    Tyre Poll - What should I get?

    My Brutale came with Supercorser Pro's and one day I might even be able to see what they are like in the dry, however they are wild in the wet and I need to change them for now.

    I use this bike as my daily commute and on weekend rides so I need an all rounder.

    What say you?

    Corsa, or Michelin Pilot Road, or even Metzler M3.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I've heard good things about pilot powers but never used them myself. I use Metzler Sportec (are they M1s?) and they seem to do the business for the commute and weekend. They overheat at the track though.

    Very true...but we dont use Avons..in the wet Continentals are great (typical Germans), in the dry Pirelli's are king...dragon corsa's were my favourite...which are now the Diablos....

    Or you could get some hand cut slicks...they are fun, but a tadge slippery when cold.
    Doesn't play well with others

    My Avon Viper Sport's are fantastic in the wet, better even than the Bridgestone's I had that were more obviously a Sport Touring tyre.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Steer well clear of the fuckin Pirelli Diablos. They made my sphincter palpitate like an epileptics pupil in the wet. The front was just horrible.

    Pilot Powers or BT-014s if you want sportier road tyres, otherwise for commuting I'd get a sports touring tyre to get a little more wear. You don't need the stickier sports tyres cos you ride like a poof.

    My work commute is only 3.5 k's so I'm not worried about wear. I want a sticky tyre that's reasonble in the wet.

    And Dover... a bad workman blames his tools.

    I had the pirelli's on my bike before the Vipers and they were better in the wet than the vipers, infact if I covered them in silicone and vaseline I'm sure they would still be better than the vipers in the wet.

    I would still go Pilot Powers.
