Tyre questions

[dogsnbikes]

That would be nice only forking out tyre money twice a year, but with the riding I have done and what ive got comming looks like I should put 20,000km in its first year.

does answer the question that every riders needs are different.........

and comes down to what you are happy with on your bike

has anyone had experience with dunlop k510 series tyres??? what are the suitable for how do they perform in the wet, do they take long to heat up etc....????

side note...matching brands and matching type is the ideal...mixing even between the same brand or generation is not really ideal if your even care a little bit about performance of your tyres... there will be shit loads of people that will argue with me...

No argument from me, that's exactly right. And as you say the sport touring tyres are usually better suited to winter riding than sport tyres.

The conti attacks should do you just fine. It's nice to have a matched set, but not a huge problem if they are not in my book.

I have used a dizzying array of tyre combos on my 750 (for some reason my tyre life seems to be measured in just a ride or two)

The only bad combo I found was a hand grooved pirelli slick matched to a 190 dunlop sportmax I got while dumpster diving at the local bike shop. The bike hunted around a bit and would not hold lines that well.

My current tyres are a hand grooved 120 dunlop slick on the front and a hand grooved Dunlop 195 slick on the back (can fit it now my chain has stretched a little, the 195 rubbed on the swing arm when expanding when it got hot b4 that!) , surprisingly it has good turn in and unlimited side grip!
