rear tyre swap to 190

  1. Manufacturers websites (not just tyres) are notoriously slow in being updated to show the latest products. Online Vendors sites, however, are usually on the ball as in this case.
     
  2. every tyre a race tyre apart from std Pirelli whats on :rolleyes: not recommended for road use unless you pack tyre warmers in your back pack
     
  3. There are loads of 180 all year road tyres on that link ;-)
     
  4. If you want something capable of performing through the most adverse muck and cr@p imaginable, that can pull up the front on part throttle even in 3rd and with total control, perhaps you would be better off with my old 247 Cota trials bike. No silly talk about slippery footrests etc there - You either had the ability to ride it or you didn't, it was that simple.
     
  5. yeh road tread but you wouldn't wanna use them in wet/ damp conditions, and that's probably some of the concerns nigelo not every road rider is on bsb pace, weve al used scrubs but you know it takes time to get heat for them to work properly even off tyre warmers at 80 deg c ,they still feel better with a lap under them ,
     
  6. Nothng wrong with those diablos, and reckon the conits would do ok. Not like you're dragging your knee around every roundabout is it...its just clearing water at this time of year. No tyre gets real heat.
     
  7. yeh conti sport attack 2 are good road tyre but don't think they do that size yet had them on a s1000rr no complaints off them
     
  8. FYI, Conti Sport attack are available in 200/55 x 17

    hope this helps
     
  9. yes mate I knew but last month when I tried to order some both suppliers didn't have any and couldn't say when they were going to get some, anyway the pannis getting part exd for a bayliss deal done ,cheers anyway.
     
  10. Just out of interest, why the PX? Am thinking of a similar option......
     
  11. Obviously not seacrhing hard enough - For others that may be interested, here they are AND in Stock Tyre MOTO CONTINENTAL CONTI-SPORTATTACK 2 - 200/55 R17 78 W: sale of tyres MOTO CONTINENTAL on Pneus Online

    FWIW, I always use Pneus online for both car and bike tyres but have no connection with them other than a very satisfied customer

    hope this helps
     
  12. yes they show on line but when I called them to order NOT in stock ,what you see on the internet showing in stock is not always the case,
     
  13. Jimmy,

    PM box full. I tried to write back but can't until you clear some space mate.

    best,
    Ian
     
  14. just emptied my box mate cheers jimmy.
     
  15. Yeah right!! That's why they guarantee all items are in stock whenever they state same. If they are not in stock, they don't list them.

    Large commercial sites are usually database driven and therefore the stock is instantly updated on basis of last order made
     
  16. ok mate you win cant be bothered to argue ,I must have called mc donalds for my tyres by mistake
     
  17. Did you get a McFlurry with that?
     
  18. nah mate they gave me a 120/70/17 sc 1 for free,:biggrin:
     
  19. Typical...free things are never of use to anyone :wink:
     
  20. just googled new panigale tyre available 350x17x97.5 guaranteed to work in snow, on track ,and gets 150000 miles out of a rear , sounds good its online so it must be true :tongue:
