Old Boy (great movie) Newbie to site

[monkeymakam]

Hello fellow MT-aniacs, had mine for a year now, love it, the rawness of it's power, the roar of it's Akrapovic from tick over to 137mph, it keeps this old bugga as happy as his two stroke teenage days. Has taken me on some long European trips and many a Sunday blast.

Now needing a service and new set of rubbers. Any advice on tyre choice would be appreciated, stock tyres did 6000 miles, happy with them, but there is probably better out there ?
Cheers chris

PR2, PP3, PR4. Angel GT take you pick. I've had all the Michelin tires and PP3 have the best dry grip with the PR4 best wet and PR3 inbetween. Mileage wise I found not a lot of difference and had no dramas with any of them. Haven't tried the Angel GT but are looking to next time around unless some cheap Z8's come along.

I was thinking the same. I'm approaching 2700, and there's about 1mm left before the tread indicator level (rear).

Cheers, had already been thinking about the Michelins, think I will visit a few shops and see what's selling well.

Was bit crafty with them, squared off a bit at 4000 miles, so jumped on the ferry to Northern Spain, Picos mountains, land of a million bends.
That has evened up the wear quite nicely.

Hi mate and welcome aboard
Go for the Mich PR4s
Just got back from a trackday at Snetterton and a European trip through France, Belgium, Germany and a quick cuppa in Luxembourg.
Flawless at high speed (133 on a sat nav) and through the twisties, blasting hard out of hairpins with no traction control and not so much as a squeak from the tyres.
Never had a moments doubt, simply the best.
Let us know how you get on

I shall definitely go to PR4's after my S20's are spent. After the Diablo Corsa 3's that are going on just before 3 days at Circuit de Catalunya in October
