What brand of tires do you use?

#1 Unread post by Ladymx »

I know that tire selection is key in racing and riding in the dirt so what brand of tires do you use? How long do they last hour wise? What terrain are you using them in?

I have been using the Dunlops for the last few years and thought they have held up pretty good, but had gotten a new bike that came with Bridgestones on them and Id have to say they last longer, with 50 hours on my bike Im almost half way on the rear tire riding on hard pack conditions.

I have found that I usually use two rear tires to one front is this about average.

I know that the pros change tires every race but who has that money or backing in reality

I have used MRF Tyres for my Kawasaki Ninja. It gives better grip on road and for faster experience. The performance was too good and I have won many Bike races with this tire. [LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN] is a world class super sports bike known for cutting-edge power, technology and styling.

Usually I sue Michelin tires. Because I do care a lot about the quality and the durability.

I use Mitas E-07 on a BMW F800gs, great mileage and good feedback on dirt and on tarmac. Even in rain good grip. So overall a good 50/50 road off road tyre
