I'm about to change the Maxxis Supermotard front and Pirelli Diablo Rosso rear tyres that have been on my 2005 XTX for the last 3500 miles. I mainly use the bike for commuting (45 miles/day) and for scratching about the back roads.

I did a 500 mile round trip last saturday and when I got home I noticed the back tyre had loads of little horizontal cuts in it, suggesting the wheelies that *might* have happened at several traffic lights caused the early death of my back tyre.

Anyhew, I've ordered a pair of BT023's which are the latest Sports/Touring tyre from Bridgestone and I wonder if anyone has anything good/bad to say before I take the plunge and fit them.

Thanks buddies!
