Ive never had to choose a bike tyre before so no idea what are the decent ones and whats budget ditchfinders... also do i need to change the front as well?

2016 CBR600RR

I dont ride in the wet

I ride weekends for fun / b road blast

Roads round me are decent ish.

Would like something sticky ish but not near track tyres as they would be wasted on me right now.

Cheers,

Ash

Greenlanes on a CBR6RR?

MT60RS corsa it is then.

Don't expect them to last very long. My MZ was perfectly capable of eating one every 1000 miles.

What in the name of clacking bell did you think it was?? Shocked

By the way, I'd strongly recommend putting on the same make and model tyre on the rear of the bike as on the front. Mixing and matching can have some strange results, and you don't really want to ruin the handling of a bike as sublime as the 600RR.

Yep, don't skimp on tyres bud. I have Pirelli Rosso II on my bike and they are really grippy and give plenty of feedback to the rider, which is nice.
