Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

these tires did not work for me. way too tall and very little grip. even after I roughed them up. I've never fallen so much. I'm back to the kendas, they work the best so far

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

I have talked with a few people about this. I just started up at PK this year. Big guy with hockey shin pads on. I ordered a set of the maxis street tire as a suggestion of one of the guys that races indoor in Europe. I should have them by the last practice day. Come up and say hi, Ill let you know how they work. I am running the IRC's right now and they seem alright.

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

I have the best luck with Heidenaus up front and the sava slick out back..... This is on really slick cold pavement..... But for the money the hmmm I think the model is C-17 from cheng shen works really good as long as you run the lower psi with alot of contact patch to heat them up. I had to screw the tires to the rim to prevent ripping the valve stem off the tube in the rear.....HP baby

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

you must mean the maxiss m6114. look and sounds good, but not sure a 100/90 would do well on my stock honda rims. they are a little narrow for that big of a tire. I think a 80/90 or 2.75-3.0 gives a better profile. correct me if I'm wrong

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

I am going to try the 3.5 on a stock wheel with a longer swing arm for clearance. Kyle from 2k runs a 3" and has had good luck with it. So I think the profile would be ok. He has told me that the added height in the rear tire makes turn in a bit quicker and evens the lift that you get from +1 forks and stiffer springs.

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

im only seeing the m6114 in 100/90 which is equivalent to almost 4". are you using a different model tire?

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

The one I have, actually have two, are 3.5x10. I picked them up at bikebandit. If you look closely at the pic you can see its a 3.50x10. Kyle runs the Bridgestone 3 inch.

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

Thats strange, The drop down only gives option of 100/90. How did they work last week on the new track?

Re: 10" tires suggestion for indoor motard

I dint actually run them. Cracked the case out screwing around in my office parking lot, so I had other things to get ready for last sunday. I should have one on the back this week. Hopefully the track will be etched so tractions should not be as big of issue.
