TBH I'm really happy with the Metzelers.. They really seem to suit the bike and my riding style.

I'll probably go with the new m7s but I did have second thoughts when I read that people were running the T30 on the track without issue.

I'm due some new tyres with the MOT arriving next month and my rear pretty much at the wear bar. I normally use Dunlop roadsmart 2's because I had a pretty decent 7-8k out of the last set I had but I have only managed 4500 miles out of this rear and I can't see the front lasting another rear.
So I was thinking of trying out some Michelin Pilot Road III's. Anyone have any experience with these?

for Oponeo, I think they may be a Polish company as they were recommended to me by some Polish guys I work with. I have used them a couple of times and all has been good. I will be using them this time too.

Just found this:

Oponeo:
We are a Polish company also present on foreign markets. In addition to Polish, we sell tires and rims including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, England, Austria, the Netherlands and we are planning to enter the markets of other countries. We are one of the few Polish companies online that have decided to expand in the direction of Western Europe. On the tires of our stores run driver in Europe. Click on the selected flag to learn more and move to one of our foreign stores with the tires and rims.

Ran these on my 675 Daytona and wow what a tyre. Endless grip whatever the weather (literally) length of service on my bike, used pretty much every day (unless being lazy lol) around 7k and didn't show any wear even at the mark. Couldbt recommend them any more

But ohe thing it did point out to me was the lack of feed back it gave me...however I came from a Pirelli supercorsas and that showed every bump and ditch in the road lol!

My Dad was so inpressed with these tyres he even got them fitted to his Bike (ER6) and must admit I tide his too and their inpressive no matter what bike haha

Guess who's happy today
Very impressed with the service from moto-tyre, Thats approximately 48 hours from placing the order to having the tyres in the man cave.. Going to whip the wheels off over the weekend and get them over to be fitted early next week, hopefully the brake pads will turn up on Tuesday then I can get everything done at the same time.

It's going to be a nervy ride down to the MOT station, new tyres and new pads better not fecking rain...

Nice one Jon.

Thanks for the info, just ordered them now.

Glad it went well after recommending them, lol. As I said I thought they were good.

Wow that's amazing! I love new tyres. I used to work for Dunlop many years ago and used to love working in the factory

Be interested on your feedback on these tyres
