Re: new tyres

These guys run a spare wheel with pre worn tyres for burnouts, they are free or very cheap from motorbike garages.

But if you need a good tyre for road race/ MOT then Pillot Powers are favorite amongst gixxer members.

Re: new tyres

i prefer bridgestone 020's on the rear and when i can hold of them something really sticky like a race wet on the front. but atm, i think im runnin a dunlop d208 on the front . its all down to preference really. oh and i always go part worn, can't afford buyin new tyres.

Re: new tyres

Not totally sure, but you can probably fit a 190.

As far as I know it'll make the rear more stable / not turn in quite to quick, so it depends on what you're after from the tyre.

Re: new tyres

Pilot power front and pilot road rear are my favorite

Stick to stock sizes. Otherwise you are changing the designed profile of thhe tire
