clashfan83 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Just wondered if any CBR owners can recommend me the best tyres suited to the 600f. I haven't had my bike long and I'm just riding round with what it came with, 1 Michelin and a Pirelli, which obviously isn't ideal, so what to you recommend for the best performance?Thanks in advance.

Hoody Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm a Bridgestone fan, but when I had my CBR6 it had Michelin OE which were fine.Personally not a fan of Dunlops or Conti's, but there isn't really a bad branded tyre out there now - just avoid chinese teflon tyres!

blakeatron Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Ive got Bridgestones on mine bt016 on the rear - not sure on the front.Grip very well in dry and wet, walm up quickly and seem to be wearing quite well - also seem quite cheap! Dragolith has Avons on his and he seems more than happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 What size are the tyres on it?If you can get them in the right size I 100% recommend Maxxis Supermax Sports! Very very sticky, fast to warm up and seem to last far better than Pilot Power 2CT's!You can also get them delivered for not much more than the cost of just 1 rear 2CT!They are a Sports tyre but have the durability of a Sports Touring tyre.They perform ok in the wet, but don't lean the bike too far in standing water due to the tread pattern.I was killing a Pilot Power 2CT rear in 1500 miles, I am 900 miles into this set of Maxxis and they have at least another 1000 miles left in the rear, possibly 1500-2000 left.I also was able to fall off the tyre on the 2CT's which was a bit concerning as that normally ends up in eating tarmac, I still have 5mm ish left on the edges of the Maxxis, which in my opinion is a much safer situation to be in!

rennie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 unless you're some kind of riding god or intend doing track days I'd stick with sport touring tyres from bridgestone or avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I've got a 600 FZS, I commute on it and do some quick road riding (well quick for me!) so wanted something which would be good all year round and get a good few miles out of um. I've gone for the Pilot Road² double compound tyre front and rear, done 2kmiles, still looking good with plenty of meat left. They are expensive compared to other brands and models but I have so much confidence in them as I had a sporty Michelin tyre on previously. Michelin do a touring budget tyre which I believe is very good called the Pilot Road. I'm not a re-seller for Michelin, honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
