Hi. Almost due new tyres on the MT09. Been very happy with the Bridgestones and happy to replace them with the same. Also heard from a very good source that Mitchelin Pilot road 3 are good.
1. Would I feel any difference or benefit from the change ?
2. Life expectancy of your recommendations.
Many thanks!

I liked the S20s on this bike, great grip.

Im just ordered a Pirelli Angel GT though as I need something with a touch more tire life.

Can you feel the difference ?
YES!! My god, loads of confidence in these tyres.
Bear in mind, they are not a track day tyre as a gluestick, but when it'll get busy on the tarmac, its here to save you, specially if it is damp.

They are excellent.
Check Demon Tweeks in Wrexham as well for prices, not many reliable nor fast in Manchester, unfortunately :(

I will be replacing mine shortly, planning on either Bridgestone BT23 or the T30's. Depends on price, as the T30's are the replacements for the BT23's, but both good tyres. The S20's on currently have lasted around 3000 miles, I expect the BT23 or T30 to last at least double that, and being sport touring tyres will warm up quicker, and be better in the wet

I'm a fan of Pirelli Diablo Corsa's. At least I was on the Superduke. I'll try them on the MT and see if I still like them.

Had the Michelin Pilot Power 3 recommended with some dealers offering £25 cashback. Looking for good grip and decent life of the tyre.
