Bike magazine tyre review
Morning all, I picked up a copy of BIKE this month (July edition) and found a big sports bike tyre review. Apparently they did a sports touring tyre review last month (June) which I'm keen to see the results of. Can anyone help please? Need new tyres this week.

I'll vote for the Roadsmarts too. Been running them for a wee while now and was out on the greasy, wet roads yesterday. Not even the slightest doubt or hesitation- anywhere.
They're supposed to last for ages and from the handling on them to date, I'm chuffed. B.T.W. before the question arises - they're Triple Compound and set me back £170 ride-in, ride-out. Garry:cool: |

In this test though there was no mention of tyre life, so a little confusing for some.

+1
the results are (on the Sport tour tyre at least) based how fast they could go round a circuit.... where, as im sure quite a few people swear by Conti roads attacks as an all rounder. |
Re: Bike magazine tyre review
Good to see the Z6/Stradas do so well after all the recommendations on the forum. I'll either be getting the roadsmarts...or a new bike! Went into my local dealer to talk tyres and servicing and got seduced by a Gsxr.
