I think that'll definitely be a combination I try at some stage.

So after all that my front tyre is the first to be needing repalcement so I will replace it after the Forgotten highway on Saturday
Going to put Storms on at this stage but am a little concerned about the wobble that some are getting from them at low speeds
what would people recommend i run on the 919 ? PR2's or strada's ? ive got Pilot Sport on the rear and Strada on the front at the moment, which seems to be a really good combo in terms of mileage and stability,turn-in etc .But im not sure if i want to run a strada on the rear as the past 2 times ive found they puncture really,really easy what are peoples views on avon's and metz?
Got my new tyres today, ended up buying a set of Avon Storms
Brought them from Bay City Motor cycles. Ordered them on Tuesday they turned up this morning They saved me quite a bit of money Thanks DMTD for recomending BCM and thanks Hitcher for the help in the decision making
Gonna put at least the front one on monday maybe both ill see what the rear looks like after the week end
Cant praise BCM enough for thier prompt service and dam good tyre pricing Ill be buying off them again, worth a call if your in the market for rubber
Ill keep you posted on how they handle and wear
I'm just so stoked that the tyres named after me are held in such high esteem

I have a 919 and a CBR1100XX atm, they used to be both on Strada's. And I have given the PR2 a try on both of them. But I think next time it will be Strada's again, as they give a nicer ride and also more sporty handling. Because the Strada's are more rounded, where as the PR2's are fat in the middle and steepen quickly in the sides.
I haven't had a puncture on the Stradas or the PR2's for that matter. Perhaps is where you ride your bike? or the local tradesmen has a hole in his nail box?

I have a Bridgestone Battlax BT45 (dual compound) on the rear and a Metzeler Lasertec on the front, it handles incredibly well for a hippo.
The tyres have done just over 7,000 km and the Bridgestone has about 2,5mm left while the Metzeler is completely shagged. Iv never had a scary moment on them but this time Im going to try Bridgestone on the front and rear.
