Hello Chaps,
Time for a tyre change on my Z1R, which has had Pirelli's on for some years now. What do YOU recommend

?
Cheers
Mick

Always used Metzelers myself good balance between performance and longevity although it has to be said Im not particularly adventurous in my riding style

You will be amazed at the performance of BT45`s.
I`d say most on here use them !

Although I have in the past used some dreadful tyres.... I seem to remember Dunlop K181's were particularly bad...........
My report would be similar to KeithZ1R....my main criterion is how the bike feels. I find Metzeler so good I have not felt inclined to experiment further.

Thank you very much Gentlemen. Your feedback is most appreciated. Has anyone managed to squeeze a 110/90-18 on the front instead of the recommended 100/90-18
