Best road tyres
Hi All,
Have now read all your great threads and replys about tyres but can anyone tell me the best tyres for road only use? |

Bridgestone Battlewing (but that's just my very humble personal opinion) followed by Dunlop Trialmax (also very subjective) . To be fair with you, I can honestly say I haven't actually tried every conceivable alternative, so I'd take this advice with a pinch of salt!

On my XT660X I just recently fitted a pair of Pirelli Diablos and I have so far covered about 1500kms and the bike feels great both in the dry and in the wet. Hope this helps!!!

Hi
I've tried a few, and Metzeler Tourance EXP are my favourite road tyres at the mo. Feel more sure-footed than std Tourance. Rob |

I prefer the Pirelli Scorpion Trail over the battlewings. Wear is better and they grip better in the wet.
It's all very subjective as it depends on how you ride! |
