I always used pirelli diablo's on my z1000 which iv'e had since new in 2003. Tried conti's once and didnt like em. I tried the corsa (soft compound) on the front but to be honest the the standard compound is fine, I do ride it fairly hard on the road. Was going to try the rosso ones but they are a bit dearer.
i used it one day on a trackday instead of me gsxr as i was instructing on that day and i put the corsa on the front and it was perfect.

you can get some good deals on a pair of pirelli's at the moment.

Its always best to use the same make of tyre on both wheels but iv'e mixed them in the past on other bikes and no probs. You can often get a deal on 2 rears and 1 front. usually a front will last for 2 rear ones.

I've got Bridgestone BT021's on my Z750s. I have done about 3000 miles on them and they have a lot of life left in them. They handle well aswell. I would recomend them.

Hi Gally,
Sportmax what? The current Dunlop range is all prefixed Sportmax in the super/hypersport range...
I'm not being funny, but it does depend on what you're getting for your money. :D
