Tires?

Postby relliott » Mon May 28, 2018 12:12 am

My Pilot Road 4s are near end life. They’ve served me very well for daily commuting year around in all weather, and I’ve gotten about 16k miles on the rear tire and I have no idea how many the front got because I bought the motorcycle used. The only issue I’ve had with the PR4 is the front tire cupping, and I’ve kept it at 42psi but it still did it. I lean over using all but about 1/8inch of edge on the tires, and even that small edge has spotty wear from lean so I definitely appreciate a grippy tire.

Anyway, please let me know what type of tire you think is best for the RT for year round commuting.

Jim VB I’ll send you a note, I’d love to swing by and have you teach me how to change a tire! :D

You know the 5s are out now. They don't make them for a GSA or I would be using them. Hence sticking with the 4s. And I keep mine at 37/41.
