Tyre Advice Please

Post by yzf750Jim »

Hi guys New around here and new to biking, looking for a few tips...

I ride an 1993 YZF 750 and was wondering if any one can recommend tyres..

I intends to do some touring and can't see myself doing any track days...

    I've heard a lot of good things about the Dunlop roadsmarts. Last long and good grip etc.

    I had a pair of Michelin pilot power 2CT fitted last year and they certainly do their job. There's plenty of tread left for this years biking season too. If I don't give it to much throttle that is. :ninja:
    Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

    I'm with nuggitt. Can't fault them. Been to Assen and back on them and still going strong.

    Bridgestone 023's good grippy tyres that last for miles, very similar to Roadsmarts.
