They are bloody cheap, but I've read mixed reviews.

As a good, cheap set of tyres, I'd have a serious look at these.

Just because they've been superceeded, doesn't make them a bad tyre. They were standard fitment to some very good bikes a few years back.

Or if you can stretch to another £50, get Michelin Pilot Road 2's. Last forever, with more than enough grip for anyone on the road ( and probably on a track to ! )

I second the pirelli diablo's. Used them on the hornet and had soooo much confidence in them, lasted ages too (then again, the hornet was only putting out 25ft/lb's of torque ) but I rode through all sorts of sh1t with them and they didn't miss a beat. Tempted to get a pair for the storm but unsure of how long they last

How many miles have you done and how has it affected the tread depth?

Mug? Meh, I've been called worse

[magnum]

Got a puncher in the rear no worthwhile fixing

[Virt]

Funny, that's how mine ended too

9,000 miles. Still had enough tread for another 1-2,000 and I got a nail. They might just be unlucky tyres to own

9000 miles

My dunlop qualifier2 rear was sh*gged after 2k

[Virt]

This was on the hornet, putting out a grand total of 25ft/lb's torque with a top speed of 100-ish. Plus I actually entered corners at speed on the hornet

Mostly cause I didn't give a flying wombles about it

[magnum]

Think maybe will for pirellis. Jamie I have seen how you ride mate

[Jamoi]

I might have to try some harder tyres in a couple of months, I've got a Europe trip (1800 miles) a couple of days after the Yorkshire run!

Jamie - Pilot road 2's.............more than enough grip

[magnum]

Did you want that chaps number in Thorington for tyres Jamie.

[Jamoi]

I've been thinking about them since you recommended them to me in Wales.

I think Carl has them on his bike (?) And wasn't impressed with the flat profile.

I'm willing to give them a go though as they are very popular for my kind of riding (mixed bag of sport/touring).


Thanks Magnum, do you think he would do a decent price on some pilot road 3's?

[VTRDark]

Mine are PR3's which are touring tyre. Love the rubber but not the profile. I'm thinking of going for Dunlops next time around. I love Brigestone BT23's which I have used in the past on other bikes, but I'm not sure about wear with them on the Storm.
