need help from the forum

[chris@flatout]

hello everybody,
the reason i am making this post is to find out what tires everybody likes and uses. if i can get some info back from the forum members i can get some tires deals together to try and save some of you money on tire costs. your info would be a great help.

thanks
chris

I like Roadriders, some here like Pirelli Sport Demons...
Time for another set soon too.

[marvinsc]

Plus 1 on Avons. Pirelli is very popular among the corner carvers here as well!

No mention yet of Chen Shin Hi-Max? I've seen them recommended here more often than anything else for those on a tight budget.

I have Avons on my two... AM26 Roadriders. Got them for my friend too & am about to buy another set for a 550 I'm working on.

Good tyres.

Avon RoadRiders here as well.

I mount my own tires, and just spooned on a fresh set of Avons a couple of weeks ago. This is my third set of these, so obviously I'm very happy with them. I get around 6,200 - 6,400 miles on a rear and 12,000+ on a front. These are the only tires I've been able to go 2 rears to 1 front safely. (YMMV -- I'm harder on tires than most riders, so most people get more miles.)

I paid $163 and change delivered from http://www.americanmototire.com for the following sizes:
100/90-19
130/90-17



Also, in case it matters, I use Avon's excellent new Storm radials on my VX800 (110/80-18 & 150/70-17). The Brits sure do make some mighty fine tires.

Metzelers always. Switched in 1987 to Me33s and rear ME99s, switched a few years ago to an ME88 Marathon rear. Always solid, no ugly little slippy surprises, and the ME88 seems to have a few extra miles in it as well.

Count me in on the Metzeler's. I've got Avon's on mine right now but I'm switching back to ME's when these wear out.

As mentioned previously, for those on a budget, Cheng Shin Hi Max.
