Lookin for fresh tires for the blade. Need.... The odd commute here n there A spirited ride whenever its dry A 2.5/3K mile trip round Europe this summer.. Any suggestions? Cheers!!!
Ive always had sport tourers on previous bikes but the corsas on this one felt good today.. but i want a tyre that will see 5k miles. is there a sport that is capable?
If you're going for Michelins then get the Power Pures 2CT's. The other tyre that gets highly rated is the Dunlop Sport Smarts.
I have diablo rosso corsas and i cant complain about the grip they give, but i will be lucky to get over 2.5k out of the rear. As said the dunlop sportsmarts get great reviews and tyre life is much better. they are expensive for a reason
I get great riding from perrelli Diablo corsa 3's, best tyre I have had for handling etc but they don't last as long as some. So depends on your intended use I suppose
Gonna go for sportsmarts I reckon theres a few lads I ride with on 6 sports who use em and swear by them even in the wet! aslong as I can get weekend rides, a euro trip and a raz round spa and the ring this year im a happy lad! maybe a tad optimistic tho?
Nobody is recommending Pirelli Angels... They have been getting good reviews in some other bike forums around the world... And they come in 190/55 for the rear. Personally I am tempted to try those out next.
