MCN Long Term TMax

Post by **MrGrumpy** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 2:14 pm

There is another article in this week's MCN from the guy who's running a TMax long term.
This month he splashed out on an Akrapovic exhaust (a mere Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£780.....) he says it sounds lovely and the scoot goes better. It'd better at that price!

Also says that he changed tyres after getting 7500 miles out of his original Dunlop GPR100s - How did he manage that??? I can barely get 4000 miles out of a set of tyres on my mk3! I could just get 6000 on the mk2, but 7500 no way. Anyway, he said he fitted Michelin 2CT Dual Compound tyres to it - I wasn't aware they did these for the Tmax, so thats another option.

Curiously, said dual compound tyres are not listed in TMax sizes on the Michelin website....

Whilst the rear is admittedly slightly flat around the middle (winter riding) the OE tyres on my 2011 TMAX have covered 9200 miles and still have a fair bit of wear left, so it is possible.......

What am I doing wrong?????? Its not as if I do burnouts or wheelies, or blast down M-ways at 90mph all the time!!!
