Hi guys

Well, I've got to get some new tyres for my race bike (CBR600RR). I'm planning on buying at least one dry set and one wet set.

I was hoping to get everybody's opinions on the different tyres, and info on what the top guys are using. I've currently got some reasonably well worn supercorsas on my bike, but I'm more of a fan of Bridgestone and Dunlops, although, I'll look at anything.

Cheers in advance.

Black round ones should be fine for you

Metzeler Sportecs for the dry. Make sure that they're black and round though.

try some racetech's or get some more supercorsa's.....they seem to be the tyres of choice....and few guys are starting to use dunlops...but they are all finding set up difficult with them....

Thought it was just me cowpoos ! The 209's seem to have a stiffer side wall ? Adjusted it out ok, but they do feel different ! Gaz.

That dude Murray who's always at Puke on his R6 said the new Mich Power Race are pretty damn good...

Bridgestone BT002 are worth a look too...I've seen some good reviews from overseas, and they've managed to keep me on the bike in the hour or so I've ridden it.

How do the Michelins compare to the super corsas Ts? I love pirelli's eh, love the feel of the supercorsas - are michelins actually.... Better?!?!

Found corsas really good for grip....... but that wasnt against the michellins, so may not be a fair comparison.
