You aint nothing but a RoadHound

Huge Thanks to Eurogrip for giving me a pair of Eurogrip Roadhounds sports touring tyres for me to put onto my Suzuki GSX650F (120/70/17 + 160/60/17)

This blog will be an on going blog as i shall update this as i move from my Bridgestone Battlax T32 (read more about them here...) to my Roadhounds.

fancy a pair? take a look at the Eurogrip Roadhound listing here...

The Tecinical Bits:

Quadrazone compound technology features 4 zones of compound working together to ensure optimal dynamical performances and extended tyre durability:

The superficial layer has a dual compound setup (‘harder’ on the center increasing mileage and stability, ‘softer’ on the shoulders improving grip when leaning)
The compounds touching the ground are connected to the inner structure by an additional layer which increase overall stability in every riding conditions
Compound wings on the sidewall helps in reducing vibrations and heating

Zero degree steel belt technology promotes excellent dynamical performances when riding at high speed, by ensuring the tyre retains its optimal profile even when subjected to high magnitude external forces. This reduces self-righting effect and tyre heating, plus increases stability and trajectory precision

The Fitting!

When browsing the Eurogrip images, I was really drawn to the white lettering on the tyre sidewall. Although the Roadhound tyres don't come with this feature as standard, I took matters into my own hands. Using a white paint pen, I added the lettering myself, and I must say, they look fantastic!

Fitting the Road Hound tyre onto my wheel was a straightforward process. The tyre's flexible sidewalls and high-quality materials made it easy to work with, and the bead seated perfectly with minimal effort.

First 100 Miles (First Thoughts)

It has been an instresting time trying to scrub the tyres in this cold winter. its always wet! so its near impossible to get the 100 DRY miles in. I have enjoyed scrubbing them in however as i was leaving our professional fitting centre in Telford my Rear tyre slipped out. was this down to the tyre or down to me being to heavy with the throtle. (most likey me) apart from that it has been nice to be back on a set of tyres with a steaper profile on the allowing me to throw the bike into the corners again.
