Sorry...
Need some new tyres, have been recomended Diablo's but had a chat to a local garage and he said dont bother now its winter, they wont last nor would i get my moneys worth out of the tyre and go for somthing cheaper but just as grippy during these months.
So, what do you lot recommend? Price to go no more than £200 prefrebly.
My profiles 120/70 and 180/55 if that helps, bikes a CBR 600 F Sport.
I ride everyday, and do a fair few miles commuting to work.
Thanks!  ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

I'm another for Conti Road Attacks. Nearly all of us in the North Clique use them now. Much stickier than the other sports touring tyres like the 020. They get around this by having deeper tread so whilst they wear out faster there is more tread to go through. I get around 6000 miles from a set and have pushed them to their max on the Yorkshire TT so can tell you they won't give up however much you throw the bike around
Wet weather performance is also the best i've tried yet.
(ram_doom, you don't need to stick a sports on the front with a road on the rear - A lot of people seem to do this..... but manufacturers are well aware of the different loads the front and back receive, and so use a different compound for the front and rear of the same set - i'e, a road attack front is stickier than a road attack rear) |
