    TYRES



    HI EVERYONE...

    I JUST NEEDED AN ADVICE. ITALY HERE.

    My motorcycle gets BRIDGESTONE battlax bt 57 but Im about to

    change them after 11-12000 km (7500 miles).

    Ive found any good tyres from METZELER and PIRELLI.

    I was looking for better tyres than my bt57 , for sport drive, but

    that haven't been changed only after 2000 miles.

    Do you know any model of that tyres or you think it could be

    better for me purchase another battlax bt 57 ???

    thanks to all....

    Bye

    I put bridgestone 020 on recently. meant to be a good 'allrounder'. theres the 010 which is the sportier tyre.

    I'm planning on putting the Bridgestone 010 up front, and the 020 in back. Reason being they should wear at same rate, and give me better sportier traction up front. Serpentine had recomended that to me, and after I checked it all out, sounds like a good idea. They are reassonably priced too, and should offer good mileage.

    I had Metzeler's Mez-4's. Found they were nice sporty tires, but wore rather fast. The M1's are even better, but wear much faster than that.

    From what people have been saying, the 010's and 020's seem to be the best bet, performance, price, wear all concidered.

    Welcome iorildo, hope this helps.

    I swear by my Michelins. This is my second set.

    Pilot Sport front and a 170/60 Pilot Road rear and you can 2 up peg scrape with confidence. And these things are the bomb in the wet.

    You should get about 15000km from a pair.
