RE: New tires feel so good. - KubaGrom_imp - 02-22-2022
Hi Peter,
I did my research and noticed that the only options I have are Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T31 and Pirelli Sport Demon. Not mentioning Dunlop D205 (out of stock everywhere I checked)
So I was just wondering if putting a tube inside 160/60R18 is something someone already tried

I let other members express their opinion, as I've never had tube type tires.
You may want to convert to tubeless. Use forum's "Search" option, right-top corner.

Thanks, I was considering that at some point, but it seems a little bit too expensive at the moment.
I've seen on instagram a lot of people from Japan putting tubes in tubeless tires, so I'm not worried about this part, just wondering if someone did that with wider tire.

I’m running tubes in the radials of my spoked-wheel R1200R. 180/55-17 and 120/70-17. No issues. I’m not in Japan.

I asked Bridgestone if they supported a tube in the T31 tyre and they said yes. They would of assumed I would use the correct size inner tube for my selected tyre size of course, I never asked to that detail. In the end I just converted to tubeless but it was a little dear.

Not only do they look great, but they feel amazing. Could just be the new tires in general, but I definitely feel like the tires grab better than my Dunlop’s ever did.
They didnt work out for me. I have a slightly used set same sizes probably have 1k at the most on them you can have both for $100, only catch is you have ti pick them up. In the Sacramento area.
