Turbo tires

[shade]

There's some older threads on good tires for big power bikes, but those are a few years old. Any recommendations on good tires out now. Not looking for a Shinko, just a good street tire.

I’m running a dragmax currently and it’s obviously wearing very fast. I was thinking of trying the Q5’s next.

we've seen your videos...don't blame the tire...
lmao

The Q5 may(might, maybe) last a little longer than their Dragmax, but anything with that much torque and a loose nut behind the bars, is gonna eat tires...
lol

What's the difference between the q5 and q5s?
Manufacturer website didn't really specify. Appreciate the input

you should ask Michelin, Metzeler, pirelli , etc. to construct a turbo-fitting tire

my buddy with 380-400 hp at the rear wheel, rides a standard angel GT 2 at the rear with the (58) sign on its flank
and that tire can stand also the 300 km/h + / 220 mph +

not for 10000 km but for some minutes here aon our free autobahn

so what?

sorry i wrote a bit .ullshit
at the rear the tire wears a (72) as load-index
the (58) is at the front
both numbers in brackets !! only then they last/stand more than 270 km/h .

I run a hookup too and a stealth on front no complaints here. I like them.

I just recently swapped out my gen3 OEM rear tire with a Dunlop Q5S and it has been hooking really well -- really leaning on traction control to not 12 o'clock in third and fourth :-D
