Motorcycle tire review and tips especially for Suzuki GR 650 / X (spoked wheels) 1983 on tires

• Stay Smooth: This is common sense--avoid potholes and sharp objects on the road that can compromise your tire's integrity. The same goes for curbs.


• When riding for long distances monitor tire pressure every morning when tires are cold. Then check tire pressure after a few hours of use. More than a 10% increase in inflation means the tire is working too hard. Lighten the load, decrease speed, or add air to the tires so they run cooler.


• Eyeballing tires for under inflation or over inflation is not a good idea, particularly on a motorcycle. A bike on a center stand and with no riders on it could be missing half the weight or more the tires will end up supporting. In addition, it is necessary to get down and examine tires under the fender to see if there is any tire damage. With only a few small inches supporting the load on two tires versus a much larger contact patch on 4 tires it’s a much riskier proposition taking a chance with motorcycle tires. Check also for cracking on the sidewalls, in the grooves, stones or cuts.


• They are the only thing between you and the road surface. Proper care and inspection is critical for safe operation of the motorcycle. It is important to check not only the tire pressure routinely, but also the entire tire surface for cuts, nails and other items such as cracks, splits and bulges, before each ride. Tire pressure is important for various reasons including life of the tire in terms of mileage and ride quality. Please refer to your Owners Manual for the tire inflation pressures for your model of bike.


• Hydroplaning is the effect when the tire rides up onto the water surface of the road. What effects this is both the remaining thread depth, speed of the motorcycle and the amount of water on the road surface. In wet weather slow down and before going on a long ride for safety sake replace your tires if they are near the wear bars...its your skin.
