These are the three I have narrowed down for my 1100 evo conversion, which is nearly finished. Am I over-egging the pudding with the pirellis, and am I just paying for brand with the michelins?
Just to add confusion, don't ignore Metzler. The M7RR gets a good write up across a number of formats. Got them fitted to my Multistrada although yet to get good miles to make a judgement. Andy
I run supercorsas on my ss, love them, but I prefer the more aggressive profile of the maxxis offering to be honest
I usually find the right side to wear out quickest, the middle is still fine after that many miles tbh. The maxxis used to last about 1200 to a rear, and the fronts... Well my original maxcos front has seen off three ducati rears, then I put it on the Yamaha and it saw off two tyres on that and would still be ok now if it wasn't punctured in a crash
Unless you run at the hot end of fast group and you're going to run mainly on track, I'd be looking for a tyre that heats up quickly and has decent wet grip. I'm running a set of PR3s on my Commuter VFR and they are ace. A mate of mine had them on his blade for a few trackdays last year and he was circulating well in inters without any issues. You're mad going round the ring on a bike btw
