They used a Yamaha MT07 tracer and a very experienced rider and loved some and not keen on others. With all the money the tyre manufacturers spend it seems strange when they get it wrong.
The tyre they love is the Metzeler Roadtec 01 which had a score of 20 out of 20. Bit more expensive than my budget but my mate has them on his guzzi and he says they are the best tyres he has ever had, but we have all heard that before lol.
Only problem with them tests is the fact they only use 1 bike. The mt07 is an incredibly light bike and also a twin so it power delivery and handling are vastly different to something like a zxr1400
So what may be good for one isn't necessarily good for the other. That's why these forums can be helpful as you get the option of people that actually use the bike in question and almost definitely aren't paid for their opinions haha
