VFR 400 Tyres

Post by Urahara » Wed Apr 21, 2010 3:11 pm

I apologise in advance if this subject has been done to death.

Looking to change tyres on recently bought VFR and was wondering what you guys would
recommend?? Ideally looking for an all round tyre for fair weather and dry riding.

Thanks all :smile:

Round black rubber ones. Those wodden ones don't offer much grip today.

NC30

So you want 120/60/17 - 150/60/18

Bt-92 Rear (Sport Mileage)

"An all round radial tyre for mid-size motorcycles with wet performance, riding comfort, and controllability"

BT-92 up front too.. or maybe a BT-090 Pro (race) up front if you like to push the front hard.

Yeah sorry mate I couldnt resist it I was in one of those silly moods last night however on a serious note you dont have to go far or do a search to find out about tyres as there is a thread on the general discussion forum about dual compound tyres for 400s and I am sure there are others in the last 5 pages or so as people are always asking about tyres. :grin:

No worries i found it funny :grin:

Just like the worthington advert said, if men didn't take the piss we would all be wearing moisturiser and drop our pints from slippery hands!

:peace:
