Tyre advice for my 16v brick

[Bonzo]

Howdy,

Its time to replace the Conti road attacks (which I have been very underwhelmed with) on my K100RS for some new rubber and wondered if anyone has any views on any of my replacement options.

Front: 120/70 ZR17
Rear: 160/60 ZR18

I can either go, Michelin Pilot Road 2, Metzeler Z6 Interact, Bridgestone BT 023 or Pirelli Angel ST.

Any recommendations?

If someone has a set of Pirelli Diablo Stradas Go for them if not the later Angel ST

I have used them on my R1100 "GR" and was Well impressed with them I'd tried contis and avons and next after the stradas were Battlax

So don't forget BT45R as well

EDIT all of above are good tyres but you may not get longevity The GR with the Pirellis got about 5000 with spirited riding and a big fecker on a big bike on them about 20% of time 2 up

I just got a 16v brick too :-D Nice aren;t they ??

I run Dunlop Roadsmarts on my K1100RS - and they are great! Before that I had Z6's and they were OK to. Only 5K from the rears but the bricks are heavy on them.

Ordered some Roadsmarts. Should have them fitted at the end of the week.
