So, are these tyres dead?

And if so, What tyres do you guys recommend. Its for a Street Triple. I would be looking for tyres with long life, but good fun too.

I have come across Bridgestone t30 Evo's or the BT25, What do you think?

Thumbs Up

nah, far from dead, find a twisty road and take it steady on the throttle and get the bike leaning and you'll wear them back in.

BT's seem to wear oddly and I did not like them on my ZZR very happy with my Road Pilot 3's

Pilot Road 4s are magical in the wet and excellent in the dry (most tyres are good in the dry though)! Smile

Yup, but PR2's don't square off quite as quickly as the later models(And they are still an excellent tyre in the wet). I think Michelin have forgotten that people buying touring tyres want something that lasts longer than a roadrace tyre.
If I wanted a quick wearing tyre that sticks like shit to a blanket I'd have stayed with the Power Pilots.

burnout or just lots of wheelies trying to not wear out the front?

Not sure if it was deliberate or just worn. It came off something similar to one of these but had a pipe each side.
