tires

My mechanic and I seem to be at odds over the type of tire I need on the back of a 2007 FZ6 w/ 12.5K miles on it. The front tire is Dunlop SportMax (original OEM?) but not at the wear bars. The rear tire is a Metzler Roadtec Z6 with lots of wear on the sidewalls from the prior owner...

I have quotes from two different dealers and haven't played one against the other because I wasn't sure of the quality of the tires. I need new front and rear. The first dealer quoted me ~$400 for Avon Storm 2 claiming thats what they put on the FJR. The second dealer quoted me $158 for...

I am having trouble determining what tires I want to put on my bike. By the end of the summer I will probably need to change my tires and I plan on changing the tires. These are all the same Bikes and year.

So last Friday I got a flat tire while riding to my parents house in LI, and since my tires were on their last leg anyway, I skipped getting it plugged and ordered a new set of Bridgestone BT-023's. While the bike was off the road awaiting new rubber, I also installed a set of FZ1 bars. Got...

Decided to ride the bike from Manhattan to my parents house on the island for the weekend since some out of town friends are around, and I am going to a baseball game today with a few of them. While riding, the bike started to feel a little off. Wasn't as responsive as usual, and felt a little...

I've narrowed my tire choices down to 2... I'm hoping you guys can help me pick between these. They are almost exactly the same price.

My local Cycle Gear has these on sale for $209! Not a bad deal and I imagine that's all Cycle Gear stores. I've been on these and the front tire is wearing the 40% more miles they claimed. I'm getting near time for the rear but still have more miles to put on it and it's wearing better than...

So I just bought a 2005 FZ6 as my first bike. The bike is in pretty good condition but it looks like the tires need to be replaced. I don't have much mechanical experience but I was considering changing the tires myself. I was hoping that this bike would give me a chance to learn a few...

I've got my 04 Fz6 and I noticed today a small piece of rubber peeling off the side of the rear tire just above the sidewall along the edge of the tread. Looking at it i noticed there are a few weather cracks along the sidewall. :disapprove: The tires are Continental Contiforce tires. I'll...

I searched the forum for an answer, but didn't find one, so here it goes. How long does it take a street tire to warm up? Now that it's in the 30's and 40's in the mornings and evenings I'd like to be sure my tires are warm before leaning the bike into a turn. I've noticed that just starting...
