New Tire

I change my Elegan's rear tire. Brand, Kingstone and size 130/70-13. Made in Malaysia.

The tire looks small but seems higher that a 70 series. It has a very rounded profile.

So, the performance? Well, for a RM76 per piece, installed, I say it a reasonable tire. At 120km/h on the highway, it still quite stable on dry highway. I have tried taking a few sharp corners and it feels good.

But, of course, for a more serious rider, I think you should evaluate it carefully before diving into sharp corners and high speed. For me, it is more than enough. But I still have not try it on wet road, I mean really wet, like a monsoon down pour.
