Hey,

Done a bit of searching but a lot of threads mention old tyre models or ones I can't find in the right sizes in for the MC22.

Wanting to know peoples experience on a decent setup for the MC22 for WET and DRY.

140/60 R17 rear
110/70 R17 front

I don't live in the city so I don't need hard compound tyres that will last forever but are shit cornering in the wet. Something that cuts through water nicely would be awesome as I've still got quite a bit of experience to get under my belt before I start sliding around too much XD Would be good to find something that doesn't take too long to warm up either.

Would consider a summer and a winter set if it that is what's needed.

Cheers!

Just did the run up to Picton from Chch the other night when it was just a tad moist :eek: and was pretty stoked with performance. Still have a Bridgestone on the front and the SD on the rear but no dramas from either. Was my first run in torrential rain and I was surprised at how well they cut through puddles/mini lakes on the road. Wasn't out to win any Darwin Awards but I comfortably managed a faster pace than I was expecting.

Wish I installed hot grips beforehand though. Annoyingly my 'winter' gloves are less than ideal in 'winter' conditions :no:
