Just acquired a 97 Blade and have been trawling the net for the possible tyre options given the 16 inch front tyre. The current options are:Pirelli DiabloAvon VP2 SportBridgestone BTo16 ProContisport AttackDunlop Qualifier IIMichellin Pilot SportRide on Pilot Road 2s on a Fazer 600 which are great. Won't be doing track days. It will be for Spring/Summer riding. Don't want something that's going to wear out in 2k but want reasonable grip given the extra power of the Blade.Any suggestions from fellow Blade riders would be appreciated.

So with nearly 12k miles on the it's time to get a new set of tyres. The Dunlop Roadsmart's that came on the ER6n lasted two months and always felt a little vague but the forced change after a puncture to Michelin Pilot Road's has proved fruitful for the mostly motorway commute. However, when it comes to the twisty roads they never filled me with confidence, especially on poorly maintained country roads. As a 'budget' tyre I suppose they have done well for what I use them for, racking up that sort of mileage is pretty impressive in my eyes ...

A few weeks ago I suffered a nail puncture on the crown of my Angel ST rear tyre with about 2000mls still on the tread but my local tyre depot said they could repair only Michellin tyres. Why is this ? What is the position with puncture repair kits ?

Hi,I have a 2008 V-Strom 1000GT with the original boots fitted. The bike has only covered 1800 miles. Obviously the the tyres still have lots of wear left in them . There are no signs of cracking in either the walls or tread of the tyres but I'm a little concerned that they may need replacing due to their age.Any assistance very much appreciated

The new Michelin is advertised as knocking seconds off wet and dry lap times in testing compared to the Power 2CT or Pure. Anyone tempted?

I'm looking at getting new rubber for my 600 bandit. I was thinking of corsas but a friend said to get Avon super maxis touring. Which would be better, or would something else be better.
