Ok Tyre comparison time

[**R1**]

Right on the 18th of jan (or round abouts then) i am getting me some new tyres. (counting down the days yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa) But now the question is what to get.

They are all about the same price so GPR80's, sprtec M1's,Diablo's etc.. What is your guys experience with these tyres. i.e. i havn't hadproper sports tyres on the zxr400 yet (only owning it 5 odd months and not having the cash) so i don't know what to get.

And they did put the wrong tyres on. I am running a 120//60/17 and a 160/60/17. But apparently even though the manual says it's those i was told to run a 110/60/17 and a 150/60/17. It will make the bike tip in a lot quicker which is what i really really want. Any comments. Cheers

Hey man those 400's rock. I had one for 3 years, i would fully recomend dropping to the 150 or a 155max, as for tyres if michy do a pilot power in your sizes i would get them without a second thought, good milige and awesome grip, they do over heat a bit on the track but are wikd on the road.

Where did you get them for that price????? I got quoted a little over $500 fitted??

Gav: Try riding my zxr.... i know it has a lot to do with the shittyness of the avons profile but it is really sluggish into the corners. Definatley decided on a 150 for the rear but not to sure if i want to do the 110 front yet???

MR: Yes the stock front is a 110. But the manual says the rear should be a 160 so if i am changing the rear i want to change the front to dont i?? Dont want then tippin in at different angles aye

Just PM White Trash for that deal,
I'm Running the Sport Tec M1's on my bike and they are the shizza.
Quick to warm up, great grip in wet and dry conditions.
Decent wear, done around 4,000km and I'll get another 2,000 I hope out of the rear.

Happy Shopping.

with a light weight bike like yours get a real soft compound....like mich pilot power or pilot race...while diabalos a rated very well among most biker's including myself...most bikers ride heavier machines/more powerful machines and diabalos are a much firmer compound than 'mich pilot power or pilot race'

heavier/powerful bikes create more friction with the ground through there weight and power and heat a firmer compound up to there working temp range

softer will give your zxr more grip!
