Tires are expensive, don't you think?
For your safety, we recommend that you immediately replace tires that have a slip sign or are old, but even so, the price of tires may not be something you can just say, "Yes, I see.
In fact, I've been agonizing over replacing my tires for the past few months, putting them in my Webike basket, deleting them, putting them in, deleting them, and repeating the process.
It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money. If you also have a car as a hobby, the price of motorcycle tires is even more of a concern .......
So this time, instead of the usual high end tire goodness, I'm going to introduce you to a radial tire that's cheap, doesn't perform badly, and has excellent cosmetics!
How much do two tires cost in the first place?

The secret of cheap tyres
The most popular way to find cheap tires is to look for the latest, slightly previous generation of tires!
The latest model of tire is introduced almost every year, but the old model is often sold continuously at a discount.
It is the technique of cheap tire hunters to target such tires. This is also the case with many of the tires that are often sold as a set at supply stores.
Of course, it won't be the latest performance, but any tire that has been introduced in the last few years will perform satisfactorily. Otherwise we wouldn't sell them!
And even though it was a few generations ago, production is still ongoing, so it's not like the tires were just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
The most powerful tire for touring
This is the most targeted category of the strongest cost-performance tires!
The latest touring tyres are wet/Both dry tires are completed at a high level, but if you don't drive aggressively, you can be satisfied with tires in the under 40,000 yen class.
You can enjoy it as a basic tire because you can ride almost the same distance in terms of durability.
PIRELLI｜ANGEL ST
Price before and after: 35,000 yen class
User rating:.
If you enjoy mainly long touring, I recommend European touring tires, which often travel over vast tracts of land!
Pirelli's high-grip tires are popular, but the ANGEL series for touring is also very popular.
This ANGEL ST uses a compound containing silica, which provides wet grip even in sudden rain.
It also has a reputation for having a very good life, and some users have achieved an amazing life of 18,000km in their impressions!
The tread design is also sporty and cool, so it looks great on sporty vehicles such as super sports and high speed tourers.
By the way, when the tires are worn down, the angels on the tires disappear and the Diablo with deep grooves appears!
The latest is the ANGEL GT2, but the ST is still in service!
MICHELIN｜PILOT ROAD 2
Price before and after: 33,000 yen class
User rating:.
The latest ROAD5 is very highly regarded for its wet performance. From that point of view, this tire is 2, so 3 generations ago.
It may be said that this tire is quite old, but it is still in the lineup. And the reason for that is we have fans of these tires!
At first glance, the Pilot series appears to be a series of generations based on the same concept, but in fact they have slightly different purposes and are not necessarily backward compatible with the latest.
So the secret is that the riders who prefer the PILOT ROAD 2 have been repeating it for a long time, and it is still in the lineup.
The key to its performance is its neutral characteristics and ultra-long durability, regardless of the road environment. It may sound ordinary in words, but this is a basic tire that combines the ordinary with a high level of performance.
I'd recommend it to any rider looking for a long lasting touring tire with some performance out there!
IRC｜TOURING RADIAL RMC810
Price before and after: 33,000 yen class
User rating:.
Unlike the tires I've mentioned so far, the newest radial tire in the IRC lineup, but one that boasts amazing cost performance, is the RMC 810!
This tire is a touring radial tire that IRC, which boasts an overwhelming market share mainly in the small-displacement to 250CC class, has brought to the market.
The feature is the ride comfort that only IRC, which is good at bias! The tire absorbs the gap of the rough road surface, and you can enjoy the touring calmly without fatigue.
The handling is also gentle, and it doesn't feel like you're being rushed by the tyres or cutting in too quickly, which is really good for touring.
I'd recommend it, including the geek factor of getting the latest specs at this price!
The best high-grip tyre at the best price
I go to the mountain pass at the weekend. If your goal is to drive on the circuit, the latest high grip tires are still recommended.
However, in the case of the use of lightly flowing touring destination, there is a high possibility of encountering a good tire even if you emphasize the cost to some extent!
METZELER｜SPORTEC M5 INTERACT
Price before and after: 34,000 yen class
User rating:.
When it comes to inexpensive high-grip tires that allow you to enjoy winding roads, the choices are pretty limited.
That's where I would like to recommend Metzler! Especially, this M5 is relatively inexpensive, but has a high specification that you can enjoy circuit driving sessions.
And if it rains or the road temperature is low, the Dura Sil compound with silica warms up easily and provides reliable grip.
As for the ride quality, it is characterized by stability-oriented handling and a solid ground feeling when it is rolled over.
By the way, there is an elephant symbol on the edge of the tire, so you can check the bank angle by using it as a guide.
MICHELIN｜PILOT POWER 2CT
Price before and after: 36,000 yen class
User rating:.
The PILOT POWER 2CT, which is often regarded as a masterpiece among Michelin's sports tires, is actually a tire that costs less than 40,000 yen.
Thanks to its supple construction, this tyre warms up easily, so it is resistant to rain, grippy and durable. It is a tire with perfect characteristics for use on public roads.
2CT is a technology that uses different compounds for the center compound, where durability is important, and the sides, where grip is important, and thanks to this, both durability and grip are achieved.
This characteristic has become commonplace today, but the PILOT POWER 2CT, the tire that started it all and reached the point of perfection, is a tire that can still be enjoyed today.
This tire is also a tire with a relatively large number of repeaters. 14 years have already passed since it was put on the market, but it is a tire that boasts strong popularity.
Mainly for city driving! The strongest tyre in terms of cost
If you enjoy riding on the street for constant distance such as commuting to work and school, and occasional touring, this is the genre for you!
The replacement span tends to be short, and for city riders who tend to digest the delicious grip of high-grade tires in city driving, this is more convenient .......
Another feature of this class is that many of the tires are relatively new in design, but cheap.
DUNLOP｜SPORTMAX GPR300
Price before and after: 39,000 yen class
User rating:.
A tire with no peculiarities. It has no characteristics. It's a tire so natural and versatile that you'll want to use the words
Handling that's not too light and not too heavy, and ride comfort that comes from absorbing gaps. And no shortage of dry/Wet grip and durability are attractive.
Because they provide stable grip independent of temperature, they often feel like they grip better than high-end high-grip tires in environments with low road temperatures, such as in winter.
All in all, it's a sneaker-like tire that doesn't require you to think about riding according to the surface or environment.
BRIDGESTONE｜BATTLAX TS100
Price before and after: 37,000 yen class
User rating:.
The design follows in the footsteps of the popular S20EVO.
The highly-rated S20EVO was a very well-made tyre, with a good balance of grip and durability.
Of course, this TS100 seems to have the same characteristics, and will be a good companion from city riding to weekend touring!
The frequency of replacement must be strictly observed
The latest is not always the best, so it's not wrong to choose the best for your application.
In terms of performance, the tyres that have been introduced in the last few years already have enough performance to satisfy most people, so it is unlikely to be a dangerous experience.
Instead, it is the timing of replacement that must be adhered to. For example, even if you have high quality tires, their performance will be greatly inferior to the tires introduced here if they have slip signs or have hardened over time.
Be sure to follow the replacement frequency to ensure a safe motorcycle life.
No matter what kind of tire you choose, just be sure to follow the replacement timing!
