Motorcycle tire review and tips especially for Suzuki GSX 400 X Impulse 1986 on tires

• Step in Line: Pay close attention to alignment--shaft drive bikes have no adjustment, but if you have a chain or belt, check the position of your tires. Proper alignment ensures better handling and longer wear.


• 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!


• Unseen internal tire damage: If you have a front or rear wheel that has a dented rim, replace the tire, as the tire has suffered internal damage to the sidewall. This applies to car tires as well. It is wise to replace the wheel as well since it may be internally cracked. The straightening of bent wheel rims is not recommended since you are reworking the metal thus weakening it.


• 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.
