Ok guys so, sold my Gixxer back in september and had Bridgestones on that which i didnt like. Ive heard alot about Kumho tyres and quite fancy a pair.

Im looking to get myself a ZX6R sometime in the next few months and would quite fancy replacing the tyres with something decent...and not bridgestones again.

Can anyone recommend me any? Smile

I didn't know Kumho made bike tyres...?

Personally I don't get on with Bridgestones, and I prefer Pirellis. My favourite for the road is the Pirelli Diablo. Neutral turn in, and loads of feel. Great tyre.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I've got Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas on the R1, and they're amazing.

Cool

I'm pretty sure Kumho don't do bike tyres... and if they did, they'd be shit.

I'm using them on a big twin. 1500 winter miles, no complaints from me.
Seen they now have the PR3 with added tread, so maybe the PR2 isn't as good in the wet.
