Erm, I don't know! Although I do remember Col saying that the front tyre is a very dodgy make.

Currently running Dunlop 207's, no complaints at all although I'd like to get another set of Pirelli SuperCorsas because they were the dogs on a dry day.

Durex Ribbed, They are pretty grippy and can get a good few miles out of them too.

Dunlop D207's. Seem to be far superior to the macadam 90s that were on the bike when I bought it.

Currently have Bridgestone 010's front and rear.

Also used D208's and D207's.

I'd recommend all 3 to anyone.

BT45's. But that's to be expected, I go thru tyres like nobody's business! 2 month old tyre has 3 nails in it! Evil or Very Mad

For my love,i use Pirelli Dragons,take a bit of warming up but wear well and good in the wet.
and the bikes get "Mates" ribbed for her pleasure.
or "Durex" sensative.

Hi

Varies on the bikes. The FZ and the GPZ have BT45s, the Bimota has D207RRs, the Bandit has Avon Azarros, the Divvy has some Bridgestones (I cannot remember which ones), the CX125 has Pirelli MP7s, the Sintesi has Pirelli MT75s and the early AF1 has Metzler ME22s. Cannot remember what is on the rest.

All the best

Keith

Bridgestone 020s on the ZZR - seem to last well and have a good amount of grip.
Dunlop 207RRs on the Benelli - stickier than a sticky thing on a particularly sticky day! Cool
