New tyre time
Hi Guys,
Been riding my bike around in the crappy weather, commuting and riding on generally straight roads.
Rear tyre is starting to square, and is alsmost gone anyhow. Front and rear are mixed and match amt (Bt014 rear, Vipersport front)
Best tyres I can buy for under £200? (Can get them fitted myself)
Looking at pirelli diablos? Any good?
Or stick with BT014?
Or any other suggestions?
Riding normally consists of general weekend riding (getting faster ) and will be hoping for a track day or two this year.
Also don't want them to shred in 500 miles.
Cheers

Re: New tyre time
yup diablos are indeed the bollox. So much grip wet or dry!!! Dunno about longevity as of yet as they're relatively new to me! But still damn impressed

Re: New tyre time
Just for the record.
I got the diablos fitted. Scrubbed them in on Sunday.
MUCH better than the bridgestone BT014.
Only have 1cm fanny bands at the moment - Will sort them out when it gets warmer. lol
