What tyres to fit - nickm - 20-08-15
Time has come for me to fit new tyres on my FZ8. I mostly do motorway riding about 40 miles a day. No racing or extreme speed. Been quoted £309 for Pirelli Angel GT by dealers.....that is too much for them. Another place quoted £265 for Michelin 4 gt and 235 for the 3.
Any opinions?

I've been using Dunlop RoadSmart II on my FZ8 and so far I can't fault them..

Have a guess what I'm going to suggest?

Just had Michelin Pilot Road 3 fitted and what a difference it's made to the handling. Find out how good they are after riding them in the wet. Meantime thanks to all for your advice.

I have the Pilot 2's and they seem quite good too. Nice and planted in the dry and good feedback in the wet.

I've just fitted a pair of Road Pilot 3s but only managed 40 miles on them before the roads became too greasy - don't class myself as hero enough to take them out in this weather. :eek
