Tyre recommendation.
Morning all. Can anybody recommend a good brand of tyres for the SV650? I will be needing some early in the new year.
Cheers!  Graham. |

Re: Tyre recommendation.
Theres lots really, and as fizz has said read through the tyre section. Given the time of year, it might be good to get something soft on for more grip; some companies manufacture a dual compound tyre (michelin road pilot 2 for example) which are harder in the middle to last a bit longer

Re: Tyre recommendation.
All depends on which type of tyre are you looking for? Sports, sports touring etc

Re: Tyre recommendation.
You will be wanting a sports touring tyre then. The Metzeler Z6 is popular with riders on this forum but there are more recently designed tyres on the market now. Michelins pilot road 2 is one of these and has done well in tests ive read.

Conti Road Attacks - I'll give them a bump, giving me a lot of notice before they feel like they are letting go.

Re: Tyre recommendation.
I find round ones with air in them are quite good.
Hope that helps. |
