You obviously have fallen into the trap of throwing your money away at, to quote a local m/c salesman, "perceived" better tyre brands. While those of us without blinders can actually see through this perception. Keep it up the bike shops luv ya.

HELL NO I BUY THE OE TYRES THAT PEOPLE TAKE OFF CAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE NO GOOD, PRIOR TO THE LAST SET OF TYRES I BOUGHT NEW I USED TYRES OUT OF THE RUBBISH AT TREADS AND USED UP THE UNUSED EDGES. AND THE SET I JUST BOUGHT RECENTLY WERE FROM A GSXR 1000 OE TYPE AND THEY WERE VERY CHEAP THEY WERE NEW AND SOME DEALER TOLD THEM THE TYRES WERE RUBBISH I LOVE OE BRIDGESTONES

F*ken Tyres are always debaitable. Bloody Tyre companyies have got me by the balls. "Roxanne" will chew out a back tyre every 6000-10Km. They know I'll only buy tyres that will stick on the corners, but that better than having long lasting tyres that leave you lying on the road. Previous set of P. Diab's cost me $520. Less than 4 months later from the same place $650 F*cken rip-off. I could have a full set of 4 tyres on the ute for way less than that.

My goodness. I've been buying the same type tyre for my bikes for the last 14 years and they've gone up a whole $20-$30. Peace.

Sort of confirms I've made the right decision in selection of bike to suit my riding style and pocket. Around $300 for a set fitted every 10-12,000ks PS-if anyone has any SOHC CB550, DOHC CB750F or GSX750E bits, or complete bikes, floating around in the garden shed unloved I can find a good home for them

YOU DID MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION , THE RIGHT BIKE IS THE ONE YOU LIKE AND FITS YOUR BUDGET AND LIFESTYLE

[Teflon]

I've got a Avon Azaro on the rear, first impressions were not good. But now i find this tyre so much fun and predictable, because you know every corner you exit it's going have a nice controled slide.

Best of all, you don't have to ride hard to get that same "out of control" feeling, great stuff.

Fuck i better change it, about due for a highside.

[muzz]

michelin pilot power have been the best for me so far nice round profile rolls into corners and holds on even in the wet they heat up fast very happy with them

[inlinefour]

OK you lot. Here's how it goes.

The rear tyre on the FXR is fully shagged after 12000kms. Motomail say that all they can do for my rim size is dodgy Taiwanese crap or high-perf stickies (012s and wotnot).

Now, given that I've had a niggling feeling at the back of my head for a while that proper tyres on the scoot would likely contribute to my health and longevity, which of the supersport tyres do we like best? And therefore what should I spend my meager cash on next week when buying a new set? (Yes, of course I'm doing the front at the same time.)

Never thought of this too much. Had the yokohama, perelli, avon etc etc etc.
The only truely safe tyre that I've found that can be thrown about and can grip well in dangerous conditions is the Bridgestone. Not only do they have a good preformance history for me, but they also last extremely well, not like the yokoshittahama that I had one very fast month on
Did not actually know up untill not too long ago that Honda sell all their bikes with Bridgestones, would explain why I've had so many ahe.

Mate i had an fxr once, went to cycle treads once to replace the rubbers, got the stickest set they could do for me. they weren't anything i had heard of before. The thing you got to remember is that the FXR can't really out do a good name brand tire. come on, really, it aint all that!

[T.W.R]

dunno if their still made but michelin M48 used to be the go for slim-rim bikes ( great grip & plenty of life in them) and beg to differ on the pirelli prices ( fitted a pirelli diablo 170/50 and it cost me $320) pirelli dragon corsa costs $408 and is as sticky as shit! but only got 3000k from the sod ( check the pic, it was on my ZXR750)
