@@MOBStreet83 I’m sure it will be a huge improvement over the stock tire, even though my cheap ass got my money’s worth out of that one. I logged most of my miles on the TW on pavement and well-maintained gravel roads. I’ve done a fair amount of off-roading on more traditional dirt bikes, in the past, but the TW200 has been largely a commuter and grocery getter since I purchased it new in 2014. It’s been sitting under a bed sheet in the garage for the last five years or so but that’s going to change this year. My parents bought a camp, way up in the Great North Woods of Maine, about 2 years ago. There are hundreds of miles of ATV trails, accessible from the end of our driveway. They run right to the Canadian border. It’s mostly hard-scrabble rock piles and loose gravel mixed with some huge granite boulders and shelf for rock-hopping. (No sand dunes though.) I’ve explored some of it with my dad’s Kawasaki Mule but it seems like perfect terrain for the TW200. Thanks for the recommendations on tire pressure! I think I’ll put the TeeDub in the back of my Tacoma and haul it up there this summer. Thanks for checking out my channel, BTW! I’ve subscribed to your channel myself. I’m glad to have found a channel with so much TW200-specific content. I’ve been working my way through a bunch of your videos over the last 24 hours.

The hills I was cruising up before on the blacktop I am having to shift down .tire is very heavy . Do you know how much the shinko 241 ways in comparison to the death wing? The Perelli MT 43 outweighs the death wing tremendously .

@MOBStreet83

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Johnny, thanks for taking the time to comment! The MT43 weighs just under 14lbs......The stock tire, the Bridgestone TW34 in the 130/80-18 weighs 8.84 lbs and the Shinko SR241 in the 4.00x18 weighs 12 lbs. They are heavier than the stock tire but one thing that helps is the tire pressure. I run 20 psi in the front tire with the Shinko SR241 and it feels lighter and more agile than the stock while offering tons of grip. Tire pressure makes a big difference but if you have already done that and you still aren't happy with it, I'd try another tire. Hope that helped!

Could not find a 241 in South Africa and settled for a Shinko E700 120/80-18. It is heavier than a 241 but still beats the deathwing hands down. Where I live its mostly sand and asphalt. I haven't tried it in mud so can't say what it is like there, but suspect it'll be a step up.

@@MOBStreet83 it's been a great improvement over the wing, but still feels a little squirmy on the loose stuff. I keep it at about 1 bar or 16 psi. I weigh about 90 kg or 180 lbs. The front could do with beads for on road driving as the balance is a bit out, I especially feel it when cornering. In the rear I alternate between the bridgestone and a kenda 80/20 on off road depending on what terrain I do most. Changed the rear rim to tubeless and that's made a world of difference too. But one thing I do find about the TW tires are that they are pricey, the front cost me what 2 x 14" tires cost for my car (about R1700 or USD 106).

I have the 244 shinko both of my TWS, it's a great Tire it handles everything I put at it even mud. I have not tried the 241 it's a bit like the original tire and size, narrower than the 244. The 241 because it is narrower would be better I think in sand. Maybe that might be my next tire but wait and see right now I love my 244s

I went with the 3.50 width on my t-dub seems good, only problem it has a slightly smaller diameter then the 4.00 ,which makes the speedometer even more of a dream meter. I was wondering how accurate your speedometer is? Even with the original deathwing mine was pretty far off thanks for your videos they're very good. What no April fool's joke? I thought you were serious that time, you got me that time

Yeah, I was trying to think of what to do for an April fools but nothing came to me......I was trying to think of something though! My speedo isn't all that bad really. Not until I get over 55mph and then it starts to wander a bit. But, I have been pretty close with the GPS and the cop speed limit traps that I have gone through to check it.

Hey Matt, I ordered the SR241 to replace the "death wing". I'm going to run the stock TW34 on the rear. Can you comment on how it handles on the pavement i.e. wet conditions, grip, vibration, etc? I'm going to be using my Tdub for 70% street, 30% off-road for the foreseeable future. The majority of my riding will be well below 50mph. I'll mainly be commuting around town on a mix of smooth and rough paved street. My commute to off-road riding will be around 10 miles on pavement. I was really torn between the SR241/TW34 set up and getting the Bridgestone TW203/TW204. A lot of people in the forums said the TW203/TW204 set up was really solid for pavement and longer highway commutes, but it sacrificed off road capabilities and was less reliable/predictable in loose dirt and gravel. I think I made a good choice, but there's not much I can find about a predominate street riding experience with the SR241.

Man I love the SR241 and stock rear tire combo! I have ridden with it more than a thousand miles now and I want to run the same setup on my other TW. The Road performance of the SR241 was a noticeable difference over stock. I have had it over 55 mph and there isn't any vibration nothing but confidence on the pavement. I ride the road with it all the time and my wife prefers that setup over my K180's on my other TW. I prefer it as well and it is a great all around setup. I think you made the right choice by choosing that tire.

Do you think it would be worth getting even if you don’t have much trouble with the stock does it really make a difference? Bc since the price is so good I was thinking about getting it.
