****** Strictly for reference only. [Super dangerous] ******
I used it to drive the TDM900 on icy & snowy roads in the middle of winter.
But I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing at my own risk, or at least I'm doing something different in Large width than Michelin specifies for use.
So what I'm about to write will not serve as an Impression of this Tire at all.
I can't guarantee safety at all either, or it's clearly dangerous.
Don't ever copy it.
First of all, there's something wrong with the Motorcycle you're wearing.
The TDM900 "Dirt can run a little bit of AdventureMotorcycle It is not true that the majority of people are aware of the fact that it is Large.
It's really just a pure road motorcycle with a little too much WheelTravel.
So it's not the kind of Character that would originally wear such a Tire.
Also, this Tire is a Rear tire (120/80-18), but the TDM900's Rear tire is much thicker (160 width) and is 17in. to begin with.
18-inches is Front.
So I installed this rear tire on the front of TDM.
Yes, Out!
By the way, TDMOEMSize is 120/70-18.
Furthermore, this Tire "TT. It is a tube tire.
Needless to say, TDM's front tire is Tubeless.
So, I usually remove Air Valve from Rim and wear it using Tube even if I force it to wear it, but this time "Stay tuned. I used it as a Tubeless tire.
Yes Out!
Because the shape of the Bead part is different, it may come off the Rim, and because there is no air leakage prevention seal on the back side, which is required for tube tires, the possibility of ThrowPuncture char is Large.
Moreover, we have reversed the direction of the Rotation for maximum Block rigidity at the time of breaking, since the front tire is originally a rear tire.
Yes Out!
Since the direction of rotation of Carcass and Tread is opposite, there is a possibility of tread separation and bursting in Large.
And in order to somehow change the cross-sectional shape of the tire from the original one for the rear tire to the one for the front tire, we applied unbelievable high pressure (8kg) to deform it and use it.
Yes Out!!!!!
This also aims to prevent the Bead from coming off and to keep the air pressure up until you return home after the ThrowPuncture treatment.
It's already messed up.
By the way, the profile was far from the original shape of the front tire, and the Handling was awful Level.
You won't sleep, you won't bend, you won't run out of SelfStir.
But once it starts to bank, it cuts in the opposite direction, so it's similar to the feeling you get when you ride a puncture on an on-road motorcycle.
But the air pressure is extremely high, so the only vibration transmitted to the car is super hard, which is a hell of a thing.
So, I ran such a hell Tire with snow(less), freeze(less), Asphalt of Wet & Dry, but the Bead didn't come off even if I ran about 1000km.
ThrowPuncture char does a little bit, but it's less than 0.1 in a week, so it was not a problem Level.
But this may be because the BALI and sink marks in the bead section are corrected one by one by hand before assembly of the tires, and the tires are shaped like a tubeless tire before assembly.
I was going to coat the back side of the Tire with Silicon sealant if it leaked from the Tread surface, but I didn't have to go that far because "Because Michelin's good. Is it? It's that thing. It's a mystery.
And getting used to it is a scary thing...
In the second half of the 1000km run. Yeah, it's a tough ride. It felt like a pretty normal ride.
The feeling is that the front tire is extremely unevenly worn on the on-road motorcycle, and the air pressure is not sufficient for the large width.
I don't have the guts to overload the front tire with such a feel, so I tried not to overload it as much as possible, but the block after 100km was only about 8 parts mountain.
Is it quite a bit less for the durable Rear tire used on the Front?
However, since the air pressure is super high, you can't expect any grip across the Tire at all, and would have simply relied on the grip that Block's Rubber has.
So maybe it's not quite the opposite?
Also, I didn't slide Large on Asphalt in such conditions.
Michelin is amazing.
