Kawasaki kawasaki z800 Tyres

I need to replace stock tyre which is Dunlop Sportmax, dont remember what model. using my bike to travel about 500 miles in every 2 weeks. so, I need sport touring tyre that can have a good mileage. my friend suggest this tyre and i give a try.

first impression, this tyre have a good grip in hot day, but during rain it slip especially at road marking. didnt push too much on corner since i know its sport touring tyre. but i did get about 20000KM (12500 miles) by average ride at speed of 140-160km/h (86-100mph).

now i'm using same tyre with different size. 190/50, this tyre even more stable during cornering. and this time i install bazzaz to increase performances and now my average riding speed about 160-180km/h (100-110mph). now already at 20000km (12500 miles), but still have about 40% thread at center.

front tyre i use T30 120/70, i lose count of the mileage, but its about 18000 miles or 30000km.

definitely will buy as my next tyre.

Update on last review
prob would have done 10/10,5k km.
superb tyre in this hot climate . Could not find a fault with them. Would have beeb nice to see final mileage but next tour on the bike was more than left on the tyre. Now fitted wf1 and riden 3000km just as hard and again no issues and looking great. Im a nankang convert.

I have been using shinko 016 dual compound on my z800 touring thailand. Couldnt get them at the time so fitted the wf2 as I hate paying big money for sport tyre names. These tyres surpassed all expectations. Smooth, immense grip at high speed corners hanging off the bike, no chicken strips visible, sweeping 170km bends and very tight mountain turns did not phase this rubber. Love these tyres at super prices..you wont regret buying im confident in that statement. We had no rain. Im over 2000km and still look fresh. Jack from uk will update when worn out. kawasaki z800.
