hi all
soon will be looking to change to sport touring tyres,europe trip 4000 miles in 6 days .
would like something to use for the trip and get some commuting when i come back .
in the past done switzerland france and italy in a week and done a tyre in a week on a ducati .
that tyre was a conti road attack .
any recommendations please .

Michelin Pilot 3's. No contest. Done 4000 miles so far including 5 relatively fast ( slow inters ) track days. Amazing wet grip and not squared off at all yet.

hi cerec1
they have good write ups , knee done in the wet i believe , take a brave person to check this on the roads .
how much tread left after 4000 . how much tread to they come with ??
THANKS FOR THE POST. R

Dunlop Roadsmart 2 IMO
I've done almost 50,000 miles on the Roadsmart and the Roadsmart 2
If you are on a budget, they are still making the original Roadsmart.
The Roadsmart 2 is reckoned by them that knows as being marginally better than the Michelin and both are waaaay ahead of the Bridgestone offering for all weather use (the Bridgestone is supposed to be very good in the dry I understand)
For a 'budget' tyre the Roadsmart is very good - knee down on my GTR1400 and scrubbing the front to the very edge and lasting 8,000miles+ the pair.

and long throws. There are novices I know who've been using them regularly at trackdays - then commute on them the rest of the time. That's how versatile and capable they are. I haven't tried them, but I imagine RoadSmart2s are similar in performance.

hi all

ha, knees hurt hips hurt,neck hurts wrists hurt,everything hurts. first day is fine . by the 3 day ,yep hurting all over.knees are the worst to ache.

Fitted BT023 yesterday, felt odd to start with due to scrubbing in process but now feels great. Went for a hoon last night few roundabouts and hard lefts and stuck like glue. Day one good!
