Hi All
Any feedback on 240mm replacement tyres For 2017

Opps. I meant 240mm rear!

Lol.....got a Metzler booked in for Friday....tes on the back! :-)

H&H....Absolutely right...went for the 260mm Metzler rear! Feels like  I'm back on the Ninga! Maybe its a mind game..lol...but corners a truckload better!

How does that work then? I’ve got sweet FA experience but after riding a mates old Dyna I know that mine doesn’t like corners like his does. I thought it was because of the fat rear tyre. So shouldn’t it mean that going fatter again means it’s not going to like corners even more?

As it was explained to me during purchase, the standard 240mm...is more bell end shaped to describe it. The 260mm is more optical on the edge [ not sure if you see that in the pic]?
The standard 240mm side wall tends to stiffen due to shape, thus wont allow the edge of the tyre to roll with the side wall!  Like all big arse's they handle like shit at low speed! As they say with the Breakout..."Fast to corner...and very slow out"!  Done nearly 600k's since last Friday when fitted...and find yet again I have to adjust my riding technique for corners, but now I feel more comfortable, reminds me of some of my Jap bikes of the past.
Do you notice a difference with the 250mm??
Cheers

Similar Pic...with the 240mm...you can see the "Bell Edge"...as described!

Ahhh I see. Cheers gents. That makes total sense!!!

Oh and wht two pic in the same place?....My fav place to stop and have a ciggie during my rides...lol

B...Breakouts don't do rain...lol!

H&H...agree....I'm even a gear up in some of my favorite corners now! :-)
