Re: What Tire?
i use avon roadrunners on my cbx and they're great in the wet, cheap as well.
get about 3k out of the rear.
before that had metzeler on and they were shite tbh, wouldn't lean but last forever.
tony at pitstop in lowton has some decent part worn if you only want summat for now...

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
Re: What Tire?
Can recommend Roadsmarts and Michelin Pilot Roads for the winter, and 021's for the summer but (purely personal opinion) they didn't give me as much feedback in the wet.
Gripped ok, just didn't tell me what they were up to.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Perrelli's are supposed to be a good wet tyre too, just to add another one into the mix.
Only problem is though in the cold and with all the slimey salt on the road, none of them work that well
Just got to take it steady and don't lean over till spring
