I'm interested to find out what tyres all the owners of Gen 2 ZX10's are running.
I went from the original dunlops to the BT002's keeping the 190/55 profile of the originals
So whats your favorite? are you keeping to the 190/55's ?

I have Continental Race Attacks atm, couldn't get a 190/55 at the time i bought so 190/50 it is for now.
Not many places have 190/55 tyres...

Still haven't killed the standard dunflops, will probably opt for the M3s next.

190/50's wont make a noticable difference from 190/55s.
if it does, jack the rear up with a spacer, and instant 55 profile again.

I've read that the 55's give a better/bigger contact patch

let about 1/2 a pound out of the rear tyre, and you'll get that difference in contact patch back.

i've got the metzler M3's but i find it hard to really get the rear working. The front tyre is great but not the happiest with the rear, should have a long life though and i went back to the 50 series.
