Tyres again

[smilinjack 0]

Phoned these people today to see about a new tyre(Maxxis super touring as per the link) for my Kawasaki, which it turns out is out of stock. However, they are currently offering the Maxxis diamond tread touring tyre at £145 a pair delivered. Worth a sniff IMHO.

Never used MAXXIS but must be worth a try at the price.

Tell you what Ken I'm a convert. I've had them on my ZZR for a couple of years and can't praise them enough. Good wear rate, and the best handling tyre I've had on this bike. I've got a set of the old type to fit on my VFR before I take it abroad. Recommended, particularly at such a price.

Close to £200 B/stones and my last front was poor on mileage. 2 fronts to 1 rear.

Using the 021's on the bike and replaced the front not a pair as lots of proper tread and shape remaining on the rear. When both are finished I might just try the MAXXIS.

Got super maxxis diamonds on my b12 and I have more confidence with then. I thought the b21 tyres were crap and I used to wear a back tyre out in 2500 miles. So far I've done over 500 on these and there wearing well.
