    If you're thinking of banging miles on with some euro touring I'd get the pr4's or sportsmart2's, had several sets of both & excellent tyres all round. Had the M7's on the bm, great tyres too but you won't get same mileage out of them as the former!

    The gap isn't as big as it used to be between sports tyres and sports touring tyres ...

    I see 4500 miles rear, 6500 miles front from M7RR's over three sets ... As a comparison I was seeing 6000 miles rear, 8000 miles from front on PR3's ... But importantly the last thousands miles on the PR3's felt awful ... They also picked up punctures more easily ...

    Cheers thinki I'm edging towards the M7s. I won't be doing loads of miles (2000 a year) and cost is not an issue. Bike is for fun so value grip over tyre life.

    Right chaps I hope you don't mind me getting feedback on tyres for the H2.

    It has as standard 200 rear profile and with the power and how I ride which is pretty much weekend fun and try to be in the dry all the time.

    My Bridgestone R10's should last me another 500 miles and I want to change but unsure what to. I don't keep to 1 make as I like to try different tyres and looking for something to give me the confidence in the dry. Am thinking of Supercorsa's but do you have any other suggestions.I've not had pirelli before and why i was thinking of these.

    Also Dunlops as I liked my sportmax and D211 so thinking maybe 212Gp's

    Suggestions
