Which new tyres?
 

Hi guy.

This has most likely been chatted about to the ends of the world a back but I'm a new rider and have no comparable experience when it comes to the round black things that keep me upright, my rear Tyre needs replacing as soon as the bank says yes.

So I was wondering should I stick with the standard Dunlop D220 or think about another tyre all together. I like to ride the bike quite hard but well within its limits.

All your help will be very much Appreciated

i dont feel like standard dunlops really last very long if you give the bike a bit of stick, have you looked at michelin pilot road 3's? a better tyre in everyway i feel :) last lot longer and have more confidence in the rain with them too as the dunlops used to slide round quite a bit

I have just done a quick search to see what people think of the dunlops and all I can find is negative reviews.

So if I changed to say the Michelin on the rear would you recommend that I also replace the front at the same time even though the current front tyre is fine.

Plus 1 for the PR 3's, had mine fitted back in April and love 'em. I commute 160 miles a week, every week and they inspire so much confidence in all conditions.

yeah i'd advise changing both at the same time due to different grips and tread pattern, not sure why but its always recommended to replace both

Do you know what a set should cost me around inc fitting

Re: New tyres.

These look ok for budgets, FWR Tyres fit them for £5 per wheel if the wheels are loose £25 if the wheels are on the bike. Never actually been but heard good reviews of them
