Re: New Tires Delayed
At least it wasn't your new Shoei! Abit off topic do you change your own tires and if so how do you balance them?

Nope, I take my wheels to a local shop that does them for $20/tire.

Re: New Tires Delayed
Those tires are pretty old tech, Conq. Why not a more modern set for your XX?

Love the BT020s. This XX came with crappy BT56's on it. Glad to get rid of them.

The Bt 020 do better burnouts.

I wonder how they compare with a Diablo Strada or Pilot Road?

No contest. Or a Metzeler Z-6, for that matter. Unless you LIKE the front tire to cup.

I never had any cupping issues. I run at the specified PSI though... 42 rear, 35 front.
