Hi I have lost touch with what tires are the best for my requirements, i have a 999 don't do track days, don't thrash with knee down just fine weather and the annual two week trip with the lads.
I need suggestions for which tire to go for.
cheers

Depends on what sort of mileage you are after. Have Metzeler sport touring on mine. Good wear rate and more than enough grip on the road.

What are you currently running? Do you like the feel they give when entering as turn? What mileage did you get from them? Gives me an idea of what you want back from the tyre and the bike And what you priority is, turn, grip wet and dry, mileage.........
