The latest compound achieves excellent grip performance and long life. The line up corresponds to a wide range from big bike to light weight bike. It is a high-performance bias tire that responds to any lining.
•COMPOUND It is developed silica blended with the latest technology. It takes advantage of flexible characteristics even at low temperatures and provides stable grip power under all circumstances. In addition, it has secured high wear resistance performance from a strong bonding force.
•CONSTRUCTION Considering the characteristics of the vehicle to be mounted, it adopts optimum specification and optimal profile depending on the tire size. This achieves smooth handling characteristics without a habit. In addition, it is a lineup of the corresponding "V Range" of the big bike. You can enjoy the potential of the latest biased tire with a wide range of vehicles.

It achieves light and smooth handling along with the deep bank angle which secured a rich ground feel. In addition, the rear tire deepens the groove and improved wear resistance performance.
Points of Attention
* If there may be an instruction manual included, it will be written in Japanese.
[How is it used? If there is no snow or icy conditions, it will run. The V-STROM250 is an AdventureMotorcycle, so it will travel on some unpaved roads.
How was your experience with it? It also grips in winter mornings and other situations where it is difficult for the Tire to warm up. Road noise seems not much different from OEM Mounting Tire. The ride feels a little stiffer than the OEM Mounting Tire, but this is not immediately noticeable. Fuel economy seems to be the same as OEM Mounting Tire. It has traveled 7000 km, but the grooves are still there. Unpaved roads are not impossible to drive on as long as they are FlatDirt.
[Was there anything that disappointed you? After two years of use, fine cracks began to appear in the grooves. It does not interfere with driving, but it is somewhat demoralizing. This Tire has the same symptoms for both Front and Rear.
How did it compare to other products? Wet grip is definitely better than OEM Mounting Tire.View Detail
[How is it used? Commuting, Touring, dirt roads, etc. Running in the rain, low temperature conditions, etc. This is a Review after 2 years and 7000 km.
Was the installation difficult? The installation was left to the Shop.
How was your experience with it? The OEM Mounting Tire slipped in the rain (I didn't force it), so I went with this tire which seems to have better grip in the rain, and the feel is good. Dry grip is also perfect. Grips even at low temperatures. Road noise seems not much different from OEM Mounting Tire. The ride seems slightly stiffer. Fuel economy seems to be the same as OEM Mounting Tire. It has traveled 7000 km, but the grooves are still there.

[How is it used? Main commute less than 10 km each way.
How was your experience with it? It is not high grip, but I am not dissatisfied with the grip. It is not high grip, but I am not dissatisfied with the grip.
How did it compare to other products? I have changed brands every time I replaced BT39, GPR300, RX02, etc. Grip, Life, Cost, each has its advantages and disadvantages, but I think Balance is the best. [Points to note] Air pressure management. Air pressure changes the ride quality.View Detail
I have them on from a previous Motorcycle. For a novice Rider like myself, I can't find a single complaint. Good drainage Pattern & thick-walled for durability This makes even Situation, which is a long-distance run in the rain, honestly not that scary. If you don't drive on the Circuit or close to a mountain pass, I think you will get enough grip for your needs.View Detail
I had it installed when I took delivery of my GPZ900R. Currently, the mileage is about 7000km, and it is Mainly for Touring and mountain passes. The middle is decreasing fast (2 part pile) and the SIDE still has about 3-4 part piles. I am fully satisfied with Life considering the vehicle's rating. I have installed 150/70-18 as per OEMRear tire size of GPZ900R. It is said that the Profile is different from the current Tire, and the proper Size is 140 in width. The size of the tire is 140/70-18, which is 15mm smaller in diameter than the 140/70-18, so it is necessary to change the tire size to 140/70-18. This is a bit of a problem. The narrower the rear tire, the more the RearStir will work and the more the fluttering will increase. I expect that it will be reasonably usable to the edges.
The cosmetics are good and I will buy this Tire again next time.View Detail
