Okay, I am wondering if I should spend the money to swap out some of the tires I have on and not on bikes. Here's a quick rundown:
Sprint ST, my ride. F- Metzler Roadtech Z6, R- Michelin Pilot Power. Metz calls the RT Z6 a sport-touring, Mich calls the Power a "extreme road riding and track day" tire. Isn't the rear gonna wear out MUCH faster than the front? Worth the $30 or so my closest mc tire shop will want to take it off and put on something else (dismount, mount, balance, tire cost not included) or should I wait till it wears out, or should I offer it for sale? Very few miles on both tires, about 1000, prob. less.
Bandit 1200. Gonna let my buddy ride it this spring on our 5-day mc trip, then it's for sale. F- Metzlet RT Z6, R- Michelin MacAdam 90. I know lots of folks here hate Mcadams- seems like the opposite situation as the Spring. But perhaps not worth the money to swap, given I am selling soon? My buddy is not a noob, but not experienced with the torque the Bandit has (his current bike, which he rides only occasionally, is a Kawi Vulcan 750)
99 GSXR 600. Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier F and R. Not really gonna do anything here, but opinions of these tires appreciated.
96 Kawi ZX6. F- Sportmax II, but worn. Will need to be replaced soon. R- Dunlop Powermax D207. Opinions?
88 Kat1100- stock wheels and bias tires- F Dunlop K591, R- ArrowMax GT501. Lots of tread left, no dryrot. I'd LOVE to put Bandit wheels on it, and use modern tires, but it's gonna be for sale, don't think I'd get my money back doing that. Agree?
New, never mounted: Set of Dunlop Sportmax D207. What to do with them? Keep em for the Sprint? Something else?
Used, good condition, age unknown (Just too lazy to check the numbers...)
Michelin M59 160/60VR17
Metz. Roadtech Z6, 170/60ZR17
Dunlop Sportmax D220 ST (Sport Touring) F and R, sizes to fit the Bandit.
The Mich and Metz. that are used, I have nothing to put them on, currently, so I guess best thing to do is to sell 'em? Value guesses?
I am LISTENING. Let me know what you think. Experience with any of those tires esp. appreciated. Thanks.
