Had M1's fitted M3's are supposed to be better, I think they are great.

Are they called anything else or just the letter/number deal ?
I know the Racetech's come in 3 different compounds a 0/1/2 ?.

Ok Cool No havent heard anything about them so Far, But if they are as good as the M1 they will go over well. Lots of folks swore by the M1 as a good compromise tyre. Grip vs Durability.

Buddy is about ot fit either the racetecs or the continental attacks to his 06 10, so will pass on how they work for him once a few miles are up. Been pushing powers to him since day 1, but am happy for him to test on our behalf

I have the blurb on these, they are both in the manufactures ad, both are listed as Track Day/ Sports tyre. M3's do not replace the M1's.

IS there any problems getting tyres for the 16" Front on a older CBR900?

I had them fitted at Rick Andrews Gosford, they had the 16 inch front in stock, the 190 rear they had to get in, to answer your question most people sell them, just not off the shelf.

well i aint getting m3 metzlers as there is none around for a month or so, all the ones that came in were pre sold
I then thought i would try avon vipers
nope some couyrt battle over the name so no joy there
So in the meantime i am thinking pilot sport hpx on the rear and power on the front, Sport on the rear to get a few more k.s i hope, is this combo ok ??????

Would be going for a straight set of powers z900/zx9 unless your wearing the middles out of your tyres, I get around 8000kms out of a pilot power.
Do they stioll make a pilot sport?? Most of the guys on 12s go for pilot roads on the back for the milage.
