I use dnlop 208rr's and they are sticker than the 207's but I dont think they give good wear realy, how many miles should i get from a rear and a front? (front seems to be wearing just as much as rear). what millage do you lot tend to get out of tyres on a zxr400?

[masterofinsanity]

michelin macadams you'll get 2 1/2 years out of but i wouldn't recommend them.

I've done 2500 on my BT090's and they done't even look run in

Never had a "moment" or bad feel from them

Highly recommended, look spunky too

Ive only done 200 odd miles on my 090's and they stick like toad!

I remember i went over a roundabout at 70mph, flicked it left, right, left no problem.

Anyone seen those vipers yet? Avon Vipers i think, was at my mates work place (he works for watling tyres) and there were a set sat there, had a feel of the rubber and its almost as soft as the rubber you rub pencil out with! Might give those a go on my 7!
