I'm very disappointed with these tires. I'm loyal to motorcycles. I may never own a car, and I deliver things as a Courier. These are reasons why I want to ride year round. I love riding. I'm going to shop for soft rubber offroad tires, that will still be flexible at these temperatures, and also experiment with some other things.
I really do think that it depends on the road conditions you get every winter - I had to go looking for conditions like this as the worst I usually see is about @ 25 sec
Thank you for this video. I guess these tires are not what I'm looking for. I was right to look for soft compound offroad tires. And run them at a low pressure. This video was valuable. Thank you. And it looks like you need a pinlock visor, snowmobile helmet, or winter goggles with an open face helmet.
no probs - it really does depend on the roads you get in winter as to the tyres that suite. In Hindsigh,t would it have been better to ride in the fresh snow? rather than on compressed tyre tracks? - If I ever have to do this type of road in the future I will give it a go - but I will not go looking for this type of road in the future.
I know this video is 2 years old but if you haven't figured out a good tire alternative for winter get some knobbies and install short spikes ont them. It works in snow or solid ice only though. On clean tarmac it is horrible. Yeah...winter is not welcoming for motorcycles. Your anlas are good for clear winter days. The best thing would be to skip riding when there is snow covering the tarmac. Cheers from Canada.
Sorry for delay in replying. Spikes/studs are illegal in UK . If I was doing this type of snow all the time, I would be on knobbilies and a lighter bike. but this type of snow does not happen very often in my part of UK - (Chester/Cheshire) so I'm happy to use these for the slush that I generally get
Thanks - I don't think I would do it again on roads that bad... Google translate.. Спасибо - я не думаю, что буду делать это снова на таких плохих дорогах...
I use Michelin City Grip Winter. Great tyre for my Vespa 300 GTS. Lots of confidence, lots of milage. Tried in many types of weather including 100mm snow, -10 C (14 F) rugged ice, wet and dry tarmac. Worth every cent! Just adapt to the low friction and prepare for going straight forward a bit if you need to break harder than normal.
Thanks for the Vid. I can tell these tires are giving you zero confidence. Guess I'll stick to the TKC80's on snowy/icy roads... unless someone else can benefit us from experience with something better.
I have never tried the TKC80's would they last my winter riding (1st Nov to end Mar/Apr) - I do about 1300 miles a month (in all weather)? They also do not do a 160/60R17 rear.
@@TheJonnybeau I see.. .well if they don't make your size my point is mute then. But about wear... true they usually wear faster than others but that depends on the type of road surface you mostly use them for... and frankly my personal approach is wear always comes second after grip. In my personal experience they perform quite well in snow... ice.. I don't know of any tire that instills worthy confidence on ice other than using studs really. Ride safe.
TKC80 will be allot worse on normal asphalt. these are not ment to be full blown snow offroad tires these are supose to be normal road tires for normal ploughed road surfaces that have a bit more grip in snow but most importantly of all have a softer rubber blend meaning they stay soft during the cold weather. there are no such thing as all year round tires. winter tires have more natural rubber in the blend to make them more soft during colder temperatures but they are to soft during summer and summer tires have a more synthetic blend that stays harder during hot climates but will be to hard during cold.
yeah but 125cc is bit different than a full size bike. i use to go full send on my scooter back in the day and that thing had scooter sumer sport tires. the only time it was actually slipping and dangerous was during slow speed turns in crossings. so smaller displacement bikes not only weigh less but also have less power to actually overpower that wheel.
@@savagememes873 my 125cc is a full size bike btw you no need 200hp 200-300kg -bike- half-car in winter time for scooter a lot of good winter tyres, because market volume is much more Anlas Winter Grip 2 is better, but only 17" max just buy a modern bike with cornering ABS and traction control 😉
I think you are really brave to still drive with your motor in these conditions.

Спасибо за фильм, отважный, парень.

What are the best winter snow ice tires for motorcycle? I have a 3 wheels MP3 500.
Sorry I would have no idea - I would think that a studded tyre would be best, but they are illegal in UK

hey mate, give more gas - there is plenty of traction! i'm doing 100kmh at -25C on my 125cc 👌😊

Yep - I was only seeing what snow they could take. These are not usual winter road conditions for me... generally 2-3 deg C - slush
