02 zx9

last three rear tyres were 2 x diablo corsa and 1 x metzeler m1

all went no further than 5000km

front is a diablo corsa, almost 9,000km on it now i think, prob another 1500km to go.. might shag it up the oxley highway next month.

fitted a pilot power rear - wider one this time, 190 as opposed to 180, seems to be more stable when cranked over thru corners than the 180 is..

My ZZR600 had BT050's front and rear on it when I bought it (at 9000k's). I figure they were the originals. Now at 13000 k's and there's still probably 2-3000 left in them...

Probably go to the 014/020 combo when these are done.
