HELP

Havent got a flipping clue.

DO a fair bit of commuting and tyres usually square off. My front is a joke just now

Was going to buy off blackcircles maybe but there are FAR too many to choose from.

Currently have a pirelli diablo on my rear.

TBH tyres dont matter to me as i'll never be that quick on the road

Well you certainly wont get much service from a pirelli diablo if you do alot of commuting,my recommendation would be either the mitchelin pilot road 2CT or the new dunlop qualifier 2,hope this helps

maxxis then, cheaper than the well known brands and almost as good plus they make the ones that have a hard centre.

well worth the money

i just bought some pilot sports on ebay for £150 posted feel nice on the blade



last ones were 208's and were super sticky and lasted over 3k

soo cheap on ebay, sellers blackandround or similar

put in your sizes and search, as they seem to list em like that, putting in the bike brings up the pricier places

i really rate 2cts for grip. i have them on both my bikes and had them on the firestorm beofe that. the vfr has pilot road and the others have pilot power which are also good on trackdays.

i don't think they're the longest lasting though, but maybe a good compromise between grip and longevity
