New tires needed, suggestions?

metbandit1 · 1 Mar 2012 at 10:52

For my track bike, sizes are 120/60/17 and 160/60/17.

Any recommendations? Im thinking about going for Michelin pilot powers but wondering if there are any alternatives?

Cheers chaps!

The new Pilot Power Pure's are supposed to be very good. Got Pirelli Diablo Rosso on at the moment and they have been fantastic. Warm up really quick and grip very well.

Do they do them in 160/60/17 guise though? Thats the problem im finding is good tires in that size.

When I had an RS125, Bridgestone BT090's were well spoken of, and are available in your sizes.

Ill look into those then, not usually a great fan of bridgestones, had 2 bikes come with them standard and fallen off both while bridgestones have been fitted lmao.

I guess I should mention the bike its going on is a 1994 honda cbr600 fn.

Those are the same sizes as my racebike iirc, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's

Available in several compounds as well with the SC0, SC1, SC2 or SC3 iirc versions, think I've got the softest on the front and one step harder for the rear (only a 400 though)
