My son has taken his 450ss to the tail of the dragon 2 times now and going back next may. The stock tires are good. He can almost drag a knee no problem. We pushed it pretty hard this last trip and he kept up or lead me no problem at all.
@@mattsloop2736 with some heat in them, they’ll get the job done. Doesn’t excuse that they are cheap and do not provide the same benefits other tires such as Dunlop, Michelin, pirellis etc provide. Without the temps being favorable, these tires are very sketch. I have short summers and love riding during spring, summer and fall. These tires will last you but still highly recommend getting rid of them once they’ve been used and not going back when there are better options. Safe riding, and keep them two wheels down unless popping a wheelie!
@Galacticmoto very true. We will be upgrading his when they are worn. The bike is fenominal tho for a beginner bike. I own a ducati monster and ride his 450 all the time just for fun.
The stock tires I have over 4,000 miles handle great in snow, ice, rain, heat, sand in Wisconsin rode mine most winter. Just keep them at 32 psi front and 36 psi rear.....I have never had issue at all with them losing traction. I flat out take corners at 70-80 mph really leaning the bike. If you're leaning wrong on flat tires you will get slippage. Possibly low side....the traction is on the edge of tire not at center. Don't be afraid to really push tires to their limits. Don't lean into turn close to road. lean bike by pushing inside peg sitting on top of bike during turn. This will help you see whats coming around the corner also help balance point.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 highly appreciate your comment and you give good points, although I push these tires hard as well hitting corners around the same speed you mentioned and some at 130 depending how the roads are. I have minimal chicken strips left but more so because I’m leaning properly and not having to utilize the entire tire when not needed. These tires work better and perform better at lower tire pressure cold, 30 front and 28-29 rear on hot days. These tires do not perform that well if the weather is some what cold, say 50 and below. They also do not provide good feedback to the rider. Good tires provide road feedback. On track these tires would do the job but obviously better quality tires would really help you push this bike more so. These tires are also round whereas Michelin power 6s, GP, etc have more of a triangular shape for quicker turn in and larger side and edge contact patches offering better performance than these stock cheap tires.
@@slokingkevin4629 Honestly had low expectations but they really put a lot into the bike, so cheaper tires really isn’t that big of a deal for me at the price point. Easy to swap out and get better tires. So if anything I’m glad they went the cheaper route on the tires.
Either works so whichever floats your boat, you may use. The wonders of the multitude of the English language. Similar to eat and ate, I prefer ate. Both are correct depending how it’s used although eat is used more often at least in my area.

Robsolutely runs Road 6 tires on his 450SS. I love his videos.
@@MasonWood-s5c yeah I’ve seen a few of his videos for sure.
Followed as a fellow cfmoto 450ss creator

FUDGE! Do you kiss your mother with that language. Lol
"High rate of speed"? An Americanism? How is that different from "high speed".
