We all know the importance of making sure your motorbike has the best tyres possible – the contact patch that keeps you pointing in the right direction is tiny, so needs to be made of high-quality rubber. Thing is though, tyres are expensive, and like all perishable items need to be replaced regularly before they wear out completely. That’s why you should keep an eye out for the best Black Friday tyre deals.

Additionally, the manufacturer claims a 10% increase in the tire's lifespan.

Winner of our sports touring tyre test

www.demon-tweeks.com

The Metzeler Roadtec SE 01 tires have established a presence for quite some time, previously securing victory in our 2020 sports-touring test, and remarkably, they have repeated this feat! Proving to be the top-performing tire under the tested conditions, they substantially elevated the performance, safety, and overall enjoyment of the GSX-S1000GT. Both of our testers were genuinely impressed by the tire's capabilities, and we are confident that their excellence extends to dry-weather performance as well.

Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart IV Motorcycle Tyre

Save 39%

Price: £95.20 (was £154.28)

www.demon-tweeks.com

In our Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart IV review Michael Neeves said: "Whlle mounted on an MT-07 test bike, the highest praise for the RoadSmart IVs is that they emulate the feel of a sports tire.

"The naked bike's steering is nimble, devoid of the sluggish resistance typical of old-school sports touring rubber as you lean into a corner. These tires exhibit stability, comfort at full lean, and a level of grip that surpasses the Yamaha's capabilities on dry roads.

"The ride quality is marginally stiffer compared to brands like Michelin or Metzeler, but it still offers a plush and comfortable experience."

Pros

Sports-tyre like
Good handling

Cons

Slightly stiffer ride
