Default Tyre recommendations

I am fairly new to riding and bikes. What tyres are people putting on their 600F3s? I haven't done much wet riding but with the autumn approaching fast that could change so I want the best rubber under me.

Thanks in advance

Tires for the F3 can be limited in availability for 160/60 ZR17 for the back and 120/60 ZR17 for the front. Any of the major name brands would be acceptable. Dunlop, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and others. Try to avoid going with a wider tire like 170 or 180's because they're fatter. It changes the profile of the tire and adversely affects the handling. The F3 is a fantastic handling bike and going with 160's will keep it that way. I personally don't like the Shinko's. The profile is really flat.

Bridgestone Battlax line of tires is good for all-around riding.
If you want more mileage, Kenda have several models for touring & commuting.

Really depends on what type of riding you do and your climate. Michelin's Road 5's seem to get consistently high praise for a wide range of riding - https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/201...cle-tire-test/
