Best tyres for r80/7

[darkhorse]

Any advice on best tyres to fit on an R80/7

Yes I know, round and black. So smart arses no need to post thanks.

Advice on most suitable, preferably nice and sticky type.

Cheers

BT45's

I tried the Conti Go's on my RS just to see how they compared. They're a brilliant tyre but wear out in no time at all. If your only dragging the 80/7 out now and again it may be worth considering them. Sherlocks will sell you a pair for £119 delivered http://www.james-sherlock.co.uk/tyre-offers.asp

I've got Bridgestone BT45s on mine - would highly recommend for grip/safety

they are said to last 5-6k miles, though I've only had mine on for about 1k

Should second/third whatever, the BT45 suggestion. Went for them on my R100 after using Metzeler 77's for many years, bike was transformed, white lining and wet roads no longer a worry, handling improved dramatically.
