Guest Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 right i know this has been asked sooooooooooooo many times but each person has a different need i need new rear tyre ... its a metzler mez4 been on bike since middle sept and its down to its limit ( well the edges are still ok but centre /inner edges are low) its done me 8k so im not that bothered ......question is due to my need for a good hardwearing tyre for the distances i do but i still want a tyre that i can feel confident with as i have with the metz .....had conti avenue on the old gpz which were hard weraing as i got 15k out of the rear but the grip was shocking so not going down that route...so in reality i need a dual compound that offers the best of both and at a decent price ... ideas please Quote
cossie916 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I had Pirelli Diablo's on my 916 and they were a great all round tyre. I'll definitely look at them to replace the Dragon Corse's I've got now which really don't do winter! I've heard the Dunlop 2CT (i think thats what its called!) is also a great all rounder. But I've never used it myself.Hope this helps! Quote
yorbandit Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I belive you better off with the same front and rear , as a front will norn do approx 2 rears you should change both to what ever tyre you want when the front needs changing Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 with regards to the same front and rear i agree and the front is still good ....only problem is that metzeler stoppeddoing the mez4 so i either have to source one from ebay etc and gthen go to local tyre and try getting it fitted .Or i get a new set front and rear..and yes i am thinking along the lines of bt021 from what i read in other posts ... just that flaming thing of £80 for one tyre if i can find one or £150+ for two new ones ..... ......... grrrrrrrrrrr Quote
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Go for two new 'uns m8. Call it a christmas treat or whatever. you could always flog the old front as a part worn... Quote
TC Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Michelin Road pilot 2 on mine Tim dual compound. Last a long time and give confidence. Quote
bigsisterbiker Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 cossie - thought corsa's where a bit soft or is that just the diablo's?i'm on bt020's. plenty of grip and confidence and good long life on them Quote
