I just did a delivery today, 1817 various motorcycle tyres. I could have had the pick of anything I wanted,

Road tyres, trail, motorcross, racing slicks, every size you could imagine, every tread compound you could think of.

Pity about the security cameras

Default Tyres - Go for Metzler RoadTec Z6's

Just completed 500 miles on a set of Z6's, they are a massive improvement
on the original D220's.

The front seems really keen to turn in now, and level of grip is so good it's given me the confidence to wind up both front and rear presets by 1 notch each, which has improved the feel of the bike even more.

I went for the Z6's mainly as i saw they were getting good reveiws for mileage.

Very little wear showing so far!
