Default Which long lasting tyres?

Hey!

I have had a search before someone says.

I am looking for matching pair of tyres that will be hard wearing and last a little longer. Supplying grip for corners as well as middle for city driving as don't want tyre rapidly going square.

What Brands and Type people Got / Recommend? Plus Rough Prices?

I know you said you did a search, but theres loads and loads of threads in the tyre section on this very subject.

http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay.php?f=138

If you havent seen it have a read in there... If you have and it didnt help apologies...

Basically you want something from the sport touring range of tyres. So

Avon Storms
Metzler Z6
Pirelli Diablo Strada
Michellin Pilot Road 2
Bridgestone BT-021

I wont recommend a specific one, its to personal, but any of those will see you right. Theres no such thing as a bad modern tyre IMHO.

fizzwheel, hands up I didn't realize there was a whole section for tyres.

Sorry. Head in Hands in Shame.
