hi, it's tyre time for my er6, since this is the first time I've had to replace tyres, I'm looking for some help. I used my bike all year round for commuting and a few tours. Do I stick with Bridgestone or do I get Continental Road Attack or Pirelli Strada? Help! |

The company we use to supply tyres (My Oh runs a bike garage and MOT centre with his dad) does varying deals on pairs of tyres, this month, we put a pair of tyres on a motoguzzi, a pair of continental motions were £99. We've had no complaints about the Continentals, but couldn't give much feed back on the Pirelli's as not had much to do with those yet. If your doing a lot of straight line stuff, your best bet may be to stick with the BT021 which are good all rounder tyres. HTH :) |
