    Red face Sorry it's a tyre thread...

    I did do a quick search but I'm online at work and am about to go home and couldn't find any threads recommending tyres for a lil old ZXR250...
    Looking for something that I can ride with some degree of safety in the wet while still performing well out on the road in summer/dry.
    Any advice is appreciated

    I know that a sport demon is reasonable on the rear in the wet, i learnt to ride in the winter with one on the rear...recently replaced it with a stickier compound sport demon...you shouldnt be pushing the limits in the wet anyways...it just becomes a form of transport when it rains.

    I have never pushed it in the wet so am not sure about a decent front tyre for such conditions....but in the dry...i can personally recommend a bt014 from the bridgestone battleaxe series.

    Cheers for the replies. Think I'll try and sort out some of those sport demons.
    Next question is where should I go to buy them? Do the shops vary much in price or they all pretty much the same?

    i think cycle treads usually has the bargain prices (usually) they're up on the shore. Scored mine from East city Motorcycles in East Tamaki
