I'm not sure if this tyre is great or not. sometimes it totally crashes my self confidence on curvy roads but sometimes it feels glued to the road.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Yamaha Tracer 700 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I've driven approximately around 3000 km's now on these tires with my Tracer 700. I must say I'm very satisfied with these Pirelli's. Grip in the dry is as you would expect from a premium tyre. The tyre gives confidence in the corners, without feeling too soft. Also, the rear of the bike never stepped out so far. Grip in the wet is very good with these tyres. On a weekend inthe Eifel in Germany it was pouring rain (we where there already, so we went riding to make the most of our trip). On the twisty roads the tyres boosted my confidence in the bike. Handling was good and braking performance was exceptionnel. I've had no ABS interference with these tyres (as long as you brake in normal circumstances, thus not stomping the brake, but braking progressively).
My only concern is the wear. Thread on the tyres is still in very good shape. But since I often commute on the bike (highway) the rear tyre is beginning to square off a bit. With the Dunlop Roadsmart 3's I had on before, I feel it took longer before they started to feel squarly. As compared to the Dunlops the dry grip of the Pirelli's is better. Dunlops stepped out on me on some occasions, Pirelli's did never so far. Wet grip on the Pirelli's is about the same, but braking on the Pirelli's feels a bit more confident.
