    Time for new tyres any one tried s20 are they any good? Can any one suggest others that return good miles and ride well when pushed?

    A lot of guys on here, myself included are using sportsmarts at the moment. Best tyres I've had yet, can't really say much about the milage, but they get a good write up on that front.

    That was going to be my choice but the s20 came in £30 cheaper so thought i would ask about milage to see if they were worth the extra.

    Very pleased with the S20, came fitted as standard. Just had a new rear after 2500 miles, would recommend.

    Loving the s20 too. Putting up with plenty of stick and at 1400 so far. Get up to temp really quick, and I'll be sticking with these when I change.

    Try a 023 first, unless you ride REALLY hard on track you will NEVER need an S20 on the road - 023's take some serious abuse and still perform, and last way longer

    (my opinion of course!)

    Are sportsmarts worth the £30 extra. All day long. I've had bt014, 15,16, 21 and the sportsmarts are way better

    Done 3000 miles and they got at least another 1 k left, that's including 1800 in a week touring and 3 track days

    All my riding including the touring includes fast road riding ;)
    Best tyres I have ever used that will do everythig u want
