Tyres

[Dr Nick]

Once again my bike needs new tyres, i put an 010 on the rear about 2 months ago, and now i'm left with no tread at all .

The front needs replacing too, so was thinking about changing to 207rrs front and back, or should i stick with the 010's .

I know a lot of people have a lot of praise for the 010, but it hasn't lasted me long.


PS. Any other suggestions of tyres?

Hornet has a 120 front and 180 rear.

Thanks

i personally would try to keep the same tyres on the front and rear, as different tyres may equal different compounds of rubber resulting in different levels of wear etc.

try using and 010 on the front and an 020 on the rear

the 020 is a slightly harder wearing rubber compound than the 010...but the compounds aren't to far apart and so shouldn't cause any problems

What sort of mileage are you doing?

I put 010s on my bike last... June I think. Had 2 trackdays, loads of motorway miles, commuting and and a fair bit of arsing about out of them and there's still plenty left.

Get 207RR's all round They're absolutely great and have lasted me ages.

Using 207rrs on the ZZR, nothing but praise for them.
Stunning piece of rubber

Averaging about 1000 miles a month . My dad can get me Tyres cheaper, and last time the rear 010 was £100 fitted. Are 207rr's more expensive,, same goes with 020's.

Thanks

You must be really hard on your tires.
My Hornet has bt56s and had the front replaced after 2600 miles, cus there was damage to the wall but plenty of tread left, the rear I will replace next week (With 3500 miles on it) cus the last owner squared it off quite badly but I didn’t know what I was looking for when I bought it.

I had a rear 010 on my NC30 that was almost on the wear limiter by 3000 miles, quite dissapointing Especially as the front 090 was easily out lasting it.
