Guest aj howard Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hey, On the way out to Mid-Ohio this past weekend I picked up a nail in my rear tire. Lucky for me, I pulled right over into a gas station and low-and-behold they had a cheap assed tire plugging kit.. Which worked and got me back on the road.. So What tire do you reccomend for my bike... I don't race the bike, but I like the twisties... and what about tire size.. is anyone here running a 170 on the rear?? ( I did a search, most of the info is on the older/smaller rear tire) thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have Diablos, mostly ride twisties too, they're very good. Handling, esp turn in, much better, more grip than BT 020's - wear a little quicker. At edges Diablos are very consistent & predictable & have good feel. You might want try Diablo Corsas - even more grip but more wear. Then Super Corsas more of both.... I tried a 170 Diablo. Turn in is better & no downside in riding. Only problem for me was theoretical - figured cos profile was spread more than 180 on 5.5" rim tyre would run off tread earlier at max lean. So I went back to 180. There are long discussions on this somewhere back there.... KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Foster Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hey AJ, I vote for the Diablo Stradas. I've got 2000+ so far. Handling is A-OK and I hope to get 10K from the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
