Hi all. Need a new set of tyres(tires) for my cbr1000f at the moment have Dunlop sportsmax fitted. The front tyre is ok but rear is shot should I change as a pair. Heard the Dunlop roadsmarts are the way to go. Anyone on here with any advise. Thanks

 

Hi Harry!
We've had quite a few tire threads here lately, and there is a lot of good reading on some different types..
I have the Sportmaxx Qualifiers on at the moment, but I think they're a little too soft.
I've heard good things about the Michelin Pilot Road 2's.
Do a search and you should be able to come up with some good suggestions.
As far as having to change them both at the same time, you don't have to. If the front is all cracked up, though... (or cupped bad like mine was), you'd be best off changing both.

 

Read the history - lots there.......................

 

Thanks all.Had a good read thru gonna go for Michelins.

 

Good tyre Harry especially in wet weather up around Donegal

 

I have about 2500 miles on first set of Mich Pilot II. First ride was two up, full bags on the dragon in the rain last April. They look and feel like winners to me.

 

We do'nt know what rain is here,practically desert!!!!!!!
