I'm trying to cheaply recomission a 1991 CBR1000F and after 4 years in a garage I think it will need tyres.

I've e-mailed a compnay on google and rang but get n response.

Who do you use?

Cheers,
Stu

Just ebay sellers, normally for trackday tyres though. Never had a bad set yet - I don't buy if the photo is really poor.

thinking about these but it will be a while before I need new tires, note they are the wrong profile

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170929246023

pair for that price is great. However they might not last that long and wet grip is important so Im looking out for some used PR3's

Somoene local to me has a pair of new BT023's for £115 but the saving is not worth it if the PR3's are as good as people say.

My set of scrubbed Supercorsa's SC0 were probably the best tyre I've used in the wet. They warmed up surprisingly fast and certainly outperformed the BT021 and Dunlop Qualifiers that I had previously.

I only paid £30 for them though.
