    Standard GN250 Front tyre

    I bit the bullet on Friday and purchased a new front tyre for my GN. On misty mornings with a dew on the road this thing would slip constantly. So went to a shop and purchased a new Avon Roadrunner for the bike. This morning coming to work in the rain it was like riding in the dry!

    If you have a GN throw away that front tyre!

    Totally agree with you, that was one of the first things I did when I had my GN. The standard tyre is just shit (rear aint much better). I put on Pirelli MT65s and they were awesome.
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
