Tyres

[Yamahampton]

After a 600 mile trip over the weekend my battle axe tyres on the thunderpussy have finally had it, the front has reached the legal limit and the rear is close to it and well squared.

I do like the bridgestones but I've never tried anything else on the 'cat
What's the views on the maxxis range?
Where can I get reasonably priced tyres online?

I'm a dry day rider, do less than 1000 miles a year on ride outs and may have odd weekend touring rides, quite a conservative rider but do enjoy taking to the limit now and then so do want the trust in tyres 😉

Any suggestions and views welcome

Cheap tyres https://www.oponeo.co.uk/ is worth checking

Take a look at a set of Pilot Road 3s, lots of people on here would recommend them.

Roundandblack on fleabay are quick, very reliable and usually reasonably priced.

The maxxis are a budget tyre and, speaking personally, are a better quality tyre than is reflected in their price BUT they aren't Michie Power Pilots and will do most of what you want very well - I tried the supermaxx diamonds and found they lasted much longer than the Power Pilots and had marginally better life than the Pilot Roads (PR2's are my tyre of choice) but if you ride them hard don't be surprised when they break out from under you.

I've used them before and it was all good. Mine came on a fully tracked delivery, when they were supposed to. No problems at all.

They also say that all their tyres, according to the DOT mark, are under 3 years old. You would need to be careful of that with some other sites.

I know. I was dubious myself first time I ordered, but a few other people here have had tyres from them and no problems.

The last set of PR3s I got were about £40 cheaper than anywhere else I could find at the time.
