The first time I thought, "What? It was about a month ago. I was making a right turn at an intersection when a very fast cyclist came into the crosswalk, so I braked hard and the rear end skidded.
It's not like I was going that fast. ”Was it a manhole?" I checked the road surface, but it was all asphalt. Well, the slip sign is just a few millimeters away and it's time to change the tires. .... So I was looking at the prices of tires for the sale at the end of September. At the moment, there are three types of tires I'd like to try on.
The stock tires were DUNLOP ROAD SMART2. Now.Successor 3I chose the one from a foreign manufacturer.
- PIRELLI ANGEL ST
Pirelli touring radials of the same generation as ROAD SMART2. The successor, GT, is already on the market, so the price is reasonable. At the cheapest store, you can get a front/rear replacement for just over 30,000 yen, plus labor. The NInja 1000 I rented had these tires on it, and I was impressed. If you don't run into extremely old stock, I think these will be enough for the Ninja 400.
- PIRELLI ANGEL GT
Pirelli's latest touring radials. Everywhere you look, there are rave reviews. If you don't mind the price, this is the one.
- MICHELIN PILOT ROAD 3
The PILOT ROAD4 is also available, but it looks like it's too big for the NInja 400. As you can see in the photo, the tire pattern is kind of creepy.
So, which one should I choose? .... Well, I still have a few millimeters to go before the slip sign, so I thought I'd think about it a little more. ”Hmm? Isn't this thing completely over already?" I bought it used with just over 3,000km on the clock, which is not surprising since the current mileage is just under 20,000km.........
front wheel
rear wheel
oh dear!"Instant danger!"My Ninja is a 2014 model and was manufactured in 2013, so it's been three years since it was new.The redesigned Ninja 1000 is very attractive.However, I'd rather buy a model from the second year onwards, which is more likely to get an initial fix than the first one, so I'm less likely to rush to switch to a bigger model.
The Angel ST is about 10,000 yen more than the cheapest store, and the PILOT ROAD 3 and Angel GT are about 20,000 yen more expensive than the ST. GT is about 20,000 yen more expensive than ST. The PILOT ROAD 3 and Angel GT are about 20,000 yen more expensive than the ST. So I guess the Angel ST is the one for me. Maybe I'll switch to a bigger one. .....
Yeah. I've decided on the tire brand. Now I just need to decide whether to buy them at the dealer or at a very cheap store........
