Really good tyres in dry and wet and cheap compared to some sets.

10,000+   
Someone isn't trying or they were well shot.


By way of an update (if anyone is still asking); my stead is currently wearing a pair of Maxxis MA-3DS - not that I expect them to last much longer than the Z8s.  So far, pretty good.

10,000 miles?   

Must be so squared off, were you at the point of not needing your sidestand? Bike just stood up on its own?    
Brilliant.

I’m considering the Avon Trailrider tyres. Aggressive, look good on the bike, excellent handling in dry and wet conditions, minor off-road capability, but quite pricey.



 


My rear Pilot Road 2 tyre is under restriction due to a screw and a temporary puncture repair with one of these:






 


Hopefully one day a tyre will come along that will deal with diesel spills, screws and nails.

Just a heads up about eBay offering 15% off from selected sellers until 8th October. There’s quite a few biker shops participating with loads of gear as well as tyres. At the moment there’s Metzeler Roadtec 01, Pilot Road 2’s and 5’s, Bridgestone BT-023, Pirelli Angel GT II and a few others for tyre sizes 160/60/17 and 120/70/17.

I have had Dunlop Roadsmart 3s on my Mk2 for more than 2 years now and 40,000km. On my second set, but they have long life with great grip. Have toured all over Ireland with them & commute daily 👍😃

I like the tyres but they take 3+ miles before they warm up properly, the bike can be a bit slippery for the first few miles in cold, wet weather.   

Strange looking CBF

Haven't noticed the 3km thing. Not inclined to get my knees down much 😊.

Yeah I think that bike is a Kawasaki Versys, sort of the same as a Biffer. I posted it to show the tyres and thread in action.
