If you can see a leak around the rim you are better than me.

I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend not attempting a tire repair without three GOOD tire spoons AND watching the tire repair/replacement video on this forum....seriously. Now if you have replaced a mc tire before disregard this post....but I'm betting no.

Look at a lot of tires....I like the metzeler for my adv...but there are a lot of great tires out there that may be better for you.

 

and miss out on all the cussing, tool throwing, bike kicking, sweat dripping off the nose, short temperdness at the wife and kids, head scratching, grezzy hand, tool loosing, bike falling over and scratching the car fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no way lol

looked at a few on you tube changed everything from a bike tire to a 5 ton tire in the field with nothing more than a basic tool box. (just not a motor cycle tire)

plan on buying spoons in the morning though

ohhh and wher is the vid on the forum?

thanks for the advice if you were here i'd give you a beer

 

This is THE video for a mc removal/repair .... and I can do it almost as fast as him now, not two years ago...lol

Parts 2 & 3 of the video show up on youtube on the right.

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you serious?????
20 min first tire/tube change no problems...
has to be on of the easiest things ive ever done.

hardest part was walking out of the store with a tube and not buying a new bike

 

[QUOTE=WestOzKLX;311877]Try these.



K761 Dual Sport


Unbeatable combination of both street and off road grip and stability.
Remarkably durable nylon ply construction delivers total riding confidence.
DOT approved and H Speed rated.
Heavy duty construction designed to withstand the demands of off road riding.
Advanced compound design for extra braking and cornering traction.


Has anyone used these? I am looking at these or the Kenda 270's for a 80-90% street tire that will last a while and are inexpensive. Any suggestions
