What tyres to fit

[nickm]

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.

Ive just fitted RP4 but will probably have to wait till next spring to find out what there like :'(

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
