What are everybodies thoughts with regards to tires then??? As the spring and summer comes in and new tyres are due what should be selected?????

I am planning to replace my tyres after the winter time as with the weather we are having at the moment there is little leaning going on in the corners and so the tyres will be nicely sqaured and so new tyres means more fun!!!!

When the time comes what should I get!!!

I want to go faster, I want to go faster..

Hi Chris

Yep, still utterly confused. I must admit that at the moment if I need only 1 tyre then i just replace what was on the machine when i bought it, if I needed 2 tyres I would probably think price. Cheers

Hi Ninjawarrier,

I was thinking, shouldn't it be warrior?

Oh well, anywho, sorry about the delay in responding, I thought I'd be autosubscribed to this thread - but I wasn't! Probably too late to answer, still curious? Your theory about tyre replacement is pretty much correctamoso! Just don't go too cheap and watch out for 'special tyre offers', that normally means old stock and you could see a difference in usable mileage!

Bridgestones BT021s sports touring tyres, much much better than the Metzlers fitted to my two wheeled orange, find the metzlers vague, not sure footed as they would like you to think, and made apparently in the same factory as Pirelli, so I am told by my dealer.
I would recommend them anytime.
