Tyre options for Suzuki Gladius

[mattian]

Came with Dunlop qualfiers and getting up close to 20,000ks now and the tread is starting to look a little worn. Certainly will need replacing soon.

I do all weather riding through all seasons. Mostly commuting but the odd trip out of town when I can. I'm looking for a bloody good tyre thats going to give excellent all weather capability. So far the Dunlops have been outstanding. Just wondering if there are any other superior options out there for this bike?

20,000km out of a set if tyres is pretty damn good and if you are also happy with the handling in wet and dry:

Better the devil you know and all that good stuff.

Good luck.

thanks for that. Yeah, I guess there is a very good reason why they come as the stock tyres for that bike.

Michelin Pilot Road 2.

Very good tyre.

Try Pirelli Angels , outstanding wet weather grip and good wear rate too .

Very good tyre.

What he said.

Or if noticeably cheaper, stick with the Dunlop's as you sound pleased with them.

I hated the stock dunlops on my SV650, never did anything scary just didn't feel right somehow and I had no confidence in them. Went to pilot road 2s and love them.

Thanks for all the advice so far :sunny:

After 20,000km, I'd be sticking with the Qualifiers.

After heaps of research, I went pilot road 2s on the SV650

12,000kms so far out of the PR2s and still "heaps left" as told at the WOF 2 months ago.

As Hitcher says - 20,000kms from the Qualifiers is excellent. Do you have much experience with other brands? If the Qualifiers are all you've ridden, maybe there are better ones for the Gladius? Not saying anything wrong, just sayin' if "ya know what I mean" (damn wrong thread).
