Default Tyres

Hi just after some advice.
I have a set of Avons on my SV650 at the moment, but I am needing a new set now. The avons were on the bike when I purchased it secondhand, but I haven't been very impressed with them. Just wanting to know if anyone can suggest some good tyres for both trackday and road riding.
Thanks for any advice
Chaz

More avons

Viper sport is good, but if I was doing a lot of trackdays I would fit some race scrub supercorsas

Have a look theres loads of info for you to read through

But i dont reccomend bridgestones after my front bt021 was knackered after 3,500 miles and they wouldnt admit there was a fault with it never buying their tyres again.

Ooh- that's not good.

Just put an 021 on the front (to match the rear). Had 020s on last time- the 021s are sposed to do about 10% more miles.

Did the fitter put the tyre on the right way round? That can sap the miles out of them (as I found a year ago...)

I dont do track days or even ride that hard, but a tyre that has impressed me no end for all round performace, both wet and dry, is the Michelin Pilot road 2. Always been a bridgestone man until I used these.

I've just changed my dunlop roadsmarts (lasted me 7500 miles and 2 track days!) to Pirelli Diablos. I've just scrubbed them in at Mallory and was pretty impressed with the grip even in the p***ing rain. Everyone i've spoken to seems to rate them and they are pretty cheap!
