[gazza2008au]

i have bridgestone's battlax BT45 tyres on my ZXR250 front is a 110-70-17 rear is 140-70-18 i dont like this tyre on the front at all ive noticed a few times it has started to slide

i must say i prefer the dunlop's, never really had an issue yet but im just bedding in the rear so ill have to see, cant do no shoe scrapping yet lol

If you can get some GPR Alpha-10s to fit I'd highly recommend them as a track/road hooligan tyre.

For the record, DON'T get Pirelli Sport Demons. They're gripless.

Really? Perhaps you got a bad batch or something. I wore my right-hand footpeg down to a stub with Sport Demons and never lost grip, even when the rear was bouncing around off the ground They'd be my pick as a road tyre on a smaller bike, I liked them better than BT45s.

I have a set of Continentals on the ZZR250 and they're *awesome*.

Don't quote me on this (I'll check in the morning, if I think of it) but I think the rear is a 150. Took a few rides to get used to but it really is an awesome change and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Have used a BT39ss and its OK but prefer the Dunlops . If you are doing some track days who cares about tire life ? One small slide will cost a heap more than a new set of tires.

i will be doing track days billy, but i also commute, rain hail or shine... and looking at the alphas i'd say they arent the best wet weather tyre....

the search continues....

i'll try visit a dealer soon and guage some opinions and see whats actually available in Aus...

thanks for the input so far guys

For anyone interested, the tyres are Continental Conti Force in a 110/70/17 front and 150/70/17 rear.

fitting a 150 rear on th zzr is pretty impressive i was under the impression 150 may scrub the swingarm sides.
