Which Tyre?
 
Hi everyone,
I'm in a delema , what tyres should I buy for my SV650 K4.
I'm on a budget and looking at touring tyres, mets,maxxis,pirelli or dunlops.
Any recommendations.

Have a mooch on the Tyre Review Section.

But I would recommend Avon Storm Ultra II's, get a pair (front and rear) for about £200. Best Tyre by far in my opinion for price, miles covered and confidence on the road... :-)

Thanks for that, I'm going to look at Avons and maybe Dunlop roadsmarts, tyres are important, I'll just wait a few more weeks until I've saved up enough doe to buy non budget tyres.

I'm now obsessed with my SportSmarts. Never had a slip in the wet despite getting a bit fruity on occasion. As soon as it gets relatively dry you can literally feel the heat in the tyres if you whip your gloves off. Excellent. But pricey!

Pirelli strada £150 a pair ,fitted at local dealer, tempting. One rear dunlop or one rear one front diablo ?

ripa, I am as tight as a ducks **** on a swimming trip to the pond.
Go get the Avons, £/mile win win win.
Had them on the SV, now have them on the Aprilia, I won' be fitting anything else.
