First r1 I had came with metzlers on, loved them to bits

Yep I quite like them to be honest they came on the bike when I bought it I don't do a lot of miles on it and they have plenty of tread on but age wise they are about ready for changing off
The problem is that tyre 'feel' is so subjective much of the time.
That said, I swapped my Dunlop Qualifiers for a Michelin Pr3/PR4 combo. The Dunlops 'chunked' horribly on the front maybe due to the 40c temperatures we have in summer, and even before that the front end felt vague. The bike now feels much more planted.

I know I'm fussy so I either use Black Circles or more usually call in at my local garage and they'll order in the tyres I want, I've saved a couple of good old tyres that came off our car in my garage that have about 3mm tread left so if I desperately need a tyre I can always get one of them stuck on a rim until they can get a good tyre ordered in for me.I'm in National Tyres right now having a pair of new tyres on the van, crist knows what they'll fit.....

Each journey blessed by invoking the gods of fortune. <lights joss stick and chimes bell>Saw a set of budget tyres in the Mot station, “Luckyland Happygallop” in capital letters on the sidewall.
