Right guys, what are the best tyres to have on my curvy 650? It'll not be on the track so uber stickiness wont be needed nor will I be worried if they don't last till the next millennium! So something that has grip to lastabillity in the region of about 65 - 35% Also what size works best for both front and rear?
Cheers.

Loads of useful stuff in there.

Personally I dont think you can go wrong with a pair of Metzler Z6's as for sizes best IMHO to stick with standard tyre sizes.

Pirelli Diablo Stradas in standard fitment of 120/60/17 and 160/60/17.

Cheers

Stadas, Roadtecs or Roadattacks. Or possibly Pilot Roads? I'll be fitting another rear roadtec, and I'm on my second front- they scratch, they last, they tour... Genius.
