Hayholes mum Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yup, that's the place, he had all the sizes in stock which is surprising! They're pretty pricey, but I priced up getting them from the States and by the time you pay ass puckering freight and tax etc.. They ended up about the same price. Of course when you buy here it's easier to send them back if they're wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ouch, they around 280 each? Gotta pay the cost to be the boss eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayholes mum Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Shit no, they're more than that, I think we paid about $360 per tire for the 4.5 wide ones. Plenty of other cool tires available but only in gay Harley sizes, I think a few of the cheap Chinese brands are gonna start doing some similar stuff in the future.. Until then it's all about the Firestones. And the tread is about 4 foot deep which is ideal or extended burnout sessions ( its like watching dollar signs flying off your tire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have a 3.0x21 on the front of mine. If you want an old looking tyre get safety mileage Or a Shinko MT 90 I like you Joe, please don't die.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 they look like car tyres lol. How do they compare to proper/modern spec tyres for going round corners and rain ridin etc? I reckon on bikes have nice tyres, who cares wat they look like. not falling over when it rains is nice haha. I have seen people fit actual car tyres to big trimuph and a vmax tho and they didn't die haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yeah ride within grip levels etc, can't be worse than the bald michelin front I used to ride around on haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Get firestones or I'll come round to your house. Again?! you were only around last night .. xx Yea, im not down for speeding around, or wet riding. Just want some vintage looking shit to plod around on on a sunny day. Dont want to do motor GP knee scraping on corners etc. What sizes would you reccomend for 1.60x18, and 1.85x18? Firestone Back and the ones hayhole rolls on the front? Avon speedmaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 What Style is the bike? Probably 3.0 on the front and 3.5 on the back. And if you are rolling a speed master on the front you would be better off with a safety mileage on the back. And Hayhole, just because you can ride a firestone doesn't mean they aren't shit, because they surely are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 70s cafe. Want 70s look tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Then don't get speedmasters lol. TBH Firestones are the best looking tyre for that style bike without a doubt, but don't expect them to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 TBH Firestones are the best looking tyre for that style bike without a doubt, but don't expect them to be good. Im not expecting them to be good. Hah. I know they're crap. But shit they look cash. And again, im not keen to be racing around. Only want to putt around. I'm scared of speed on bikes. Just want something that looks tough as nails sitting in my garage. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
