I noticed that someone voted for maxis, (or however you spell it) I voted for pirelles (or however you spell it) BUT i read a report by guy martin who said they were a good tyre, and very well priced i think, I'd like to try them all really, do you think that could be aranged?

Nothing stopping you trying them all at any trackday, I don't think too many freebie offers would be coming your way to do it tho'.

i voted for maxxis tyres based on some reports i had read and feedback from other riders who have tested them, also due to the fact that , like Pirelli, they were willing to certify the tyre safe for the uses that we have in mind for the tyre and also it seems to have good longevity when used in race conditions. the fact that they have also indicated that prices would be more competitive and that they would support the series to a greater extent than the current supplier.

a win win situation if ever i saw one!!

I vote for the tyres used by Burt Munro on his 'Indian' motorcycle. How about that, one tyre to last the next 10 seasons. The black shoe polish must be included in the price otherwise I won't be buying ;-))))

I take it they are fitted to your road bike then

Currently my 998Hybrid, my 996Bp, my S2R and my R6 road bikes are all on Pirelli Diablos, there are cheaper tyres out there but I trust my Pirellis so I'll stick with them even if it means paying a bit extra
