Ordered New Tires (Tyres)

[RocketDaryl]

I know I'm not the only one with multiple bikes so I figure some of that have other bikes in addition to your Rockets can chime in.

My Tiger is in need of tires so I ordered some Michelin Pilot Road IIIs today. The OEM tires are Pilot Road IIs. They're "ok" and I got decent mileage out of them (13.5k), but I've not been happy with them since around 9k miles. They cupped, and they also lost considerable amount of grip. I could get another 2-3k out of them pretty easy as far as tread life but, again, they've lost that loving feeling.

The shop raves about the IIIs, saying they're a considerable improvement so I'm going to give them a try.

I asked about Dunlop Roadsmarts, but the shop wasn't too high on them.

I ran the Avon Storms on my Honda ST1300, Absolutely loved them. great in the wet. and wear was comparable. Now i see that they have upgraded them to a storm II Ultra. might want to give them a shot. But then i have heard good things about the pilots as well.

I'll have to keep those in mind for next time. The Road IIIs are now on the bike. I'm liking them so far.
