Tyres (sigh) Hornet 919 - M3s?

He sighs and continues his quest.............

I did run contis (road rear, sport front) on my previous bike a GS1200ss - they were great but the only thing that has stopped me doing this on the Hornet so far is I found the tyre profile quickens the handling - this was excellent and well received on the GS, but I don't think its necessary on the Hornet.

Mind you anything feels quicker when you replace a worn or part worn front.

you can't go wrong with just about any of the above mention tyres,
excepting the 020's.

Just buy what tickels ya fancy and can get for a good price.

Thats why i'm getting the contis, good price and look good.
i'll find out about the handling, wear rate etc when i've got em.

two questions on the M3's - what's the profile like - round or more that sharper triangle style that drops you into a corner quite fast? (don't like that..!) And who does the deals on these in Auckland?

I have the the Bridgestone 021 on the z750, and find them okay in the wet, although to be honest I'm largely commuting with only brief moments of freedom in the weekends..

And who does Avons at good prices in Auckland?

M3s are a sport tyre.
they last a bit better then pilot powers, and have near enough the same profile.

get some Pilot Road 2cts, they are slightly softer and more pointed than the Bridgestone 021s.
