Re: new tyres :)
I also vote for the Michelin pilot road 2CT products. Had the road 2's fitted last yr and the sport this year. Can't fault them wet or dry, and give the amount of rain we have this summer, I think a good wet tyre is the best decision we can make
Will be PR3's next time

Re: new tyres :)
My last set were Avons and I had no problems with them. I only went over to Dunlop Qualifiers on advice from my tyre guy. Very happy with them as well.

Re: new tyres :)
Dunlop Qualifier II's for me, 20quid dearer than normal Qualifiers but they are dual-compound. Don't seem to be squaring off with motorway miles but nice and sticky on edges after some twisty bits
No I can't spell.

Re: new tyres :)
Apologies. I will buy what people here recommend. Obviously better informed than independent testers - and that's without even trying the tyre. You guys are awesome

Done 700 miles in the last 2 weeks, most of it in the wet. My commute includes motorway and lanes with gravel and mud after a decent downpour.lloydiecbr wrote:I'll be getting pr'3 on the next tyre change .

Personally I find the Pirelli Angel ST's brilliant, they just don't last too well.

I've got racetecs on at the mo they are great in the dry conditions but I want a tyre that grips like that in the dry and good in the eet and will last .
My bike is a toy only .
I don't use it as transport anymore .
Do I need a tyre to suit .
Would the PR'3 be the tyre I need ?
Or what do people recommend ?
