I originally posted this in the Hardware - Tyres forum before realising that forum is more for reviews (doh!) so I'm not too sure where to post this. Moderators please feel free to delete the thread in the wrong forum/merge the threads. My mistake!
SO... before I binned the bike I had a set of Metzeler RaceTech's on her - K1 front (120/70) and a K2 rear (180/55). They were the tyres that came with the bike and both had seen better days - the rear was squared off a little. Anyway, I'll be putting some OEM Dunlops on the bike when she's back on the road - I got them with the front end bibio sold me, both tyres are in great condition.
What I'm wondering is what can I expect in terms of feel and performance? This bike is my first bike so the Metzelers are the only tyres I've known and I think I may have been spoilt with them (although from what I read the SV really shouldn't have a 180/55 rear fitted to it...). I've read various things about the OEM tyre and if I'm honest I'm already worrying about how it'll feel; I liked the confidence the Metzelers gave me, knowing they'd always outperform me. I'd class myself as a fairly pacey road rider although I'm very much still learning.
Any advice/help/suggestions?
