Hey guys ! have just got my NSR and have found the Pirelli tyres (originaly came with it) are a bit weak grip wise and tend to make the back clip out a little bit too much Twisted Evil

What tyres would you guys recommend me puttin on ? As when you ask at a Tyre fitters they always want you to put the most expensive ones on !

Well I'd recommend Bridgestone BT45's.

I've got them on mine and they're sooooo much better than the shit guarantee-a-crash MT75's. Plus the 45's are good in the wet so ner ner zimma!

The best front tyre is Michelin Macadam 110/70-17. My bike has driven over 24000 km with it. To the back, you can also put tyre, which size is 150/70-17. I recommend Bridgestone Battlax to there.. Wink

If you buy normal size, then i recommend Battlax 45 or Michelin M39.
By the way Metzeler ME 1 is too good choise to the back. Smile

I`m finnish, so I speak that kind of english. But I hope that you Shocked

understand.. Very Happy

My bike is NSR -99.. Embarassed

Do NOT put an oversize tyre on - youll bugger the handling.

is it ok to use different makes of tyres? i need a new back would the bt39 be ok on back with mt75 front or is that a bad idea? also how much do they cost?

different types of tyre is an illegal combination.......different makes is fine!!

ie radial mixed with cross ply tyre is illegal (I think anyway) Confused

pirelli with bridgestone is fine!!
