Tires DUNLOP or Maxxis
Minimum ko is Maxxis.
None of the above. Safety mo nakasalalay dyan. Always remember buy it nice or buy it twice. Go for reputable brands like Dunlop Michellin Pirelli or Maxxis.
One of the best tires on a Harley. Have had a problem in the past with 1 tire that was fitted on front for customer, but overall, really outstanding tire. The factory tires are also made by Dunlop, but the typical lifespan is around 3/4 of a Elite at best.
I’m 84 kg, use Maxxis tires with an 2.5 Assegai EXO+ tire up front and a 2.4 DHR II DoubleDown casing in the rear. I ride and race reasonably hard/fast. I’m using 22/23, but when I have an EXO+ casing out back I have to up that a couple psi to keep from denting my rim.
If you’re dealing with rough roads and gravel check out the dunlop mutants. I have them on my mt09 and i love them. They handle great in the twist and not afraid to bomb a dirt road. Great tire ill buy again and again
Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.
My wife tried Q4's once - she loved the feel but completely used up a rear in a weekend on a SV650!
I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.
For those who wonder, don’t!! I thought they would be all season, not shit ass summer road tires. Well… 0 control with \~ 1” of snow. Thankfully < 15mph but even ABS couldn’t fire or work. $3k cost for blizzaks, rims and $1000 deductible later.
The 18 inch wheels with low profile tires are rough, loud, and I've had 2 flats. The stock dunlop tires suck.
