FJ1200 Tyres
|
IIRC someone on here has an FJ1200.
I've had four of these in the past and I hated the Pirelli tyres that
came as standard so much that I changed them at the first service. My
Dad has just given me his one as he never rides it and the b*stards in
his area keep breaking into his garages and he fears it will walk
before long. It's low mileage and still has the original Pirellis
fitted so I want to change them. I used to fit Michelin Radials but the
last one I had was years ago so what's a reasonable tyre choice for the
FJ nowadays?
|
I've had Michelin and Dunlop radials on my FJ - but the FJOC advice is
that the FJ was developed for x-ply, so fit x-ply, and I find the
Bridgestone BT45 to be better than the radials, especially in the wet.
|
The FJ was developed on teflon coated Japlops or similar, surely no ones in
their right mind would recommend not using stickier rubber?
|
|
Thanks Rob but the Michelin radials I used to fit were miles better than
the OEM fitment. I've just read a few threads on the FJOC site and the
general consensus seems to coincide with the earlier advice given by
Chris and JB - fit Avons.
|
Others rave about Azaros, but they are also radials.
|
Azaro's are the best tyres I've ever had on my K

While I have your attention, any idea what a 1990 FJ is likely to be
worth? I'll need to specify this on my insurance when I add it. I'm
guessing around £750-800, does that seem about right?
