Back Tyre

I've always loved QII's...but thought I'd give Sportsmarts a go...imho..they have a nicer feel, cos' the bike tends to turn in easier...but that's probably just my imagination..



Anyhoooo's... I've always thought tyre opinions are a bit like arseholes....everyones got one...

I've heard these tyres are the dogs bollox as well and when mine goes in the next few hundred miles its what I'm putting on front and rear.
 
Recently changed to BT 23's - absolutely love em. Dont do track days, but great for road use.

jus my 2p...
 
I've just aboot worn oot me BT-003s... ******* brill at the track and in the mountains on a hot day, not so good for fall weather. Going to change up for some Dunlop Sportsmarts. Had 'em before and going back to them. Much better tire life than the race tires... Quel surprise!
 
I have m5 fitted and had 500 miles on them no wear on them yet but ain't half good
think sportsmart , bt 23 and m5 are all the nuts !!
 
the metz rennsports on my T are pish - back steps out all the time when Ive got the anti handling device on the back - even she notices it - quickly followed by a dig in the ribs ! :)
 
Started the year with 2CTs, and thought they were quite good, as my introduction to Tuono handling ... then switched over to QualiII's, and they were fantastic, but shot at 2800 miles ... replaced them with Diablo Rosso Corsas, and they are the stickiest things I've ever had, just incredible, only done 2000 on them so far, but they look like they have plenty of life in them yet ... slightly more "squirrely" on the white lines in the wet than the Qualis, but not enough to worry you ...
 
I test rode a tuono factory for the missus a month ago with brand new bt-03's and i must say they were fantastic

In ten miles with the wife on the back and the dealers bike i only left 5 mm of chicken strip either side

The bike was just so planted even when i had to hit the gas when i pulled out in front of a car on a roundabout [did not see him lol]

I would recommend them and also Qualifier 2's which are on our Benelli, great grip at all lean angles and around 3500 miles as opposed to 207's giving 2500 miles

mate...is that the place behind long causeway ? i been to one there for a puncture , down some back streets hard to find ?
thats the only one i know in farnworth ....
i only need the rear really , but is it better to change both at same time ?
 
thats the place, name escapes me, but guys there know their tyres.

if youve been happy with the back you have, why change brands?
i normally do 2 rears to 1 front anyway.

this must be the longest thread in the feckin world, all about you changin one tyre.
