Guys,

Which of these tyres do you think I should buy this week?

1. Mets Sportec M1
2. Dunlop D208
3. Bridgestone BT014

Any comments would be most appreciated

I like fast twisty A road riding however still want some durability cause I like touring. Budget is about £150 fitted. Been riding for two and a half years. Bike has been modified with Devil race can, BMC filter and Re map. No other chassis mods. Suspension has been set up for me. Hope this helps. Dont really ride in the rain a lot. Does anyone?

not tried them but the mechanic at the bike shop said they sold more of the bridgestones than any other.

We loved the Bridgestone BT010's, and quite happily changed to the 014's when the 010's were phased out................BUT..................we only got around 2,500 miles to a rear on the 014's. Stupid mileage. So now we are running with a pair of Pirelli Diablo's, but haven't had them on long enough to give a definite mileage expectation.

Had NO quibbles with the 014's about anything but the crap mileage.

Personally, I think I will stick with the 208's. Seem tp be a good all round tyre. Was going to go for the conti RA but hearing too many stories against them Im afraid.

Metz Z6's IMHO :!: Think Richie would agree too :?:

Z6s for me too - I've done 3600 miles on mine, and they don't show any real signs of wear yet - I would say I am a quick rider on the road, so it is not as if I am riding liking a Scoobs
