Wanted, OEM rear tire - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

taki · 05-02-2008, 05:03 PM

I just discovered a staple in my rear tire,and i dont like riding on a plug.

I would be willing to buy your old take off OEM tire as long as it was in good condition.

I dont have the cash for a new tire, so thats why im looking for a used one in good condition.

Thanks!

Bridgestone BT-020 OEM Replacement Rear Tire - Motorcycle Superstore

Is that to much money? I dont know if you have dunlops or bridgestones. Its really not that hard to change a tire, but you have to tire spoons, lube, valve core tool, bead breaker, wieghts, and stands to balance it.

If you can find someone that has the stuff near you, and you can afford the tire, a pizza or some other fair exhange can usually be worked out.

I have a new Avon Storm coming for 153$ Its about half of what the dealers want.

Just thought I would throw it out to you, dont know if thats to much money or not.

I had these on my old bike and the wife has them on her SV, they are surprisingly stable considering the price, I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Shinko 005 Advance Radial priced as low as $54.99

Check out the rest of that site too, they have very good tire prices.

I like saving money when I can so I buy from these folks and have saved a bunch over the years.

ill probably end up with a new tire, i just figured in case somebody has some oems sitting in their garage that they arent going to use..

thanks, ill probably be ordering the bt-020 tire...i use my bike for commuting and so that seems to be a good all around tire.

thanks!

so i either get another crappy dunlop or i spring for a pair of new tires....my current tires only have 2500 miles on them!

I have mixed tires with no problems as long as you use a good quality tire and don't tell the bike you will be fine.

I have also mixed tires and you should not have any issues as long as you keep them as the same compound.

Example, if you have a soft tire in the rear and a medium or hard up front you could find yourself washing out the front end. or vice versa, but only if you are riding near the limits of either tire.
