What do you think of Duro HF319 tires ?
« on: August 31, 2022, 12:20:04 AM »
I'm considering these tires Duro HF319 and would like to hear from someone who's running them now.
How do they handle past 60mph ?
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

 I had one about 5 years ago that was severely out of round. I *think* they sent me a good replacement. I can't remember now.

I got a great deal once on a large quanity from my local dealer and put them on a bunch of 750's for their 'first' new shoes when bringing them back to life. Never had a problem. The rears wear out pretty quickly though, think they may be the 318's ?? I think on that particular deal I made a new front and back was averaging $75.00 for the pair. Good old days and not that long ago !!

Hey camna... Duro's came on my Bomber when I bought it two years ago.  The bike did not ride well over 40mph, changed 'em out to IRC's and made a world of difference. I would not recommend them just to save a buck.

They also make travel trailer tires and if you do a search, you'll find many threads about tire failures.
