Haha Cookie I get the gag

These will now be OEM standard tyres for the KTM 690 as from next year.

Great choice by ktm,I don't think they scrimp on tyres my rc8 had supercorsas fitted as standard

Think that is fab. Especially for places like Britain we need tyres that can be used in our unpredictable climate

Rossgo, I think that's the reason for the choice. Good move by both KTM and Metz.

Shrewd move by Metzler.

The 690 will be alot of people's first big bike and gets young riders into the brand and confidence in the metzler range and product early. Seeing as alot of people stay with one particular brand if they like and trust them it's a shrewd commercial move imo.

That's a move that makes perfect business sense - so long as they use the proper tyre and not an OEM one to improve mileage therefore sacrificing grip

Been quoted £120 for a new rear, fitted, with a new L shape valve.

Seems reasonable to me.

The currrent rear has just under 5,000 miles on it with life left but with spring not far off and a puncture to deal with it seems like a good time to get a new tyre.

That's very good Kwacky I think my rear cost me 135 for a pilot power

Rossgo I sent you a link for a pair of Pilot Powers for £130 for both front and rear mate

M7rr is £100 on tyreleader if any use to you Kwacky.

Thanks, but I've still got to get it fitted and buy a valve.

Cheers Blade I haven't got any link? £130 is good price for very good tyres in my honest opinion.

It was a while a go Rossgo when you were looking for tyres.

Oh!!! I see yes I remember now! I was thinking you sent it last night [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]!! I am seriously considering M7RR but buying online as seems very cheap!

Love this thread it has highlighted everything about the tyres

Try tyreleader online Rossgo they are always hard to beat on price but remember to budget an extra £20 for fitting to loose wheels. Still normally works out £30-60 cheaper in my experience.

Oponeo are the other site to use. Either of these two are always cheapest!

I said I would pimp them. £120 for a new rear fitted to a loose wheel is pretty good value.
