Michelin pilots seem to be the popular choice, for the Thunderace.
not particularly cheap, but i really dont think, you should skimp on tyres, for a high performance machine.

Thanks Chris. 👍 Only the best for my baby. 😁😁👍
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.

Tyres

Post by Tazzkiller »

for spirited riding the Bridgestones are very good but don't last very long, 1200 miles for the rear on the exup, for all round riding I find the michelin pilot roads are great and give great mileage, but you have to be sympathetic

1200 miles for a rear tyre is shocking.
