Finished off a Michelin Pilot Power & the cost of tyres - Yes tyres again !

[wendigo]

Just interested to know from all the TL riders out there.. what kind of tyres are you putting on.. and whats the 'mileage' factor you are getting out of them? (and your riding style) =)

Bridgestone 020's for winter. Done about 4 -> 4500 ks (including a track day) on them so far & still got a fair bit to go.

Had part worn Corsas before (which came with the bike) , which lasted about 4000 k. They were pretty munted by the time I did change them & where asymetrically worn.

Preferred the Corsas, as the rear had a 55 profile compared to the Bridgestones 50, so turned better.

Riding style - try to be smooth & move the body around as opposed to the bike.

does nobody rate dunlop?

seems you guys only interested in the Pilots or the Diablos with Bridgestone getting a small mention.

i am looking at a Dunlop D208zr which i am told is a nice sticky tyre... for the front. as it will near enough match the rear.

230 fitted. thoughts?

I had Dunlops fitted on my GS1200SS when the bike was new. Never again. They were not too bad in the dry, but gave me absolutely no confidence in the wet. They also didn't last as long as the Pirrellis or Michelins I've used since.

I usually run Pilot Powers but decided to give Metzlers new M3 a go, only changed the front at this stage but a definate improvement, feels like more tyre on the road, more confidence wet and dry BUT.....they track over centre lines and cracks like a bastard.

I love Dunlops.....BUT the 218 rear I had only did 900km.....that means 2.57km to the $..... run a 218 front and a 220 rear, love this combo and I have over 3000km on the rear now.....it is nearly shot though....
