Am I stupid and am I being robbed - tyres again

I've got to replace the shot Supercorsas and the choice is:

A) Metzeler Sportec M3s - £222/pair fitted

B) Pirelli Diablo Rossos - £244/pair fitted

What sayeth the org please?

Ed

get um from busters/m&p

then take them to be fitted

do you realy need race/sports tyres? if thats what they are?

bit sporty for me so i wouldnt know but my 020's are usually only about £160 a pair how much are conti's on a 675 might be worth a look see.

Dont they do Storm ST's for the 675?

Might get a few more miles out of a pair of those than either of the above......

round and black on ebay. pilot sports 135 a pair. have them on the thou and they are stunning.

Can't imagine longevity is top of Ed's priorities.

I do know everyone is saying tyres are going up due to the weak pound.

What about Pilot Power 2ct's?

Holy feck Ed!!

I pay £206 for ride-in ride-out service for Pilot Road 2's on the SV. For that money, a front lasts around 12k.

What size are the tyres on the 675?

lol, BT0-16's!!!! buy them lol.. only ones for the 675!

Ed, put some sport touring tyres on the darn thing, it'll feel just the same on something like Metzler Z6 as it will on those you have listed. But if you're out in the rain or cold the Sport Touring tyres will work hell of a lot better.

I've put Z6' on my GSXR, in the dry it feels just as good as it did on the Pilot Power 2CT's and the Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's I had on it before, but in the wet it feels 10 times better and they were cheaper... and they'll last longer...

I'm not going back down the route of sporty sticky tyres again. There was an article in ride magazine where they tested Sport against Sport Touring, each time the testers found the sport touring tyres were hotter after a lap of the test track and IIRC there wasnt much in it lap time wise either.

Unless you ride on the track alot you dont need track based sticky rubber IMHO.
