What tyres are you running?

[laraza]

Tyres are coming up for replacement and I am not too happy with the metzelers so was wondering if any of you guys are running anything different and how happy you are with them and why.

Thanks in advance!

Avon cobra front and a Riken Raptor 225/55 rear. Very happy with the combo.

I put a Toyo Proxes T1R 225/55 16 on the rear about two weeks ago. The tire is exceptional, IMO. I have run CTs on my VTX 1800s for the last three years, but this Toyo doesn't really feel like a CT to me... it's that good!

Don't want to run ct's (insurance issues in UK) and would like to stick to standard sizes if poss

It's you brits that started the whole car tire thing on the R3, what does insurance have to say about it?

Avon Cobra front and rear. Great tires. 14k on front and still going, about 9k on rear before is was done. May have gone longer but had right wrist problems that I'am still working on.
