Hey,

Does anyone know the best combination of tyres for this bike?

Its got Bridgestone 020s at the moment and it handles badly. Any better ideas?

My zzr-600 has Dunlop sports-qualifiers on it and handling is much better than on 020's.

Used Dunlop 207RR on mine for the last 8k, I like them. Easy to roll into the corners and I've never had them feel like the grip was going, even when riding a little too exuberantly.

And you have an 1100 yes? If so, they sound like the tyres that could make my bike better.

Well, the qualifiers are much softer than the bt-020's that were on but the grip is much better. I did rag them to pieces at Silverstone though and have done less than 2000 miles on the set so far with maybe another 2-3000 left i them if I'm lucky.. Wink

First track day ever, so forgive me if the bike wasn't all the way over.. Smile

Next time's the charm.. Wink Would've been less worn (marble sized rolls of rubber peeling off) if Id've pushed it all the way over.. Smile
