Jose Pointero posted:Read almost the entire thread over the course of a couple weeks, and just ordered my first new pair of tires for this bike: We've swapped out several tires for PR3s. Hearing nothing but good things from the people that are using them so far. I plan on getting them myself when the time comes.

We actually got a pair of PR4's in last week. They look very similar to the PR3, but a little more expensive.

Xovaan posted:Girlfriend's Ninja 250 needs a front tire since it isn't holding air and it came with the bike and I don't wanna risk anything. Anybody know a good replacement? What are the best tools for changing a tire? Can I set the bead at a gas station? If you really want to sure. Might get some funny looks when the bead pops both times. Bring some soapy water to lube it up. You'll need at least two or three tire irons. If you don't want to risk damaging the rim, get some protectors for it. Unless you want to reuse them, get two extra rubber valve stems to replace the old ones. Just cut the old ones off with a razor, lube the new one up with aforementioned soapy water and shove it in with a phillips.

They're pretty much the same for profile. They both have a 20|40|20 composition on the rear and a 25|50|25 on the front. The tread pattern is slightly different, but they're more or less the same tire. Michelin is claiming 17% better braking and 20% better tread life on the 4 over the 3.

Guy came in the other day needing to replace his Pirelli Angels. Says he got 23,000 out of them on his CBR1000.

Connie 14 or 10? PR4 GT will fit the 14. No Michelin tires will fit the 1000.

They're an okay tire, that's about it. I think they're a single compound tire, too. Don't see anything that says otherwise.

The tourance next is an enduro sport tire. The pilot road is a sport tour. No comparison in mileage between them.

Some people are very afraid of changing their oil, let alone a tire.

General rule of thumb is that you can go up or down one size just fine, but there are exceptions. Your current tire is 90mm wide by 81mm (90% of the width) tall. The 100/100 is 100mm wide by 100mm tall (100% of the width). That's 10mm wider and 19mm taller. The first number is width in mm and the second is height as a percentage of the width. The main issue with going up in tire size is fitting the wheel back on without the tire rubbing on anything.

Which is funny because, from what I've seen, both versions have the same weight rating.

Go for a ride then? There's really no point in sanding your tires.

My front tire randomly lost all the air before a trip once. It was just a leaky core. Core tool is very handy to have.

Space Whale posted:The IRC RoadWinners on my Ninja 300 don't exactly review well except for lasting a long time. I don't think the pr4 comes in the right sizes for your bike. You're looking at something like the pilot streets for a 110 and 140.

Not sure about your location, but we always sent people to a nearby shop if they were desperate to get it done asap. The shop was a little more expensive, but if you brought them the wheels off the bike, they changed the tires while you waited.

I'd imagine most shops are like that. Our district manager hated tire changes for some reason and wanted us to tell everyone two to three hour minimum with a 24 hour max. Never understood why, since a tire change is pure profit outside of the valve stem or tube.

Eh, we changed a lot of tires, and there were only a couple of people here and there that complained. Not once did we end up paying for a wheel (our sister store on the other hand...) We were required to inspect the wheel and write down any damage we found. We were also required to show the customer any damage we found and have them sign a waiver stating "Yeah that poo poo's damaged."
