oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm pretty limited on tire choices for the WR, and the OEM bt090s are smoked. Has anyone ever tried the kenda k671s? I assume they won't be a sticky track tire , but for commuting purposes they appear " OK". anyone have any experience? https://www.denniskirk.com/642403.sku?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&gclid=CLH7xJHEsb8CFTBqMgodEEYAfA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) 140/70H-17 ?There's a few choices. Remember the difference between bias and radial. They don't mix well. http://www.bikebandit.com/rear-140-70-17-street-motorcycle-tires/n1348-4294966285-4294966933-4294966937 http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/motorcycle/140%2070h%2017 Michelin does make a Pilot Street in that size, but it might be a bit hard to find. edit: I get the point though, if looking for aggressive tread for some traction. Even more limited, I think. Edited July 7, 2014 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'd run PP in a heart beat if I could get them in 140s. The 150s don't seem to jive well on the WR .I looked hard for the pilot street and haven't found it in stock yet :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The power will fit right on there. That's what most run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx3vfr Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 With the lower power and lightweight of an SM bike, you could use anything your little heart disires without worrying to much about wearing them down quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've got bt090s on now, and they have about 2300 miles on them, and the rear is toast. Fronts still decent. I will probably just go with the bridgestones again for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskeyes Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 They have Pirelli Diablos in the size. They are very similar to the Powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I don't know what you ride or what kind of pace you ride but I can tell you they are not even close at the pace I like to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskeyes Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I haven't used Rossos but I am on my second set of Angel GTs and am very happy with them. I have no prefrence with tires but I usually alternate between Pirellis and Michelins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just take your advice and steer away from them. Good looking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.504 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) i've had decent luck with http://www.smalltires.com when i got tires for my mini-moto (cause i run the stock/dirt 12/14 wheels) i searched for 140/70/17, they have bt003's in that size. those are a pretty nice tire.
