Need advice on new feel after mounting new tyres.
Permalink  
 

Hi all. I just mounted new t301 tires on my ttr 250. Previously I had old almost square d off road tires. The new ones are more knobby but they feel funny. As if something is loose. I double checked that everything is torque d up. The feeling around corners is not as precise at with the old ones. Could this be because they are more an offroad tire ?

going from road tires to knobbies makes it feel like a shopping trolley at first takes a while to get used to it .

Treat roundabouts with care

I used to ride with full off road nobbies and it always felt like I was on knife blades on the road, also felt like a tractor at less than 60kph

They were great Off Road but rubbish on road, when they wore out I got Dunlop 605's front and rear

Mostly good off road and really secure feeling on road, I would rate them 80/20 Off/On Road, something like that

Merry Christmas to all
