195/50 R17 Tyres

Was looking for tyres that would last longer then 1500-2000 miles i was getting out of the Diabblos, Went with the dealers recommendation of Michelin Pilot Road 2 instead of the latest Pilot Road 4 as he said they would suit my 2008 Fireblade better, Just had the 1st proper run out yesterday to scrub them in and they do not disappoint, mixed weather yesterday so some dry some damp road, tyres feel really good took about 100miles just for them to start scrubbing in, and with a predicted 7- 8000miles to a rear tyre they certainly seem like a good choice

Haven't had them in the wet so I am guessing, the same with wear. I have however done a few miles and loved them. I was going to buy the Dunlop sportsmart thinking that the Pirelli's would be to hardcore but they're not they warmed up quickly and the duel compound gives confidence in the corner. They are quick to turn in and feel plush from the off. The drop into corners was quicker and more progressive than my last tyres. These are very sticky tyres and I love the levels of grip they are giving. Don't know what they will be like in the bad weather but I don't intend to find out. I would definitely recommend these tyres Bike magazine was right in giving them four stars (there is no 5 star). They also look good on the bike. I would buy these again and I am happy I didn't get the Sportsmarts.
