8k square and time for some new ones.
 
Well its that time of year again, my Conti's have just gone past 8.5k and are looking worn and noticing more when I ride them. So need to pick some new ones this weekend so would love to hear what people think of there current sets ready for me to get ordering.

I lurve my Pirelli diablo stradas/Z6's, found them better than the Road Attacks as you may remember.

Take your pick from that lot, then go see Essential Rubber.

Think 014's are the sports bikers choice. Depends what you want them for Daniel?

Road Attacks were poor to me on the CBR but would like to try them on the SV. I found they wore down way too quick once squaring off :(

Loved my Stradas - just watch out you don't hit canvas.

014s are rubbish. (If you mean the BT-014's, IMHO!) Not only did they go from nearly new to totaly bald in about 1800 miles on my old Z750, they were rubbish in the cold and damp conditions, merely acceptable in the very wet, and took ages to warm up. However once warm, in dry conditions, they worked well.
