In another thread I've just said how much I like bt-023s, but for entirely budget reasons I'm considering putting a set of these on. I've managed 9k out of the bt-023s so far and a set of conti's is about half the price, so if I get 5-6k from the conti's I'd be happy....unless they're awful..Anyone got any opinions either way?

Hi all.I have been looking for new tyres for a while now, and the Metzerlers keep catching my eye. Basically, I need a tyre that is good in the wet and cold conditions, but doesn't let me down in the dry. I ride all year round so good mileage would be a bonus. What do you think? Ive narrowed it down to Metzerlers roadtec Z6 or the Z8.

My Honda CB1300 runs a standard rear tyre of 180/55 I would like to replace that with a 190 section, would that size tyre upset the handling in any way?

I have a Kawasaki ER5, 07, with 5250 miles on the clock. For some months I have been experiencing rear wheel slide. Like when having to pull up sharply, the rear wheel sometimes fishtails, and yesterday, on a dry road, when going round a roundabout, felt a slight slide to the left. Seems to me that the rear wheel is not gripping the road surface? But more noticeable on right hand turns than left? With only 5250 miles, still plenty of tread. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Hi, I've just purchased a Honda NS400R but the tyres are perished. I've tried looking for tyres on various websites but none come up with the sizes I require which are 100/90 V16 (front) and 110/90 V17 (rear) any ideas of where I can purchase?

I think i read somewhere that all steel frame cbr600's from 1995 onwards can be fitted with a 180 section rear ryre. If so what difference does it make to the handling,is there eneough clearance, and why was'nt they fitted with them as standard?.
