      Oh man ! I suppose you should understand ALOT about tires then ... And here is one question i can't seem to find a GOOD answer , which is - does changing tire size 1 up ( front from 110/70 to 120/70 and rear from 150/60 to 160/60 ) would have a big impact on grip ? That would be on my soon to be Ninja 400 , hope to get an answer and thank you for you time reading !

    • @gordonblackley8863
      @gordonblackley8863 5 ปีที่แล้ว +62

      Cig4ras
      It would give no positive effect on grip, but would very likely give a negative effect on the handling.
      The reason behind this is that contrary to common belief friction is completely unrelated to surface area. The main reason for larger tyres on powerful bikes is heat dissipation. A 125 race bike will corner faster than a super bike on their narrow tyres.
      Oversized tyres on the same rims will alter the profile from the design, so will give unpredictable handling.
      I hope that helps 😊

      @gordonblackley8863 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      The real trick is getting the right tyre, track rubber often gets nowhere near its working temperature on the road, so you will often get far more grip on the road out of the sports touring rubber; these are exceptionally good these days.
      Enjoy 😊

    F9 has pretty much broken TH-cam for me. With the exception of motorcycle.com's content everyone else is frankly useless in comparison. Even if it was just the slick presenting and beautifully punchy and entertaining editing they would still be the best, but they also go deeper into the science and details that other channels wrongly think aren't interesting. The depth of impartial knowledge and experience is glowing too. There's so much show, but just as much go, while still being entertaining.

    Dude... You've really stepped up the in depth detail on this channel. It's always been interesting but it seems lately you're going more in depth with technical things average consumers aren't privy to.
    Hopefully your future "what is the best super sport, hypersport, sport touring, touring tire for my bike" follows this trend with details and examples of how each tire performs in each situation. I think many people would be surprised to see a sport touring tire would handle just fine with most average riders even on a track day where they get hot. But just telling them that and reading the company brochure for each tire doesn't prove that to anyone.
    Thanks for the great videos lately and I can't wait to see what's next.

    Don't know if you can help, but I've heard a lot of talk about OEM tires not being the same as the aftermarket ones from other bike channels. For example, the Pilot road 4's on the Yamaha tracers from the factory are a substandard quality to buying aftermarket Pilot road 4's. Not seen them present any evidence for this though at all, could you weigh in on this? Love the channel btw, deffo one of my faves!

      @@oso1165 Hmm well the unit price for global bike manufacturers buying tens of thousands of tyres to factory fit them or even the trade/wholesale price for an independent garage is always going to be less than the unit price an end consumer would pay, it doesn't prove any difference in the product though.

      It is true I think. The reason is that OEM tyres have a different compound which is specifically made to get better ratings at safety relevant tests for example the stability of the tyre an so on. However I don’t think it’s so bad that you have to get an instant replacement, just use your OEM tyres up if your buying a brand new motorcycle. The first set of new tyres will bring the better quality anyway. 🙂

      @@gafferjoe I have to assume big box outlets distribute more tyres through private sales than motorcycle manufactures purchase in a year.
      Even if they are purchasing all the same tires for each model bike. They make several different models requiring different tyres. Furthermore, I doubt many manufacturers are brand loyal longer than a year, if at all. It will typically depend on the cheapest tyre or contract that gets the job done.

    Last time I did any real continuous riding was 20 years ago.
    I ran Bridgestone S11 exclusively. They gave me incredibly reliable grip, even when bald on the centerline, and I could corner my V45 Magna hard enough to put the pegs on the ground.
    Those now seem to be rather hard to find. Now I know why, and I'll be looking into the availability of the S22 for my current ride.
    Thanks for the info, and now I understand a lot more.

    Great video Ryan. Loved the old Bridgestone S21's on my ZX10R except when they met building site litter on a drive way and picked up a nail. That aside, great sport road tyre you can also have fun on at the track without the need for tyre warmers.
    People might hark on about the Pirelli's but in my experience I just seem to burn through the rear too quickly. Also the S21 /S22 have a profile which tips but is very predictable and very easy to change direction in lean if needed which is great on the road.
    Anyway - the info presented was very well done and informative and the out take - funny. Thanks.
