would be best, the macadam's gave me plenty of traction and tire pressure was always good, plus any stickyer and ill be paying more money out for the amount that I ride the bike lol.
