Dunlop Qualifiers - but will be changing as the wear out too fast (rear 1250 miles) on the 12.
Probably go for Pirelli Diablos next change as I have yet to read a bad word said about them

| Metz Sportecs. Been fitting them since I've had the thing and they're more capable than me, can't see the point in chopping and changing myself, found a tyre that suits me and my riding, why change them? |

Agree with Barry and Wivvy in so much as any tyre is probably better at gripping the road than I am in leaning over.
Doing 14k miles a year my main need from a tyre is longevity. Macadams gave me 10k on a rear and the 020's 8K.
As I'm due some new rubber next week I'm thinking of the pilot road 2 or 021's. |

Aye agreed... Was just interested to see which brand was most popular...
In Germany I believe you are stuck with whatever the manufacturer specifies for your bike - any deviation from that and your bike's impounded  !! I have heard talk of something similar being introduced over here, not so much aimed at targeting bikes; but more aimed at the chavvy car lot (sorry "modding" enthusiasts  )

Er, make that square in profile..........and they are Dunlop D207RR's
I have a confusion, I have a Metzeler on the front and a poxy bridgestone on the back of one bike. On bike 2 I have Metzelers all round. On bike 3 I have Pirelli's.
So what do I vote for?
