Motorcycle tire review and tips especially for Suzuki GSX 1100 SZ Katana 1981 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.


• Scuff 'Em Up: Optimal grip is obtained only after the tread surface has been ridden on, so go into those first few twisties with a bit of caution. The suggested break-in distance is usually 100 or so miles. After that, check the tire's pressure again!


• Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum inflation as noted on the tire sidewall. Inflate your tires when they are cold, and be aware that a cooler day may also require you to recheck the inflation pressures due to a change in outside air temperature.


• Motorcycle tires work in much more brutal environment then car tires. Because of many factors such as load carried, horsepower and torque produced, and this being applied to a contact surface that is very small by comparison, one can understand why the tires are not only expensive but also work in a much more demanding environment. Therefore keeping the tire pressure correct and routine tire inspection is critical.


• Do not apply any type of tire dressing to the sidewall or worse to the tread area of the tire, it is very slippery. Use only approved tires for your model of bike.
