New tyres?
 
Third set of tyres on the sv650 now due. The bike has done 11000 miles from new on a 06 plate. Standard tyres from new, which were the Dunlop`s sportmax. Lots of talk about Dunlop roadsmart and metzler z6. I will be changing both tyres. The bike is used all year and in weather which now seems to be a lot of rain. I dont think i know how to ride in the dry. Are the metzlers z6 better than the Dunlop roadsmarts on mileage?

Lots of hype on the Z6 and haven't heard anything about the Sportmax. Personally i liked the sound of the Avon Storms and they are cheap too so i've just purchased a set.

No other explanation needed ..... "do it , do it knawwwwwwww" (arnie shwarzenegger impression)

Dunlop Sportmax are good , Avon Storms are a Xmas dinner , Birthday , first womanly experience and 17 orgasms better :D (lets face facts .. who`s counting after 5 anyway :D)

Thanks for all the replies, i am going to give the avon`s a try. Are their only one type of avons for the sv. Does anyone have the tyre code? Have got caught out before paying for the old tyre model.
