    To all bike shops

    Well i need tyres as these ones let go far to much. So i thought i'd let you all duke it out on here .working right up will christmas but am off a little after new years with a lttle bit of cash. Sooo What you got. I have stuuuuuupid sports tourer tyres that if you get any where near the edge they start to let go and if you put the power on in a corner they slide...a lot . I have been looking at M1's, corsa's, gpr70's etc. If i can find a decent set of ex racies i'll for the right price i'll be keen as beans (poor student syndrome with summer job paycheck not come in yet, and it being tuppence anyways). So either post your deals or PM me. Cheers guys n' gals.

    I suspect that you mean tuppence. Sorry I can't help with the rubber.

    Mate! I am surprised that you cant find those sizes anywhere.
    We have "Michelin Pilot Sports", "Pirelli diablo's/ Dragon GTS/ and more.
    Just depends what your willing to spend.

    All the pommy mags have Diablo's winning their shootouts, followed by M1's and BT014's

    SV650's run that size tyre combo so if you can find some SV650 racers, you may be able to find some good cast offs?

    nope what i meant was i can't find ex-racies anywhere. I can find new tyres but i am looking at $500+ for a set. So i just wanna see if i might be able to get anything cheaper. The sooner i get them the sooner i get to see hoe the bike should handel. And the cheaper they are the sooner i can afford to get them. So that's why i'm looking for ex-racies.

    OK all you sv650 racers where are the oldies??

    mate i wouldn't let a standard diablo within 50 feet of my bike. too many traction issues to ever trust them again, swapped to m1's & the problems disappeared.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    I know a written off TRX with some Michelins on it in those sizes. Bugger - probably impossible to get my ands on them, but I can ask. I'll also talk to my "contact"

    Sportecs are probably best value for money, but the importers are out of those sizes. When do you need them?
