Putting a Street Tire on the Veteran Sherman MAX

[@mgtowlevel5293]

I went from a pilot street tyre to a shinko 241 on my MSX V2. Went from a 18" diameter to a 20". Way more stable which was what I was looking for. Less nimble but also less squirrelly. No longer running nasty slime. Also converted to tubeless. The cursing was flying that day. I believe the lugs on the knobby tire provide more beef to the tire and more puncture protection. It's almost like an alligator's back. Cheers M8!

Great tutorial video. Thanks.

[@SlowenLow]

Excellent video! Very helpful. Per the Leaperkim inspection checklist, the factory uses 85N torque to tighten the pedal hanger bolts. In case anyone is wondering.

[@gorankirhner]

Just thank you! I am expacting my Sherman Max next week so this video is on my bookmark as a "how to" when I decide to move on street tyre which I already bought it, it is a Michelin Street Pilot. :)

[@spartacus3570]

Loved the video thanks for taking the time to film during the stressful prosses. Imo these kind of videos are more helpful then reviews. It really helps give other riders like myself the confidence to work on our own wheels. Looks like they did a good job on the max really enjoyed seeing the inside 👍

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Your welcome, I do enjoy working on my wheels and it is part of the hobby 😜

[@ninja636king]

great informative video. thanks. I really want to do this with my MAX. I'm just gonna keep testing the stock tire some more. I kinda like it. even though I have street tire on my RS and love it.

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Thank you! this weekend going for a long range ride, i will know more about tire.

[@mcfly_ev]

Great video! Very informative.

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Your welcome

[@fredisyoga873]

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Let me know your thoughts on tire!!

[@benningtonbennington4122]

Hi friend... What size is that pilot Michelin?

[@muhammadnaem9034]

[@SubdEUC]

🙌👏🙌👏👍👍👍👍

[@busmemorija]

Tell me i have 80 80 14 on my V1 Sherman old rim... Can I also put 80 90 like yours? Thanks man

[@milordas]

10:49 if bolt have lock nut, it realy does not need locktite glue. And why the hell manufacturers do not adding connectors under battery cover for motor cable, to not open controller box... there realy is 100a connectors. AND tire is installed in reverse position!! Because its front moto tire, it is mounted reverse on motorbike, but not on Sherman, we need rear tire direction as its a grip wheel

[@jarehelt]

from what I can tell you put on the rear pilot street 2 tire. Wouldn't you want the front one for an euc?

[@mcfly_ev]

That’s the front/rear 80/90-14. If you read the side it shows what direction to put it on for front or rear. The way he has it mounted is the front direction. In the Pilot 2 the front tire has a big grove down the middle and it is 70/90-14.

[@Monarhh369]

Can heating of glued ares help to remove top cover easier?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Doing this could damage screen amd seal they use is high rated heat.

[@Monarhh369]

@@FrenchUsaEUC Thank you so much for your response. Removing this top cover my main fear...

[@justmeandmy2boyz87]

Where did you place the flat head screw driver to pound off the top? In the edge of the screw holes? Did you scratch of the cover? Thanks!

[@justmeandmy2boyz87]

Actually, now I see you used a Phillips

[@TheLasersimon]

What size is the tool u are using to take off the big 3 screws on both sides? The size on the hextool? Time 05:38 Sorry for bad english :/

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

It is metric but I won’t know size. Wheel have been returned.

[@TheLasersimon]

@@FrenchUsaEUC gotcha.

[@eheas320]

@@FrenchUsaEUC why did you return it?

[@unknownguy359]

If it still helps, the bolt's head is a 8mm hex drive. The bolt itself is a 9mm.

[@fisttaface]

When i was looking up the tire to purchase it asks of its the front tire or back tire. Then to select size. It shows a 80/90-14 46s and a 80/90-14 40s. Which did you buy

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

80/90-14 46s, going to add info in description...thanks for asking!

[@fisttaface]

@@FrenchUsaEUC thank you for the info. Is it a front tire

[@pocho3881]

@@FrenchUsaEUC is it front or rear tire?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

@@pocho3881 I put tire info in description ‘front’

[@pocho3881]

Thanks

What PSI did you end up sticking with?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

30 psi

[@WILSONsHobbies]

hey man i just got the tire but what inner tube should i get?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Awesome you got tire, I used stock inner tube!

[@WILSONsHobbies]

@@FrenchUsaEUC link? thank you :)

[@JonahHax]

You put the tire on in the wrong direction..

[@kellystone7501]

Based on? He installed it in the usual direction of a front motorcycle wheel. Better for traction while turning or breaking. Though at EUC speeds, it probably makes little difference.

[@oldretireddude]

@@kellystone7501 I agree that on an EUC it probably makes little if any difference. The chevron pattern normally points forward, when viewed from the top of the tire, to better extract water and debris from the contact patch. Depending on the application, many times this is changed depending on whether it's a "driving" or "driven" wheel application.

[@jarehelt]

would a 90/90 -14 fit?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

Not sure, ask that question to an euc forum.

[@mcfly_ev]

Not it’s too wide. If you want a bigger tire the biggest you can fit is 80/100-14. That size is available in the original Michelin Pilot Street. It was discontinued and can be tricky to find. Easyparts.nl has them.

[@jarehelt]

Where do I buy this tire?

[@FrenchUsaEUC]

I got my tire from eBay but they are out of stock.

[@mcfly_ev]

Revzilla, Cycle Gear, easyparts, tripleclamp. You can also get the Michelin City Pro, the Michelin City Extra both in 80/90-14.
