Time for some new rubber

[GazW]

I need to get a new set of tyres on the GPZ, they are 130/70/17 and a 110/70/17. Doesn't seem to be a massive amount of choice, either BT45's but I have read about uneven wear being an issue, Avon roadriders, continetal contitwists, or Michelin pilot activ's. They are all roughly the same price, with the michelins being slighty more expensive at just the right side of £200. Just wondered if anyone has ridden any of the above on a commuter style bike and had any input.

I ride every day, in all weathers and wouldn't mind decent mileage, well performing in the wet and hopefully confidence inspiring enough to ride twistys when the weather takes a turn for the better.. In an ideal world lol. I find myself shying away from the bridgestones, I don't know if it's in my head but I feel like you can feel the grip change when you come off the soft outside of the tyre onto the hard middle and have had a couple of snakey moments on the current BT45 that's on when I have ridden hard.

might be worth having a look at maxxis tyres they have good grip and wear rate ive got them on my blade and am happy with them

maxxis were horrible on the Fazer.

I swear by Michelin Pilot road 2's or 3's which have now taken over.

Great in the wet and last for ages. Gives me loads of confidence (once warmed up )

Heard nothing but good from pilot 2s i rate storm 2s if you can get them

Not a very interesting read but the jist is that they only make crossply's in my sizes, not radials. Says some people put 160/60's on but I don't wanna Pisa about with sizes

I had roadriders on my gpz and thought they were great.

I found BT45s worked well - no drama which is what it's all about. That said, feel its costing too much for them, so am interested in other ideas at this size.

Avons for me, predictable grip with good milage.
