New tire

[1olbull]

Maybe change the header to Rocket III std/roadster because some one WILL ask?
Good job BTW

Well the Rocket's been around for 10 years and it's a pretty safe bet that there's been one or two discussions about tyres. There's only 3 to choose from, unless you're going to try a wheel barrow tyre or something equally ridiculous. Some days I'll spell it all out for the umpteenth time and other days I take the same stance as the questioner ie can't be bothered. Sorry.

Want to discuss Wallaby's and Roo's and other stuff down under for us Yanks ?

Dunlop 404 F for my front. B A M, yet another choice

I neglected the Dunlop 404 because it is bias ply.

Sadly true, the G701 is "H" rated (130 mph) compared to the Max's "Z" now noted as "V" (149 mph) for speed; however, 130 mph ain't bad.
The 72 (782 pounds) versus the 86 (1168 pounds) load ratings are moot IMHO.

I ran the G701 for about 4000 miles and can firmly say it sux!!!! Amazing what happens when you swap it out for a old cobra you had laying around. Like night and day.

Good to know, Amigo.
I haven't tried a G701 one as I use 140s on the front.
So far on the front:
Metzeler OEM, Michelin CommanderII, Dunlop D251, Avon Cobra & just about ready for Avon Azaro
So far on the rear:
Metzeler OEM, Bridgestone Excedra Max X 4 & just about ready for another

Ya I had the Bridgy on at RAAX now I wished I had changed it out before!!! It will be a good one to start the burn pile with

That could have been part of your confidence issue in corners too, Scot

Don't forget to bend the body and the neck, Amigo!!!

Both my tires were shagged out when I left the Hub. First thing I did when I got home was order new tires. A Max for the rear and Cobra up front.
