    Recommended tyres for 1992 GSF250 Bandit?

    Im not sure where to look so thought id come and ask here if anyone can recommend a tyre brand or type for my Bandit. I do not want or need a hardcore sports tyre, i mainly use my bike to commute to uni and back daily, but i also go out for weekend rides etc, so need a semi touring type tyre.
    Got any suggestions?
    Also my current rear tyre is a 150/60-17 Michelin Pilot Power Raidial if that will help at all.

    Pirelli Sport Demons.
    IMO best value for small tyres.
    Last well on a 250 and nice in the wet.

    +1 for Sport Demons. Bridgestone BT45 are also the shizz AND they are dual compound, so you may get better mileage from the commute..
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    +1 for Sport Demons. Reasonably priced, long life, and good grip. I had them on my CBR250 and they never let me down.

    The BT45 are well priced too.
    An IRX RX-01 will last...they're shit though

    My vote is for the BT45. Have had those and the sport demons and preferred the BT's. it was close though.

    Michelin Pilot Activ could be a good option too. Modern alternative to the old bias ply tyres.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'll put my oar in, and suggest shinkos. Anyone who bags them hasn't ridden the current generation sports touring tyres on offer, at very good prices.

    Go for the Pirelli sport demons as other people say, I had bridgestones on my ZXR.
    Sport demons made a huge diffence to handling.

    BT45s are good but there'd be nothing wrong with sticking with the Michelins. The latest vesrion of the Pilot (P3) are excellent in the wet in my experience.
    Grow older but never grow up

    Black. Round. Not burning. Oooo, and to go extra fast, fill them with nitrogen.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
