Great In depth review, one thing that you could have sneaked thou is the mileage that you currently have on these tires(or maybe I just missed that). Between, Road 6, Roadsmart 3 Angel GT2, and Roadtech 01, Will definitely get these T32.

That’s true. I had about 1k miles on them at the time I believe. Have about 4k on them now and love them still. Put them through some wicked rainstorms and even close to freezing temperatures and they preformed amazing.

Cool topic of the tires. Interesting details, thanks. Nice road and scenery. I'm a touring rider, so I don't lean over to my knees, just normal tilting of the bike and riding with a range of speeds. Sorry to hear those are picking up pebbles and flinging them. That's crazy they're flinging the pebbles around. Years ago, I was behind a big tractor trailer truck one time and it flung a stone at my face shield, which thankfully didn't crack, but deflected off at an angle. I can imagine if I didn't have a full face helmet. Rocks, bees, bugs, paint, dust, etc. In the past, I got the Battleax brand for my Ninja 250s and had really good results, and good endurance too. On my Ninja 650, I recently installed a brand new rear tire of the Dunlop Sportmax (160/60ZR-17), and so far it's really good at $100, which was a great deal for a rear tire. Taking the old tire off was actually easy and fitting the new one on went smooth, so it's a good fitting tire for the '21 Ninja 650. Putting the tire back onto the bike is a challenge, but a little easier than the Ninja 250 in my opinion.

That’s what I wanna learn how to do. Put on my own tires. I would love to have several pairs and swap them around. That’s nuts about the rock. I had a massive bug smack my helmet so hard I really thought it was a rock. So loud. But when I pulled over I was able to confirm it “was” a bug.

@@CityNinja650 Thanks! Yes, those giant bugs, just imagine not having a face shield. Ouch! One rider told me he wasn't wearing a helmet or gear, and a bee hit his chest and stung him somehow and he fell off the bike going 20+ mph, really hurting himself. He regretted his choice. Yes, changing your tires not only saves money, but is a really fun challenge. My new hand tools/vice (no machines) make it much faster now thankfully. I bet you'd enjoy the challenge next time in maybe 4000 miles.

I would need sport touring lol I drive aggressively sometimes depending on my mood. I learned so much about tires from this video than I ever had from any other video I've seen about tires

@CityNinja650 9 ай бұрын

Really appreciate that. I love the tires but I really did like the original ones as well. Really helps you get the lean on. You can with these. Just seems like it takes a bit more to warm them up

@@CityNinja650it might be harder to lean due to the shape of the tire. The more V shaped it is, the easier it should be to tip the bike over and lean. The more rounded it is, the more difficult it would be.

I'm about to replace my tires and thinking about this. i use my bike as my daily commuter. would you recommend this? also what size are using? is it a 180/55/17?

@stephc4427 7 ай бұрын

Just curious as to the cold front and rear pressures you're running? Are you using the Ninja 650 32F/36R?

@CityNinja650 7 ай бұрын

What’s up dude. Sorry for the late reply. Yt doesn’t tell me every notification which is annoying lol. Fronts I run 32 and rear 34 usually. That’s where I usually keep it.

Bridgestone gave Jeremy McWilliams an MV Agusta sport touring bike to flog around the Misano circuit. It was equipped with T32 tires that already had thousands of street miles on them, and McW said they performed far beyond his expectations. He even had them remove the hardcases so he could push the tires even harder. I think that's a pretty good test of a street tire.
