... fitters bang them on the outside? Wear - New tyres have to be be run in, and then checked as often as you can, both for pressures, and also the wear. Current practice is not to rotate your tyres onto different axles, however, this does even out the wear which makes them last longer. One disadvantage of this is that all the tyres wear out at the same time, and most people prefer to change two at a time. Rotation - Many tyres nowadays have a "direction of rotation" on them. If this is the case with your t...more

Why put weights on the outside? Because that's where they are needed! Of course we put weights inside or out depending on where the wheel/tyre is out of balance.

A review on Tyres in general. Tyres are the big black rubbery things, that keep your vehicle in contact with the road surface, and are far more important than brakes. They do however, tend to be largely ignored until the MOT Test. Tyre size guide - You will have seen some numbers on the sidewall of your tyres, if you have ever wondered what these mean, read on:- If we take the example of a 205/55 R16 W 205 is the width of the traad (in mm) 55 is the height of the sidewall as a % of the width. R means Radial, although this no longer required. 16 is the size in inches, of the tyre inner rim. (Not the wheel) W is the ... Read the complete review

After only reading the header of another opinion, I bet I already agree with what was said "only three things in my life" mine definatly are: 1: My Son (No. 1 priority) 2: My Wife 3: My second wife (the bike) I own an Yamaha FZR600R Foxeye edition, I am very happy with this bike as I managed to get on one many years ago and found it very pleasing in many way i.e. riding position,handling,looks,power etc, etc But one must say that alot does depend on the make and model of the tyres which you install on the bike. I have currently updated my tyres to Bridgestone BT010's these are just magic. They are extremely sticky, feel ... Read the complete review

Those of you who know me will know that the three most important things in my life are...my wife (brunette), my dog(also brunette) and my motorbike(red VFR 750). I’ll leave those who know me to set out the order of merit. Well, being a spring/summer only biker now, ( post accident arthritis and the thought of salt eating into my beloved bike during winter makes me avoid riding in winter) the bike is off the road for the winter and since spring is upon us it’s time for some fettling for the road. Chiefly this year this involved the fitting of a new pair of tyres. Those of you who don’t ride bikes (the unenlightened majority) will ... Read the complete review
