Michy's for me  all others seem to help me lose confidence in some way....Racetecs were pretty good just cannot afford them constantly.

My RR came with BT014's ok in the dry , shocking in the wet . Did a few trackdays with them an they weren't too bad , 002's were better but until I try anything else I'm gonna say Michelin Power race's are me fave  :D

If you only ever use your bike on the road you're wasting a good tyre (not to mention a wad of cash)  :D

I had Dunlop Qualifier on my Triple. they were good. but now have Bridgestone 016's on and they are very impressive, I picked Bridgstone as I liked the 014 (on my Fazer) and now 016 on the Triple. they grip much better than the Dunlops and feel muc better mid corner.

Bridgestone BT-002's for the win.

Better than any other tyre I've tried, and even the soft compounds have lasted for ages (trackdays, wet riding, touring etc)

Good times.

well i know wat u mean but sometimes having the best product etc makes sense when ur riding with other bikers i hav lot of my mates trying to show off n say they got something better etc i dont really care tho but i like to carry my self off like that were i dont intend to be loud or flamboyant like some the guys i know. they are all much older aswell so i just try to keep up with them and make sure they dont try to diss me for having something not so good especialy wen they start comparing etc.

Bridgestone 021 for touring, days out and track days...

Good in the wet and the dry in summer and in winter....   ;D

I get 6000 miles from a rear and 12000 from a front. though its more if I ride a long way in the rain  :D

Not wanting to have the pěss taken is not a good reason to pick a tyre :twistedhd Race tyres are designed for very different conditions from road tyres.

Supermotoerers - with less power comes irresponsibility
