Tyre recommendation.
 
Morning all. Can anybody recommend a good brand of tyres for the SV650? I will be needing some early in the new year.

Cheers! :D

Theres lots really, and as fizz has said read through the tyre section. Given the time of year, it might be good to get something soft on for more grip; some companies manufacture a dual compound tyre (michelin road pilot 2 for example) which are harder in the middle to last a bit longer

All depends on which type of tyre are you looking for? Sports, sports touring etc

You will be wanting a sports touring tyre then. The Metzeler Z6 is popular with riders on this forum but there are more recently designed tyres on the market now. Michelins pilot road 2 is one of these and has done well in tests ive read.

Conti Road Attacks - I'll give them a bump, giving me a lot of notice before they feel like they are letting go.

I find round ones with air in them are quite good.

Hope that helps.
