New tyres 765RS

Post by duke63 »

So what shall I go for when I get home? Addisons had a good deal on M7RRs.

Also tempted by the Bridgestone S22. Never been a big fan on their tyres but they get some cracking reviews.

Btw, nothing wrong with the Supercorsa it came with. On a warm dry day they are brilliant but we don’t seem to get that many of those.

I would go for the Conti Sport Attack 3, purely because I have the Road attack 3 on the big GT and they are fantastic, also deal with the torque of that engine without compliant even on damp roads.

If you like the Supercorsa, try the Rosso Corsa II. More tread and 100% silica where you need it and SC endurance compound carbon black on the sides with very little tread for when you don't need it. The profile is very nice too.

You know I'm a fan of the m7's, and would always recommend them.

But, I'm also a fan of the Avon's at the moment. On par with the m7's for your average road riding, outstanding in the wet, and good longevity to boot. They are also quite capable of soaking up some torque as frankies R and my XR will attest to.

I'm honestly a great lover of Dunlop Sportsmarts.. They lasted me over 5000 miles on the rear (about 6000 on the front) and I could keep up with my hooligan friend on a GSXR1000 with Supercorsa SC1s. They had amazing feel and wore very evenly.

That's my 2 pence, I imagine you'll end up with the S22 as that's the tyre I would like to try next too - I'm curious

Had the storm 3d on the vfr, excellent. Now have the spirit st (the new version of the storm) on the beema and no complaints so far.

I think the BMW 1250 RS had those on I test rode the other week.

Was shocked how much confidence I had in the front on a big heavy unfamiliar bike. Great all round tyre (y)

:D

They are all good i suspect.

I like your view of trying the S22 - something a bit different and will still stick like **** to a blanket.

I've been impressed with my Michelin Power RS - even in torrential rain they were good.

I'm a big fan of the Z8. I've used them a lot over the years.

The Z8s on the Multi were brilliant. Could not fault them in the dry or the heaviest rain (Colmar 2018, Jura 2019 ). Probably worth pricing up as they were only £200 fitted on the Multi. The ST should be cheaper.

This is my experience, D6 (y)

Except the Bridgestone BT016s which are a death trap and somehow still on sale!!!
