Re: Tyres... lets have a poll....
As usual, Neka u have not thought it thru - u need to be more specific: ie u ride a Z1000 I ride an ER-6. What works for your bike may not work for mine! 

I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

Re: Tyres... lets have a poll....
I think he is just aiming at a simple " what works best for you " tyre comparison - so what you ride and how you ride it don't really matter, its just to get an idea of what tyres are used by members in general ??
I am really happy with the M3's on the barge, but have yet to try them on the track. Might have a different opinion after that ? Perhaps, perhaps not. For the street, so far, they have been really good.

considering we get at least 1 post abt this per week, if ppl want to have a look here 1st to get an idea, and then ask more specific questions...
im a brigey fan so far, but gunna try metzy's next..might change my mind after that...
dont forget..id prefer not to have the "other"..so post ur preference and ill add it...

Re: Tyres... lets have a poll....
I like Metzelers. Got the M3's on the 10 at he moment but given I don't do a lot of k's and I plan to be doing most of them at the track in future I'm thinking of going Racetech's next

Re: Tyres... lets have a poll....
I am currently trialing my first set of Conti Sport Attcks on the 14 - heat up real quick and IMO better than Pilot Powers, grip confidence is awesome
