Oh yeah.. sorry. That is for my FZ-09go 170 though
I went from stock to avon storm 2's....love those tires...went to metzlers because I couldn't get the storms 2's one fall and won't get those again....and I am searching for the storm 2's now...Dunlops- I've had the Roadsmart II as OEM no road feel at all. Great in the wet and good braking. Was the hardest feeling tire I've ever had. I'm running Q3s right now and they are excellent, makes the bike's steering lighter and quicker.
Michelin- I've only run their Pilot Power tires and loved them. Very tippy feeling. You must inflate to full pressure 36/42 on these to get that Pilot Power feeling. More tippy than completely flat feeling stable. More attention is needed on these than Q3s. The Q3s feel more stable and glued to the road.
Pirelli- I have run the Rosso II and disliked them after about 1k, felt the flatspotting very early on and I know they are well reviewed but never again Pirelli for me.
Bridgestone- Did not like the BT021, maybe sport touring tires are just not my cup of tea. Just bland in every way
Next I am trying Avon 3D ultra sports that I got off ebay for a very low price. I should be sticking with the Q3s but I like to try new things out.
I was wondering what Metzeler's you ran that you wouldn't get again. I'm on my 2nd set of M5's and love them.I went from stock to avon storm 2's....love those tires...went to metzlers because I couldn't get the storms 2's one fall and won't get those again....and I am searching for the storm 2's now...
