Decent fast road tyre

[AshWebster]

need some new rubber on the back before summer - i only ride in nice weather so id prefer something pretty sticky and not good in the wet.

its for a 600RR and i only really do twisties with a tiny bit of motorway if desperately needed.

anyone reccomendations?

I have Rosso Corsa II's on my Street Triple, and they are awesome.

Currently running Pirelli diablo rosso tyres on mine. Not tried them in the wet but on dry roads I'm impressed.
Just one thing - get someone else to fit them because the side walls are tough and makes changing them frustrating.

Rosso Corsas going on on Fri. Sat should be fun going from Battlaxes to these should be a bit different no?

Just make sure you get them up to temp before attempting anything too crazy, they stick like glue once warmed up, not so much when cold.

Very nearly lost the back end into a corner last summer after making a 15 minute stop. It was +30C that day, wasn't thinking and didn't realise they would cool down so quickly I think a little bit of poo might have came out.

I've never had a problem with cold grip with them... But they aren't like the touring tyres on my VFR, I have to say.

Another vote for Metzlers. (Pirelli group of companies)
I have Sportec or something from and rear.
And don't fit a different brand on one position.
Your rr will be noticeable better with the matched pair.
Front and rear wear together. The front is usually only a month or so behind the rear. So more phaph to find t tyre and a shop to fit.
I only fit one if the tyre gets fcuked up before it reaches 1/2 worn.
