Nice one, I think...

HOw much was the fitting?

I'll be getting a new one this month, be good to see what sort of price I'm looking at. Tyre is £70.

It was an all in price. I don't know how it broke down.

But for a 180 lb rear tyre I was well chuffed!

Sadie what year is your Bandit? And how come yours has a 180? Whenever I've seen Bandits they have have got 150s? Just wondering...

My Bandit is 1995, and it has a 180 tyre 'cos he's a big boy!

Seriously, though, I have a Bandit 1200 back end.

Hi

A pair of BT010 for the FZR600 (110/70 17 front and 150/60 18 on the back) was £182 fitted to loose wheels.

All the best

Why so much people? My 092s 110 / 150 17" were £155 + fitting onto loose rims (a few quid).

Those 010s sound expensive, are they sports or all rounders?

I suppose the size must make quite a bit of difference.

my back tyre was a 160/60 i think. The had to take the wheel off themselve though.

G, I chose those 092 because I commute and ride in the wet, etc.

TBH they are OK for the road in the dry summer months.

They are the only tyres I've used (they were on before as well). I know the 090 are grippier in nice dry weather, and of course I can understand your view about the 092s not being as good for riding fast.

IME, the bike will be reach its limits with no problems, before the tyres give in. Thumbs Up

I think the 010s are cak for 400s, because they take more time/a long time to warm up (on the 400s), compared to 600s. Smile

These ones are ok for what I do most of the time, and gives me more confidence in these winter months.

Opinions always taken into consideration though, thanks. Thumbs Up
