tires

I was thinking Metzler Roadtech 01. Any other suggestions? I got 3k miles out of the stock tires. Getting a little more would be OK but performance first.

I'm thinking of putting the Shinko 705 on my bike. The stock rear tire is 180/55/17 and rim size,e is 5.50x27. The closest Shinko size is 170/60/17 and recommended for 4.5" rims. Has anyone tried this size on our rims? Will there be any issue because the our bike rims are larger than the...

the owners manual states that the operation of the ABS and DCT will be altered by the use of different tires. It doesn't say how..... I noticed that my ABS seems more aggressive with the TKC80s installed. Anybody else found noticeable differences in the operation of these features using...

Just ordered a set of MT60s. Curious how they handle. Does anyone have these tires? I'll be up in Wyoming 1-2x per month this year for work (in and around Yellowstone). I figured some more dirt-worthy tires might be fun.

I'm running TKC 80 Conti . Are there any 180/ 17's out yet that I don't know about . Hiedeniau or Mitas ???

I have been looking at the big block enduro tires... makes the bike look badass

At 4500 miles I have about 1 more ride on my tires. My local Yam dealer had 40% off tires so I picked up a set of Pilot 4s for $319 and they mount them for free off the bike. Not bad. It looks pretty straight forward to remove the wheels. Does the exhaust need to be removed, what size nuts...

Thinking about swapping the OEM tires for the Pilot Road 4s. Now that winter is approaching, I'll probably wait until the spring thaw to throw them on. But everything I've read, they sound like they transform the experience and are an awesome tire in every respect. Curious if anyone has put...

Just moved from California to Idaho. Which means I'm going to be getting some snow this winter. :) Are there any really good snow tires out there that fit the Hyper? If I can get great traction in the cold/snow, I might be willing to take the Hyper out this winter. Otherwise, it would sit in the...

Hi It would be nice to know what tires you are using for on-road driving. Fabricate: Type/model: Your experience concerning: - Handling in corners - Stability at higher speed - Dry grip - Wet grip - Braking - Whatever

Hey guys, quick question: I just did a 200 mile ride today and knew I needed to top off my tires a bit beforehand (I have the Garmin TPMS, but for some reason only the front sensor is working, but it showed the rear as 3 PSI low so I can only assume the front was low as well). So I stopped at...

Hi All. Having just sold my 8 month old Ducati Monster I am now eagerly awaiting delivery of my ordered Hyperstrada. I live in Pattaya, Thailand and am told buy Ducati Pattaya that I will be first in this region to take delivery of 2013 Hyperstrada...Cool or what? Ok , I ride quite hard and...

The new 821 Hyper comes with 3 different types of tyres: - Hyperstrada: Pirelli Scorpion Trail (Trail) - Hypermotard: Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 (Sport/GT) - Hypermotard SP: Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP (Sport) These are the tyres proposed in France but I assume that it is the same for everyone...
