Had these tyres on my old srad, only tyre I've ever used to actually hold it's shape and not square off, plus they're bloody cheap..

Would I be at risk of suicide fitting a set on a daytona 675? My understanding is there a sports touring tyre...

It's currently on suoercorsas, great soft tyres but they soon go square on the road... Any thoughts?

Had them on the R1, can't fault them. Held up to the 30 degree heat and 170mph+ in Spain as well as copious amounts of straight line motorways without a hitch.

I was talking about this with my local bike shop, back in the early 90's I was 18 and a absolute hooligan on a fzr1000, I cant remember what i was running on back them but, I think everyone will agree tyre technology has moved on massively, and as long as it s a reputable brand you cant go far wrong for day to day riding or even on road weekend blasts. I run conti attack's on my ducati and love them, I rate them more than Bridgestone BT016 PRO that i had on it.

That said I Have some pirelli diablo supercorsa BSB on my fireblade they are outstanding but 700 miles from a rear says it all, show them water it murder death kill Smile

personally i would have no issue fitting any top line brand to any bike as very rarely do they get used any where near the limits

The Stradas on my Thundercat have finally worn out; I have loved every mile on them. Looking at replacing them and you can pick up replacements cheap, but they stopped making them years ago so any you buy now will be getting on a bit before they even go on the bike.

I just can't get past the gimmicky tread pattern on the Angel STs. I'll probably follow the herd to Michelin PR3s.

Wait till the stradas run out first, m&p are still doing them at £140 a pair!
