Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)

Actually I think it´s a Custom/Cruiser tire.
The Speed Class is H (=210 km/h) and the tire looks quite similar to many Sport/touring tires. Take a look at the picture on the address below, it´s the exact same tyre. Cost me 99 Euros (including installation on the rim).

Couldn´t find the tire at Shinko USA website, I guess the equivalent is this one:

(the picture is of a whitewall-tire only available in 130/90-16)

I see that Avon do the following AM23 sizes:
140/80VB16
160/80VB16
180/60VB16
These seem to be track tyres so should handle well.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
The Avon AM23 was discontinued a couple of years ago.
The 180/60-16 would now be a AV72 Cobra, the 150/80-16 an Azaro AV46 ST (see latest document of compliance from Ducati Germany in my dowloads thread).
The other sizes are no option.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
Just FYI, I dunno details of this problem:
Got a copy of a mail between 2 big tyre distributors over here:
A customer is using Pirelli Sport Demon 120/80 V16 & 150/80 V16 on a 16" Paso.
38 istead of 40 sprocket, rear cold be difficult to take air when switched to.
Front fender had to be raised.
Rear was 160mm wide when mounted.

I have proved 150-80-16 in my Paso and it was not a good idea. This tire needs an inner tube to be inflated. An inner tube is 1 kg more, and this tire is very thin. The surface on the road is very little when you ride on a twisty roads and this surface finish suddenly. You always ride in the edge of the tire.
I have running with muy rear Shinko 747, only with a rear 8 mm spacer, without modify the front sprocket and I have no problems during 5000 kms.
I bought it in www.neumaticos-online.es but I checked the list and this tire don't appear.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
Im running this set up myself and Im having good results, not standing up on corners when braking, a lot more grip and more forgiving than those horible michelins also my tyer man had no troubles fitting rear without a tube so all is not lost in this tyer game. This though is only tempory as im slowly gathering all the parts 2 change over 2 17s with 120/60x17 and 160/60x17. I would like 2go wider on rear but dont like all the issues with front sprocket and chain clearence, I think also that this bike might need more wrestling in the corners with the wider tyer and I cant have me mate beat me with his Moto-Guzzi 1000 through the twistys but then this is only an opinion as ive never ridden a paso with wider tyers any way spring is here and summer is waiting around the next corner so Im off 4a ride 2find itTamburinifan wrote:A customer is using Pirelli Sport Demon 120/80 V16 & 150/80 V16 on a 16" Paso.
Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
I have bought a Pirelli Demon for my front wheel, but I have tried a 130-70/16 size. When I'll ride with it I'll put some photos.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
These are the pics of my new front tire 130-70/16:
I'll prove it next sunday and I'll post my impressions about it.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
Hey G...have you gotten around to riding your Paso, yet? I'm vurious about the front sprocket arrangement. My machinist has been too busy to do much of anything lately. He was machining an aluminum rear wheel spacer for me and heated it up too much and warped it. That's the last thing I need. He said something about making one out of stainless, now. Since it's free, I can't really complain, but I was hoping to have ridden it a few hundred miles with the shimmed sprockets by now. Maybe I'll get the last parts from him as a Christmas present.

Re: Paso 750 Rear Tire solution (160/60/16)
Hey, Pompone!
Thanks for the nice pics.
Listen, I used to teach English in Spain when I was younger, and I just can't stop myself here. Your English is very good, but there is a mistake you and a few other guys are making a lot here.
We don't use 'prove' (probar) the way you guys are using it. The words we use in this way are 'try' (intentar) or 'test'.
So where you say 'I'll prove it...' you should say instead 'I'll test it...' or 'I'll try it..' or 'I'll try it out...'
OK?
All the best,
Erskine

Not entirely accurate, while it may appear a clumsy use in normal conversation it is often used in engineering/scientific settings just as statedWe don't use 'prove' (probar) the way you guys are using it. The words we use in this way are 'try' (intentar) or 'test'.
So where you say 'I'll prove it...' you should say instead 'I'll test it...' or 'I'll try it..' or 'I'll try it out...'

Very good Skins It would be nice, if i make some mistakes and You correct it then. I am not upset from such and i take it as "learning better basic english". Its good, that someone, like You, read posts just with that "eye" and teach us to write better english
