Tyres

[gman]

I need to get a new back tyre. I had the original Metzler and a Pirelli Evo. I found the Evo gave good grip but has worn down after 2.5K in the city.

Any ideas?

Bridgestone BT O-20
Fab tyre. I did 6000 miles on mine. Hard centre...great for touring.

Hi,

I was on the forum a few weeks back re fitting prices. I opted for Bridgestones 020's. I have to say first impressions are really good. I've done about 200 miles on them. They seem to warm up well - even when freezing, are very stable over all surfaces and cornering seems good.
Massive improvement over OE Metzelers.

I could build you a tyre made entirely out of chewing gum and shoe leather that'd be better than the OE :)

Bridgestone 014's all the way. I love them too much for words.
