Re: tyre time again prices / choice ?
 
I use maxxis tyres and they where fine through out the horrible down pours we had here recently. My main problem is changing the rear tyre!! Every time i do it the caliper decides to spit the retaining clip out and the pads drop down. Just out of practice as i've had a single swing arm for a while. That was a total doddle! 2 minute job tuned into half hour. gggrrr.

I've got a pair of the Maxxis Supermax touring versions on my bike no, had them fitted a couple of days back. Feel exactly like the Storm ST's in the dry. Only ridden them on a short stretch of wet road so far but had no problems whatsoever.

In wet seem same as orginal storms ie excellent
In dry seem sticker than the original storms and rear tyre grains up lovely , no chicken strips left and there is more than enough grip for the sv , hope they last ok ...
