ARHHHHH - Dont know what tyres to get

I have got to get a new set of tyres for my 1998 ZX9R C1.

I want a tyre that will stick as the Dunlops i have got now give me no confidence and also want a tyre that will do a few miles as going on the spain/france tour next year.

Any suggestions would be great as there are so many out there and im not sure what is best to go with

Thanks for any help

I agree with TNT, Bridgstones are a good bet, stick well and have a fairly long life...although I only got 2000 miles from my new 021 I put on the back. Front 020 lasting longer 4000 miles. Avon storms do last long and have a fantastic grip, wet or dry, I used them last year and did 90,000 miles or so on them, they seem to have more rubber to start with. Ok..i was replacing them every 5 weeks, but with the kind of milage i was doing....3-5000 a month. Not bad really and I was replacing them before i needed to because I didnt want to get stuck...as it was my job.....yes...a long distance urgent bike courier. I have done 300, 000 miles in the last 3 years and the Avons where my best overall tyre. :multi

I was reluctant to fit any other tyre than a bridgestone, coz its stick with what you know!
But when my local garage suggested the Avon storm i took his advice and i'm glad i did. The Avons seem to give me the confidence in the wet the Bridgestones didn't...which means this typical British summer doesn't have to ruin my riding!!
