Very good tyres, at a very decent price.

Had a maxiss fitted to front of my ZXR250. So far its performed well - only winter riding so far.
I'd like to fit one to the rear, but they don't do the size. Looks like I'll have to shell out for a Bridgestone (BT092 I think).
She's my idea of beauty and thats what I ride.

Does anyone know what sort of mileage you get out of the sports and the touring?

I've used Maxxis on mountain bikes before and they were great tyres, not tried them on the motorbike yet.

Mine is a standard 170 rear, the 1200 has a 180 rear. Nobody recommends putting a 180 on an 11 as there just isn't the space and also the rear wheel is narrower than the 12 as well.

[quote="TimboSteveB, i got about 4,000 miles out of a set of M6029 (sports) and i think it fairly safe to say, i make progress :) As a comparison, i got 3,500 out of a set of BT021s on same bike.[/quote]

That's reasonable for a 'sports' tyre. Thing is don't need any yet, do I buy them now and store them or shall I just wait and risk them going up in price?

Whats the best way to store tyres? On there side in the loft seems to ring a bell? Or have I drempt that? Is drempt a word?
