BadTrainDriver Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Found a nice set...big thanks to Coyote!!!Listen up folks...can anybody help a brother out?My Concours14 tires don't have the life left in them for an extended upcoming trip...and I'm getting short on time before I leave...so I'm throwing this out here to see if anyone has a set of new tires I could give them cash for. I'm willing to pay fair market price for what you've got...or I can just order you a new set and have them delivered to you.I need to pick the tires up no later that noonish this Friday so I can get them installed...I'm leaving Saturday morning.I know this is short notice...but any help would be appreciated.BTD.

jbot Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I think sportbike track gear is selling the dunlop q2s for 210. They ship fast. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm going to the Pony tomorrow to see what they've got...and will call STG(they've got the Pirelli Angel ST's that I'd like to use).My trip got "extended"...originally not as long as planned now...and I don't think my tires will make it. Original plan was to replace the tires after the trip.BTD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 190/55 would be more better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Iron Pony has your sizes in stock. Rear tiresFront tiresDepending on where you're going, may I suggest the Qualifiers? I know a lot of people don't like that tire, but on my ZX10 they did great for the trip to Colorado and back. I ended up getting around 6k miles out of them, and they were fairly sticky.

MidgetTodd Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Why?BTD.taller and way better cornering. This^Really improves the turn in and handling as well as corner grip I will never go back to a 50 and I've got several others that I talked into the 55 and they all say the same as well.

BadTrainDriver Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I appreciate the offer crf69...but I'm leaving at the ass crack of dawn on Saturday.If I don't find anything before I leave...I may look into a 55 series tire for when I get home...but I'll have to modify my rear hugger...as the clearance is tight with a 50 series(one bracket will move...but the other is fixed due to mounting design). I have heard of guys running the 180/55 due to the "profile"...but not the 190/55.As far as cornering...I'm completely happy with how the bike handles now...and can scrape peg feelers at will...and have no chicken strips on the front or rear. I'm not the average C14 rider...not bragging...just stating. Thanks for the info and offer.BTD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 190/55 would be more better.I was going to order the 55's. They are getting hard to find, unless you want to pay a BIG premium for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
