Cheap tyres are like cheap condoms - not for me.

Buy at your own peril.

For another £30 you could get a pair of Pilot Sports

[colezxr]

yer ive had thease tires before on my old zxr400, they handle exatly the same as a set of bt020. i found them ok, the front never sliped out on me and i had no chicken strips on it, but i did find the rear a little to hard sometimes as on full acceleration out of a corner it somtimes sliped out,

but for the money i cant fault them, but do think of spending the little extra to get the pilot sports or even conti road attacks

[Mr.Everready]

A couple of guys in the Scottish section have them, they both rate them very highly.

[t121anf]

just ordered some of these after people on gixerjunkies rated them so highly.

might as well give them a go since they cost as much as 1 rear that i currently have on

Agree with the above, I've had a set on the ZZR for about 1000 miles now - can't really fault them at all. Not had them slip out on me yet, riding in all weathers and they seem to give really good levels of grip when I slip into "ride like a cock" mode. Wear rate is looking promising too!

[Mr.Everready]

What ones do you have ? The tourers or the Presa ?

the ones posted above or these ?

[t121anf]

i have the presa ones ordered from Redcar Suzuki via Gixerjunkies.

have to say once i had them balanced properly i was impressed.

they haven't slipped and have given me a good boost in confidence.

[SlimRick]

My front after approx 7000 miles, probably has another 2000 left:

Rear after 1000 - still like new:

[neatbik]

I know lots of people who have used the sportmaxx, and they really rate them.
I'll be trying a pair at some point - for around £160 for a pair they are good value

[Mr.Everready]

[t121anf]

for the sports or touring?

160s or 180s/190s?

[Mr.Everready]

They were the same price, not so many places selling the sports tyres at the moment though.

I've ridden courtesy bikes with them on and I thought they were a good tyre, though they were definitely better in the dry than in the wet.

I usually ride on Bridgestone BT020/021 which I find more consistent wet or dry, they just don't seem to change whatever the weather they are just very good.

But BT016 are even better from new, I rode Nick's Speed 4 on brand new BT016s and they were as good new and "greasy" as my BT020/021 were after 1000 miles.

But for the price saving I reckon you can't fault 'em, it's just a shame they don't do a 19" front as I'd try them.
