I am running pirreli tyres on sc1 front and sc2 rear and at pempray in nov they were ace!!
cheers wayne

I had superbike size Chicken Hawk warmers on the Thunderbike SV I used to run with a 160 rear and they worked really well. Because they were slightly on the large side they wrapped around the tyre and shielded the rim too. I brought them as knew id be moving to the 600 the following year and it saved me having to get a new set again a year later.

I'd also add whatever tyre warmers you buy get a set of fleecy tyre sock type things to stop the warmers from loosing too much heat. If you are not in a garage they are a revelation and keep the tyres really warm and crucially allow the warmers to warm up the rims too.

Thanks for all the advice. Got sorted with a pair of superCorsas as a starter and bidding on some used ones as a back-up. Any recommendations for wets?

They are all good. Bridgestones seem popular.

Thanks, where do folks buy them from?

Some on Ebay at the moment, second hand and new, check out "minitwins" etc

Cannot see any in 120/70 R17 and 160/60 R17 sizes, unless I'm being thick which is quite probable!

But 60 and 62 profile, hopefully somebody on here will tell us if OK to fit the SV, shouldnt be a problem me thinks but always best to check. Interested to know

That's the point, are they OK on the SV?
