Posted: 19:07 - 14 Mar 2014 Post subject: Is this tyre really square? or am i being dramatic? |
|
|
basically i bought the bike about a month ago and i am not happy with the back tyre. It seems square to me and is not filling me with confidence when i lean in a corner as i feel i need to lean further and then it suddenly drops and i get a bit of a shock.
So basically, would you change it or am i being dramatic and need to MTFU?

Id change it. It will feel awful to ride like that.
The lean wont be gradual. It will, as you say, 'fall' off the edge of the flat part of the tyre.
The sides also seem to have worn rather flat also! ____________________ Suzuki GT250 x7------- Fazer 600------CB250RS------Aprilia Rally 70----- Bandit 600

Good grief! That's barely worn in
If you do renew it are you going to hang onto it and offer it to poor hard-up peeps on here? ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 10 years, 25 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
