Haven't seen anyone ask about tyres for a late model katana 600 as of yet so thought i might as im in need of new ones.

Now my typical riding in a week is -

A 140km commute once and a weekend backroad ride up and back through the para para's at a reasonably fast rate of knots,and whatever other ride comes up,basically 70% of my riding is backroads

Currently have pilot sport front and pilot road rear ( single compound rear and dual compound front. )

So i would like some opinions towards me getting metzeler M3's on my kat 600 ? or if you have a better choice then im all ears. :done:

BTW: Stock kat sizes are: 150/70/17 Rear -120/70/17 Front (apparently its not uncommon for people to fit 160/60 's on these but im not to sure i want to risk it)



Cheers guys and gals

Round and black are good,specially with air in em.

Try the sport demon for cheaper option.That's my choice but I have a limited range to choose from,bloody 16 and 17" wheels.
