Tyre advice please people who ride in the wet and have been thru a few...

I haven't missed the pont at all.

I could also spend $2k a corner for Ferrari rubber on a Honda City but it would be a waste. I don't just want good I want good for my bike and type of riding. Why spend more money than I need to? The best tyres in the world worn to the casings cos I can't afford more of the same would be crap compared to an ok tyre replaced at the right time. Money is always a factor in the real world. If it wasn't I'd buy a new MV. I'm sure they come with better rubber than the Hyo will ever see!

Thanks for your input tho and I agree and intend to have it a bit "overshod" for those times when it is needed.

Anyone used the new Shinko/Yokohama's or have feedback on the Yoko' 003's etc? I understand these have ben around for ages and haven't changed, just re-branded?

SHINKO 003S ARE NOT THAT SUITED TO YOUR 250 I USE THEM ON MY BIKE FOR DRAG RACING AND THEY AREN'T A BAD TYRE ON THE ROAD YOU CAN GET PPS IN YOUR SIZE BUT AS DMNTED POINTED OUT $485 IS UP THERE MAYBE HAVE A LOOK AT SHINKO 005 AT AROUND $380 A SET, HAVE PUT A COUPLE OF SET ON AND THERE ARE HAPPY SO FAR AND WOULD BE BETTER THAN 003 IN THE WET,BY THE WAY 2C TYRES PROABLY WONT LAST ANY LONGER THAN STD TYRES BECAUSE THEY ARE SOFTER ON OUTSIDE NOT HARDER IN THE CENTRE

Cool thanks. I'm not that worried about the life of the sides cos I don't get out on fun rides that much. In saying that summer is coming up and my wife is becoming more understanding. I guess I do 20,000K's / year commuting and 2,500K's / year fun.
