Re: Tyres, Tyres, Tyres! Which?
Quote:
 http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=98560 I like the Storms a lot, they beat the crap out of the OEM Bridgestone BT021s on my VFR. Loads of folks also rate the Michelin Pilot Road 2s (aka PR2s) as a sports touring tyre that gives good mileage, but as Fizz has already pointed out there is not really a duff tyre out there these days.

Re: Which long lasting tyres?
I use PR2's, on my 3rd? set now I think.
I think they are excellent tyres, give a good grip/mileage ratio. But as pointed out, no such thing as a bad modern tyre. I would say, try the storms or the PR2's. |

Re: Which long lasting tyres?
Hi,
I got just shy of 10k from the avon storms , think I got approx 8k from diablo stradas & metz z6's , really rated all of them , my favs were stradas & storms , just that storms last longer that swung it for me pr2 were more expensive which put me off being a tight wad I've just fitted another pair of avon storms Cheers Steveg

Re: Which long lasting tyres?
I discourage people from bridgestone BT021's after myself not particularly ever liking them.
But thats just me, you might like them... |
