Title: Tires
Post by: Leander on October 25, 2019, 12:33:26 PM: This week I fitted my first new set of tires on my Empulse R

I went for the Bridgestone T31

I love them!

They are a bit rounder and it's steering like a knife (dutch expression)
Very noticable at round-abouts and sharp corners.

I already had these tires on mij Yamaha diversion 900 and never had any "strange" things with them.

I think they vary the rubber compound along the tire cross section, making it stickier on the sides (where you need it) and just a bit harder in the middle To not wear out so quickly) But for whatever reason, they do the job
