Koreo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I know nothing about bike tires. I'm looking for a new rear tire for my 300. 140 size. I daily ride my 300 some looking for something that will do well in the dry and wet. What are some choices? 140 size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Depends on how you ride. You have grip, wet performance and lifespan. You will never get 100% of all three in one tire. If you commute with occasional spirited sport touring then get a bt023, contimotion or similar tire. If you plan on scraping pegs daily, a more sport oriented tire like bt016 or Dunlop d203 or something similar would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koreo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 And it seems like none of the contis don't come in 140. Skips right over it. Tf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Get a set of decent tires, screw those IRCs. Look at some Pirellis thats what I run on the FZ1 and the Cockhauler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of IRC Road Winners that came on my 250. 8,000 miles of dry & wet commuting bliss to date & it looks like they will go 3 or 4 thousand more.
