The Michelin webpage for this section didnt work properly, you need to select Ducati from the tyre fitment page and leave the other two fields empty before pressing the 'search button......

Good Luck - Frank

I wouldn't burn Michelins to keep the bike warm in winter! I have recently discovered Bridgestones 012ss's and wouldn't switch back having tried just about eveything else. They are a great all round tyre IMHO. Wet / dry / track / road.

Bridgestones for me,though I've just been tempted by a good price on pirelli diablo's.
I think I'd rather run the wheel rims than michelins.....I'd get more grip in the rain.:lol:

I get about 70% off through Mclaren but still have to get them fitted and balanced ect.

Talking of burning Michelins, only do it when there hung over a speed/safety/tax collecting camera. :devil:

Oooh did I really say that.

A thousand hail Marys.

Hi thought the suspension was faulty on my 916,had the suspesion set up at pro v twins because the bike felt so bad. but looking at this thread it might be the pilot sports that were on the bike when i bought it.They just dont feel right i have no confidence in the rear end at al,l it just feels like its moving all the time:(Any advice welcome bike used only for sunny rides and one or two track days,only do about 2k a year on it so milage not an issue.

Not only does the webpage not work on Dukes neither do their tyres work for me on my Duke! Thanks for the good luck wishes Frank, but to my mind using Michelins on typical cold wet British roads needs as much luck as you can get. Take care and choose wisely cos more money dont always mean more grip!

Dont worry guys, some supercorsas will be going on my little cycle as soon as I can afford em !!!
