Tony nitrous 0 Posted November 23, 2012 Are they the Sportmax Sportsmarts ? Got them on my B-King. I like them. Tyres are a very personal thing, so many variables, Cost, wear, grip, feel, availability, etc, but I'd be veryhappy to use them again and probably will. I rate them alongside PR3's as my current tyre of choice. No track days, street use ( rare trip to the drags)Lots of mountain / twisty rides, 300kg bike / rider combo,Sporty use, normaly dry not much wet use.

Tony nitrous 0 Posted November 25, 2012 The Sportsmarts I mention before (and posted the link)fit that discription. I push them quits hard and still do a fair distance with a 165hp, 300kg bike and rider combo. Not sure what the price would be like in the UK ? If you say you don't like them that's a perfectly fineanswer, tyre are a personal taste item and we all have different tastes Mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dick65 0 Posted November 25, 2012 too true,also diff tyres suit diff bikes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony nitrous 0 Posted November 25, 2012 ...and different tyres have different size options,some folk won't use the Sportsmarts because they don't comein the B-Kings oddball 200/50, I love them as they do the much nicer (on a 6" rim) 190/55.
