Re: Tires available in Super10 sizes, a comprehensive list

Have 1000 miles on a set of Dunlop Trailmax TR91' and they seem like no warm up is needed, very sticky on the mountain curves with nice lean in, even some logging roads, 1' deep rivers (no mud) with out any problems. Time will tell on mileage, got 8700 miles out of the oe Metzeler exp'.
Happy with them so far.
Still had 1/16" till the rear was down on the wear bars at 9400 miles on these TR91' and replaced them with another set of TR91' before the trip, have no complaints with these all terrain tires.

This is a resource list of tires which is intended to be kept up to date. Basically, a "Cliff's Notes" (TrikePilot's term) like what Elizilla started which shows what fits, and hopefully we can include some basic notes. For example, percentage street/dirt, a range of mileages, speed rating, etc.

Elizilla started this and did it well. The problem with Elizilla's list is that it's gotten to be a 9 page long discussion that wanders and the thread misses a lot of what is in the other 260 tire-related threads. So at this point it's tough to use as a resource.

The concept is that this thread will be a community property for replacement from time to time when we need to update the list. Keep posting away in the new Board, titled "Tires and Wheels" as you normally would, and we are looking for a volunteer to occasionally update this thread with material from the rest of the new Tire/Wheel/Disc board. If you post on this thread to update it - thank you. But realize that since this is a resource thread, posts may be deleted after being incorporated into this first post which will have the material we want to keep boiled down.

So what is below started with an alphabetized version of the original Elizilla list (Thanks again!) from the other thread - and adds material from other posts:


Note that only maximum mileages of rear tires are from forum posts are shown, when available. (Rear tires are typically first to wear out.) These numbers are to provide a rough comparison, which does NOT provide data about wet / dry handling properties or other aspects.

I found a tire calculator. It gives all of the information about any number of questions,such as: how many revs per mile per given size. How tall is the tire, what is the inflated width and in some cases load rate information.

The site in on Discount tire.com The calculator saved a lot of time and trouble when I was trying to mount a different size tire on my Moto Guzzi Stelvio.

Hope this helps to keep the site accurate and alive.

Good Luck

Anyone had any feedback on the Michelin Pilot Road 4 Trail yet?
Not wishing to start a new thread, so here goes. I have PR4 Trails, f+r, all I can can say is, don't waste your money if you are looking for a 4000+ tyre, the rear is down to the wear bars at only 2800 miles. I don't accelerate hard or brake hard (virtually never touch the rear pedal). I was impressed when I first got them, now I'm losing confidence while riding twisties across tar strips. This is just my personal experience and do not reflect others of the same tyre.

thanks! I'm looking for tire change, for now revzilla has no much options but good prices.

I will take a look to this site

I've heard the advice to use the Pilot 4 Road on the rear instead of the Trail. Evidently they last a lot longer. I get around 10-12k on the PR4 rear with my ST1300. Not an off-road tire by any means though.

A quick question regarding the Conti TKC70: Does anyone know why Conti does not include that tire on its fitment list for the Super10 on their website? I can clearly see that the tire is available in the proper size, and with the same rating codes as the 80, but it doesn't appear on the list when using the fitment wizard.

I ask because I may be headed to India, and the roads there really demand a more mixed-use tire than the stock Bridgestones. I saw from upthread that the Heidenau K60s might be appropriate, but I also need something that I can get in-country, and that pretty much limits me to Conti and a few other major brands e.g. Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Metzeler. Since I do plan a fair amount of actual road riding, the TKC80 is probably overkill, and not as rain-friendly as I would like.

I would caution you on these tires. The fronts are well known for scalloping on the front tire at low mileage and setting up a pretty good vibration. Rears seem to do fine though. It seems they do not do well on the heavier bikes like the S10.

::026:: ^^^ What he said. I would say the Heidenau Scout K60 would be a good choice, also would depends on what part of the year you plan your trip to India, wet season?

Thanks. I figured there would be a reason. If I go, I'll be there for wet and dry, and I'll be on what passes for paved roads there and on dirt, so I'll need a good all-rounder. I'm also likely to be there for some time, so I'd prefer to use a manufacturer that is available in India, so I can get replacements. As far as I can tell, Heidenau is not obtainable there.

I would fit what you want before you go, if you are staying in one location, take a second set, but don't worry about getting the same make over there, you will find something that fits.

How many miles are you going to be doing? Both the K60, and the Mitas E-07's will do 10K+ miles and closer to 14K miles, unless you are a heavy hand. Both are good for what you are looking for performance wise, although I like the E-07's more in the rain.

If I go, it'll be because of work, so I'll be daily-driving plus weekend jaunts and the occasional longer trip, and I'll be there for at least two years. Since the riding season is year-round almost everywhere there, I figure at least 6000-8000mi per year.

Ok. So I'm due for a set of rubber. The existing Mitas E07 that came on my bike have about 7k miles. They aren't totally done, but the front is getting the uneven wear, the rear is to the "wear bars" and the tires are just getting aged and due for replacement so I can take off on multi day trips with no worry.

I'm looking at either another set of E07, or the E09, or the E10.

The 10 has some appeal. It looks nice and chunky, but also like it has considerable contact area.

My riding is like 80%+ slab, but I don't want an 80/20 tire because i want to be able to handle sand and dirt for my upcoming adventures. Basically, I want a tire that is much better than 20% capable on fire roads, dirt trails, and sand. The E07 seem good, but the front seems to not have a lot of meat on it.

That said, I also want confidence and, more importantly, good traction while turning deep into the corners on the twisties. I'm not talking knee dragging, but significant lean and pushing 2x the yellow signs.

Which should I buy? Thanks!

Checkswrecks post #122 is really cool, but would take someone to keep it updated, and with a little more info.
That's not me so......

My addition is, stock Battlax mileage with 100% pavement is:
12K on fronts and 8K on rears.

Thinking of trying Michelin Pilot Road 4/5 next time as my rear is getting close now.
