Let's tok about wheels.....

And idea how does the threadings on the tyre affects its performance?
I know tt threading is to provide grip, but there are so many kind of desings on the market, what kind of design tt makes the tyre more superior?
Some experience with some brands, not to condemn them but juz my bad luck...
DUNLOP, the tires exploded at high temperature, when was travelling along the North-Sounth Express in M'sia;
MICHELIN, its branded and well liked in the racing world, but the tire cracks more easily compared to others, some experts says tt b'coz Michelin tires are not meant for ASEAN weather, how true is it? -
all these stories you heard are just bullshit made up by somebody.
reputable tyre manfacturers such as dunlop, michelin and bridgestone are concerened with their product. all sorts of testing and quality control are implemented to ensure the good performance of their tyre.
if a rider follows the type pressre and ride properly during the break in period, there is no reason why these tyres cannot last.
correct or not -

break in is when there is still a layer of wax coating on the tyre itself. so ride carefully during those few hundreds km.
there are 2 types of tyres (tube and tubeless). the disadvantage of a tube tyre is that if u run into a nail or other sharp objects, it would lose its aire pressure immediately, causing the rider to lose control. the tubeless tyre does lose air pressure, but its after a few days period. -
but if never corner hao can the wax drop of?
hmm.... i oso don quite understand this leh.... can get it off manually rite? by scrubing wif brush and soap... but will it effect the tyres proformance? -
eh, can tell me wat's the diff btw front & rear wheels? so wat tyre configuration good? thanks =)

hi Ivan22
the wax is a natural part of the tyre rubber. it is not advisable to scrub it off. just ride normally and do not use maximum speed and cornering angles. -
Y.k tyres will crack ciz they are overdue.. tyres have a shelf life and a usage life also..Originally posted by YaoKuai:And idea how does the threadings on the tyre affects its performance?

The Kawa bikes (KRR, Victor etc) tends to have thin tyres, so any good brands or model for bikes like that?
