    Ok Ok Ok I'm female I can't help that! If I get another blow out on this ride I'll never live it down! AND if it's on a new tire well that would just say it all for my riding.

    I didnt even bother reading half the shit in here coz most people dint have a fkn clue what the hell they are talking about when it comes to tyres, but this man does and would be the best combo for your bike, if you dont like mis matching get a full set of sports, they look cool enough, will get you great mileage, still good tyres in the wet, and will even do a track day for most riders easy.

    Just me being pedantic but wouldn't 2 cents be $0.02 rather than 0.02c?

    Nuff bout that, was only a joke anyway.

    I'm running Pirelli sport demons on my VTR250 and they are sweet, but like someone else said I think they are just for wee bikes....but they are good on a sunny day (especially on the coromandel loop) and I haven't been riding long enough to thrash in the wet....when it rains I go into Nana mode so I've never had a problem....except one time when an ignorant driver cut me off on a free left turn at a set of lights (I was going straight through, he had the free left turn directly in front of me) and I hit both front and back brakes and had the arse hanging out as I went passed him cursing and swearing, sliding into the other lane.....Fotunately for me there was noone else in it!

    I've got Dunlop D207's on my '97 ZX6R. Good grip in all weather for commuting and blasting. They've been on the bike for some time now and are still good - not sure if you can get them now or if they've been replaced by the 208's.

    The people who vote for Pilot Powers only do so because they haven't tried the M3's yet

    So long as you keep them at the correct pressures, they're all good. The shitty cheng slimes I had when I was first starting out... they were actually kinda fun to ride though

    M3s a miracle!!

    Thanks to everyone who had a input on this! I was going to go for the pilot powers but they were out of stock for my bike

    So I ended up getting the M3's and all I can say is that they are really sticky, look sexy and have transformed the feel of my bike.

    I am now confident in laying the bike down properly to a point where Im comfortable with it (almost maxing out the tread on the rear). Also it's made the handling feel alot lighter just in general handling.

    As for wheelstands, yes have been practising a bit and the tires are just so nice.

    Ooooer they do it for me hehehe.

    good to hear, I was laying her down yesterday and getting it to do it for me too

    So her rubbers are nicely scrubbed in?
