i want to try the rennsport k3s

[Blade]

Why don't you try the new ractec rr k3 ? They look good on paper rennport are about 6 years old aren't they ?

[Blade]

The rennsports were replaced by the racetec and the racetec was replaced by the racetec rr.

I fancy a pair for the sp.

Sorry I meant racetechs or whatever the latest track day rubber metzler sell

[Blade]

Just out the rr's and if the hype is to be believed they seem very good.

Let me know if you find a good deal I fancy a pair for the sp possibly.

PR4 excellent in wet and mileage not bad either. Track day shit after 2nd session.. Limped on 3rd and dared not go out on last session.. Angel ST for me by far best all round I've used tracked and long haul plus daily commute. Got 10k miles out a rear on the R1 albeit down to steel band. I've had several sets as I like them.. Not use the GT but is slightly harder from what I hear. Hence Grand Tourer badging.. Not sport Tourer.. I didn't want go whole hog on tourer so only tried the ST.

Cheers Rick. We're similar in use and riding so that's good feedback.

I'd go for the St anyway.. Haha that's the tyres I scraped my hero blobs with ;-)

[Kwacky]

They do seem decent value for money and the guy who is selling them uses them, which is a good sign.

The ST's are the outgoing tyre and the GT is replacing it. Here is a good write up on them. If you can get the ST's for a good price I'd go for it.

I have ST on my speed. Pretty happy so far.

[Blade]

Made a decision yet Kwacky ?

[Kwacky]

No

It's the S20s on at present and I'm pretty impressed with them to be honest. I know the reviews about them are mixed but given that I'm still getting used to the bike the tyres haven't caused me any concerns.

So I might go for another S20 rear and then make a decision when the front is closer to being changed.

[Blade]

If the front is good and your happy sounds a good plan to me
