Tyre Recommendations '06 Z750

Post by ant »

Need some new tyres for the Z750.

Few questions:

- First of all - how many K's do you get out of a set of tyres?.

- The tread indicator thing is still a little below the outside of the tyres, how much more will i get out of them?.

- What brand tyres are good?

You will get a lot of opinions on that.... Have a look in the wheel/tire/suspension forum..... There are many threads on there on that subject...

pirelli diablo's

i used them on my Z and i really liked them.

i only experienced the standard tyres they sold it to me new with and then the diablos.
i found they tip in easier/quicker and were sticky as hell.

expensive though.

when i have to get new tyres on my zx6 im probably going to go the diablos again.

If you are at ANY wear marker, they should be replaced.

As for Tyres don't start me :lol: It's a smaller list of WHAT Not too fit.

I Would Stay away from a Bridgie 020 as a Front tyre & pass on any Dunlop that doesn't say Qualifier on it. Also any rear tyre that folds in Half when its pressed in the middle before going on the rim means they have tacken Belts out to gain Grip (which can increase Puncture Occurances)

For TOP end Performanace Don't Rule out the Soft Shinko's 003 & I think The Metzler Racetech are slightly better then the PILOT RACE asd Top of the HEAP atm.

Don't be surprised if you get less then 5000ks from a Nice Sticky rear though. Grip is better then HP afterall 8)
