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

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 :lol: 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.

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 8)

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.
