Radials work perfectly, there is no extra expense for them. Bt45's are rubbish Pottering to work in heavy rain, needing to stop quick for idiot car drivers, I want the best I can get. My Cbr6 has a pair of racetecs fitted for commuting, they seem to last quite well, 7k for a front.
They are not common but you might be able to get a cheap scrub 110 supercorsa front on ebay, if not rosso2's are always cheap, but only rated H speed in this size,
If no cheap option I would have done same as op, pilot streets should be good. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 2 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
