What kind of tires you running? - Page 6

BobTheBiker · 11-19-2008, 02:04 PM

I"m running a Duro HF918 rear right now on my Hurricane. going to get a matching front soon too. I think its a good street tire, bias ply construction but hey, it fits nicely and feels really stable.

I buy my tires directly from a shop here that I absolutely love. anyone who knows pureacceleration will know what I'm talking about. I love spending time down there, even if I dont buy nothin, the shop still rocks just to hang out at.

just curious-i need some new tires...i commute, but its a 5min commute. seriously. im not a agressive knee dragger, but im riding the twisties and learning, a trackday is in the future.. i have a totally different bike to drag race, so this one will never see the strip, and im rarely on the freeway for more than 80miles at a time. '00 gsxr 750.

was lookin at Bridgestone BT002's just because i saw a deal on them. other than that, havent really looked.

what say you? pp's? o16's?

My bike has Dunpoop 208's on it now... They are to the wearbars and I wouldn't be surprised if I rotated the tire and saw metal someplace... Didn't think they'd crap out that quick on a 450 round trip jaunt for turkey... Got some decisions to be makin' now...

I'm suprised you didn't just buy new tires right away OSP... those 208's are fuck'n shit. you considering any sport touring tires with the lack of corners down there?

BobTheBiker · 11-28-2008, 12:40 AM

D208s? OSP boy, you gotta bring your ass over to this side of the state once or twice, I got a killer shop for ya to visit down in brandon. get some 2CTs on that TL man. that shit will feel infinitely better.

Jesus Ebbs, I haven't even had the bike a fucking week yet... Tires were on the short list when I first looked at it though...

I'd be more than happen to... What is this shop's name? I could certainly make a voyage out that way...

2CT's are where I'm leaning, but I might just say fuck it and rock some Road 2's... I don't see myself pushing this bike in any of the non-existent corners anytime soon.

I had Conti's on the 954... I was surprised by them... they wore well and stuck pretty good, but the rear tire's profile was similar to that of a top fuel dragster's rear...
