My TKC70 front was buggered well before my rear. Bloody hopeless tyre

" Like a nearsighted man on El Capitan, you never know how close to the edge you are. " Genius is all i can say. Even if i wasn't into bikes, iIwould come here for the banter.

Ah yes, I'll have any old tire and a Cocaine cola please.

You are an amazing knowledge serving dude. Why don't do something that no one else include to their review videos ( not sure why ) but it is very important for bike behave. I'm talking about the weight of the tyres. Maybe next time you would like to make a tyre review video and include the weight of the tyres. That would be awesome! Or even make a whole video about the weight of the tyres - sport, sport-turist & road tyres!

Thanks for reminding me yet again what an old bastard I am.

I feel like I signed up for a basic tire class and got a Masters Degree in Adult Tire Education. This guy is awesome! 🤣

Someone knows where 1:33 comes from?

The all weather tire of choice as I see it was the Anakee 3. Good wet performance & enough grip to keep the rubber side down. Is there a better option out there for us NW riders like you? Would that in fact be the Commander 3?

Bought a Firestone 195 - 55- 16 car tire 55,000 mile rating which means can count on 30 to 35,000 miles for under $100 for the rear of my GW ! I went to a bike shop to get a price on Dunlap E3’S for $695 that was the final straw almost $700 for 8-12,000 miles is ridiculous I’ll be changing the front tire to a conventional motorcycle tire for now but the car tire in the rear is all I would expected to be very smooth and durable and will do the job for my conservative riding style also fine on wet roads .

Battlax S22

Michelin pilot road 5's have become very popular, most people I know are running them, I switched and I can see why.. super sticky

If anybody ever does a motorcycle version of Top Gear they NEED Ryan as one of the presenters!

I have an 87 vfr700f2 sport touring bike and I'm having a tough time finding a good matching set of tires due to oem size front/rear differences. 110/90 v16 and 130/80 v18. I'm looking for solid touring tires with decent mileage but able to handle cornering/traction as fairly well as a true sport tire. Any suggestions?

I last bought tires for my sport bike about 5 years ago. They were "multi-compound" which was explained to me as being harder in the middle with a softer side and a really soft outer edge. I don't have any "chicken strips" but they still wear out hard in the middle. I really want to get my bike on the road again. What tire would you recommend?

Halepino Tossi hahaha

A bell curve with ED. Ryan your educational material is delivered in a unique way.

Metzeler om the Hayabusa if i want to come home again. 👍

i live in cali and had to laugh at the cali jokes

I’ll go with Michelin.

1:32 From where is this animation? Does anybody know the name of it?

i am riding a commander II right now, lasts forever.. but grips like a wet soap!! its good for saving money but you need to be aware that it won't grip, especially in rain! You can not never ever forget that your tires don't grip! never cross the limit!

Hypersport tire: $200 vs $330... Lowside vs riding home... Don't go cheap if you're hitting twisties and/or ride aggressive imo. The savings aren't that big.

Do the pan America

Your tire stuff never tires me.

Sadly ForNine only has Dunlop RoadSmart III and above at about $180 and up. Would have loved cheap safe tires under $400 with tax. Oh well cant ride on old rubber with cracks in it .

RyanF9 > YammieNoob

Ugh, who really cares about cruisers anymore?

So what would be your recommendation for a touring Harley ultra limited?

"bell curve with erectile dysfunction" humor always makes the mundane details more palatable. Informative and entertaining

You have to tone down your rhetoric speeches.

Do you have any input on the commander 3 front tire vibration that a lot of people are reporting?

Nice

What would you recommend for the all mighty Kawasaki Vulcan 650cc cruiser. All types of weather for the... "larger" guys

Q4s last 1 track day Or 2 weeks on street Lol

So Dunlop for Street/Touring TKC for Off-Road Michelin for Rain GOT IT

Brilliant speaker, theory abounds with FortNine...but tire testing isn't an excersize in theoretical deduction, you have to ride and compare. I wouldn't make any decisions based on this review.

its 1 in the morning, I don't own a motorcycle, that's how good your content is.

Sounds like a wise ass guy from T O who realized Vancity is where it’s at.

One stupid question... my front died long before my rear did. Am I doing something wrong?

5 years old in the 90’s!? Thanks a lot , you just made me feel like Fred Flintstone ! 😢. Also tires from the 90’s were way better than my tires from the 80’s. Shit, never mind, I am old.😭

Thanks for the explanations. HD touring rider and while I have gone thru several front and rear Michelin II's after buying their M3 front I encountered vibrations and a howling in the tire at various speeds. Michelin refunded my money for tire and installation. Have those issues been resolved....thanks

Yes, I'm a cheap bastard

my front 120 tire feels like a truck to steer after about 5000miles of use

Future Katelyn Jenner?

nice vid but, Where's the race tires Brian ?

I want to see how many miles you have put on motorcycles, your advice will get people killed! Putting a rear tire on and not a matching pair will get someone killed. I know, i watched a guy die because of that! I have 250k miles on 7 bikes. You forgot the heat cycling of the rubber. Dunlops are a pile of crap, I know 3 of my bikes came with them and i split the front tires to the cords within 800 miles.

Avon for the win!!! You can thank me later!

Cheap bastard!!!! A good motorcycle tire is $300. & up. Perhaps instead you should call companies that sales motorcycle tires thieves...

Yeah the nineties. I got 3-5K and the fronts cupped as fast as the rears shagged. I had a 900ss and then a 916 at the time. I had a no rides that suck policy. Any ride that would eventually wear a flat spot on your tires sucked. I'd ride an extra 70 miles either to or from work just to unsuck the ride.

I wonder how these can compete with Maxxis for off-roading and Pirelli for the on-road.

😎👍 lmao!!!

Dual sport riders have been running different manufacturer/model tires front and rear forever. I've done it on sport bikes too. I used to believe what manufacturers stated about tire pairs and does apply some to street tires. Not so much on the dirt. Please review Tusk D-Sport tires.

Classic funny lines. He's a genius.

I just discovered you and love your informative videos and downhome real world (with just enough science to make it understandable) way of explaining things.

how would the Michelin road 5 compare to the dunlop mutant i keep wondering

Hilarious! informative too of course but hilarious

Michelin tires have always been my OE replacement choice just love how they ride and in the 90s I was already on my 10th bike,love your content

This guy must be Ben Shapiro's cousin 😄😄😄

so what would be a good option for my 03 SV1000? 🤔

Burns itself bald several times over, like california. As a californian I won't even object to that, we are dumb as shit when it comes fire safety

I’m tired after watching this. Nah you’re a champ keep it up Fort nine!

Turkish brand ANLAS tyre you should check it out✌🏼

jalapeno salsy!

Thanks for this video about to buy ftr1200 and looking to the take the original dunlops off from the start. 18" rear.. Looking at Michelín anakee and tkc 70 witb rocks.. Or grippier road focused Michelín pilot road 3 but no 19" for front. Cheers great info. I realy like the bridgestone ax 41s on my bmw scrambler but unable to match sizes 18" & 19". .

S22 this year and way better than the q3+

ED. Lol

Mitas sport force + kills it all the way sheap and sticky as hell

I once got 7k out of 10k tires. 30k miles and ready for set #6. Donlup something that came on the bike Pilot Road 4 Roadtec 01 Pilot Road 5 Angel GT Next Up: RoadSmart 3 or RoadSport 2 for a cheaper tire

Michelin make the best tyres,they invented them.

Anyone know if I can go from 160 to 180 in street bob 2017 if someone has done it please let me know, I want to do it but I don't know if the FDXB is left without modifying it .....

Commander 3 needs to be redesigned. 30MPH I get vibration on the handlebar, at 62MPH I get the humming noise. At 75 the tire noise is terrible. I wish they really test ride their tires before selling them public.

So far I like my TKC70 on my Multi enduro 1200

When will you review the triumph tiger xcx ?! Hope to see soon !!

sadly, my tires usually age out before they wear out :( but I still buy good quality tires. thanks for another great video!

But do they have my size? Nope.. both bikes are left out..

I think these are the most professional videos that I have ever seen on LTpost. I wish you great success young man.

I bought the commander 2, made only 5000 miles, and seems brand new even driving in a sporty way :) But them are not so bad in the wet

Pirelli's for me baby

Soo can my honda cdi 125 handle those Tyres?

bought a set of michelin commander 3s because of this video I am a full timer with no car so I hope they treat me well

All your videos are absolutely amazing! I've watched almost all of them and I don't even own (or ride) a motorcycle. I think that says a lot about how easily you can capture my attention.

Im just shocked at how street motorcycle tires work cuz they looks so...like bald lmao

"But you're a CHEAP BASTARD" applicable AF for a lot of riders :D

So is changing the front with the rear a must? My road pilot 5 is bald in the rear but newish in the front. I would like to buy the the Dunlop RS2 can I get away with only buying the rear or is that a bad idea?

I have Roadsport II's on my GSXS750 and they're great I don't ride like Jalapeno Saucey but I do occasionally scrape the side of my shoe on a highway off-ramp and ride in rain on the occasional commute. Would recommend to anyone who treats their middleweight naked bike as a daily rider

Do you think you can test, for us to watch, mix settings? I would love to watch Bridgestone S22 Hypersport in the front (possibly the best dry+wet tyre in the market for braking and turning, according to some magazine tests) and Michelin Road 5, Dunlop Roadsport 2/SmartRoad 3 or Continental Road Attack 3 in the back. They all seem to be excellent combinations for touring/sport bikes for moderate/safe driving but it would be great to have these combinations reviewed. No one has ever done this before! You could be that someone, because someone else will be for sure! The amount of LTpost videos could be great in numbers and content itself! Think about it and keep up with the good work!

Плохо что на русский не переводят ((( Печаль (

Can't believe how much Ryan has changed in few short years - ltpost.info/down/pG6YhYXLrmy2m58/vaizdo-ra-as.html.

Hi ForNine. Would you recommend Commander III for an FLH 1971 Harley? Thanks in advance

Where were you !

Great information, however Michelin dropped the ball. These Commander III'S have defects in them that I don't trust. Back to the drawing board!

When I see the underlay it's time to buy a new tyre !

Last week I had new tires in stalled at a HD shop. When I got home I noticed that the front tire was a Dunlap American Eagle Elite and the back one was a D402. Is this paring safe. Will it effect handling? Thank you for your comments.

But which ones can I swap out for my BATTLAX BT-45V

You beat revzilla to it lol

6:45 the dude at the end, he's your 'helper'? Bc clearly don't see him in video.

I really am a Bastard, but I'm not complaining you said that hahaha. Another great video

Most videos I can go to comments section and get useful information and opinions on the source material. On your videos most comments are about your on screen humor and production quality. Which although I think is great, it's not much use to help me make decisions in purchasing.

So should I be swapping out my Bridgestone S22's.

I'll run shinkos, don't care if anyone has a problem with that. Not paying the price of another used bike every time i need a set of tires.
