The recommended tires (I don't know if you can fit different spec tires but I don't think so...) on the bandit will have a very high tire wall.
You can still get plenty of lean going on then again why would you want to scrape your footpegs it doesn't make you go any faster Smile

Bandit shape tires have enough for the road (assuming its not a pure shit tire but that goes without saying).

https://www.megaupload.com/?d=2RID8W13 For a hyanes manual


I roll on BT45's and have never had problems with them.
Did a lot of motorway miles so they are a bit squiggly when half leant over but that just means new tyre time.

Ye I know what you mean but I normally hang off a bit if the corner is fast Razz

A lot of people recommend pilot road 2's but I would put bt45's at nearly the same level as them. And a LOT cheaper.
