ok, so i got a new BT012 front tire for the 900rr 2 weeks ago and started practicing stoppies.. i'm rolling 160 consistently now, but the front tire is already worn to 2/3 of the life span.. what the fu(K? I put 1.8 bar pressure in it (normal would be 2.2) is this normal? what would be a better tire then? as in which tire would last longer but still have the same grip?

 

depends on how u ride, how often you ride, and what u ride on

the race qualifier tire i had on the front for stuntwars was brand new tuesday and completely done by sunday.

i ride ... eeehm well thats not for me to judge , 3 to 5 times a week on tarmac..

 

Yeah Da liks, I got the same problem here as well.. I had a super corsa, but it was an old race track tire... I replaced that one with a brand new Pirelli tire (don't now what type srry)

And now, after only a couple of times riding, the tire also worn 2/3 of it's life time... Maybe allready 1/2

I was like: WTF !!! How quick do these things go On my moped I never replaced the front tire It lasted longer then a life time So what's up with this

 

Thats normal..

komt door de wrijving en omdat het een zachte band is

 

yeah i get the idea of WHY they wear out off course, but this is just TOO much.. i need to get a tire sponsor!

 

if your looking for damn good sticky tires on a budget check out Tomahawk Tires. (cycletires.com) Their race compound $4 is fukin ridiculously sticky and only costs $69.00 plus 9.00 for shipping.
