A POLL! for TYRES!

I bet Jelster has steam coming out of his ears...

I got michelin macadams on mine, they seem okay. I had a few twichey sphincter moments in the wet though...

One thing about michelin tyres... that michelin man on the edge of the tread! He is still there... Smiling and waving in my chicken strips - I'm sure he is mocking me.

Time for a track day I reckon, that should wipe the smile of his face. Mwah ha ha

'stone 020's front and rear. 2 rears to one front, around 5-6k for a rear, hardish riding.

Bridgestones. They are about the cheapest of the good brands here in Oz, Far cheaper than Avons which are supposed to be good.
Got 26000km's from the first set of 010-020. Not so lucky with the second set, The rear has had a tube in it since about 8000 km's and I just got a bloody great screw In the front. Will be getting another set soon at about 18000 km's.
No trackdays yet as the owners of the bike(finance company) won't let me because of the Insurance company, Another couple of years to go.
