What tyre

I think i need a new back tyre planning to get one the morrow any suggestions on what to get assuming you think it is needed?

Michelin Pilot Road are a good tyre and cheap enough as a pair ... There is much talk about the Maxxis as a sport touring choice too.

Can't see from the photo the depth of tread you have there, but it does look to be a bit squared off that tyre does.

It is very much personal choice as tyre types vary and suit different riding styles and pockets.

I'm also a Michelin Pilot Road user. My current rear is the Pilot Road single compound, but I have been a big fan of Pilot Road 2, the 2CT Dual Compound version. The 2's are a bit more expensive but for me I was happier with them, better grip and I think lasted longer ( I get 9-10k miles from the rears).

The Pilot Road 3 was released earlier this year, but Michelin have only just got around to making the 160/60 we need. I have one on back order, so can't say what it's like yet. However I have a 3 on the front and within hours of fitment I went through a few thundershowers - absolutely amazing wet weather grip. The other claim by Michelin is it is supposed to give better mileage life than the 2, time will tell. It is quite a radical looking tread pattern and in some ways looks very wrong, but seems to work!

I've got Pirelli Diablo Stradas on mine but then with our roads round here they don't get chance to get squared off.

im running on avon,s storms good grip in both wet & dry & not a bad price to

I have always used dunlops on the cat & been happy enough with them.

A couple weeks ago had a new front fitted d209 qualifier & it feels fantastic so far, just over 200 miles covered.

Well I have Michelin Macadam 100X on at the moment only need a back one can i put any tyre on the back or do i need to get the equivelant

Ideally at least fit the same make even if not the exact model of tyre.

yes best to use the same make of tyre

well went for the Piolt II tyre

I liked the pilot road 2 when I had them. Saw steve's pilot road 3 front tyre earlier and it does look a bit weird but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I'll be needing a new front soon (wearing on the edges more than the middle ) will probably be sticking with the Avon storm 2 ( I think )
