You may even GYKD (but you 'd probably be on yer arse soon afterwards). Bargain for the money. Much better grip than BT45s. Ask Lozzo. He knows these tyre well iirc.

Surely the originals would be okay with a bit of air in them? The Maxxises are probably orders of magnitude better than anything the old heap has worn previously. > [1] More on this tomorrow. ....after the cloud of rust has dispersed. >> Stay informed about: Maxxis/Cheng Shin Tyres

Depends which Maxxis tyres they are? I had Barracudas on my CB250RS and they were superb, the replacement Hi-Maxs weren't as good but still ok in the dry, but awful in the wet. Hi-Maxes had a tread pattern similar to a Dunlop Arrowmax on the rear and similar to a Metzeler ME33 up front. -- Lozzo Slightly bent Suzuki SV650S K5 >> Stay informed about: Maxxis/Cheng Shin Tyres

My Radian had Maxxis Barracudas on when I bought it - and they were fine. Probably better than the whateve-they-were mainstream rubber I replaced them with. -- Rob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

They aren't as terrible overall as some would have you believe, but there are better Maxxis tyres available in the smaller sizes. I just didn't like them in the wet, dry they were ok. > I'm after 100/90H-19 front and 120/90H-18 rear. Barracudas are available in those sizes, you'll be wanting the C915 rear and C926 fronts, they rock. Wet weather grip is amazing. -- Lozzo Slightly bent Suzuki SV650S K5 >> Stay informed about: Maxxis/Cheng Shin Tyres
