i would draw up your list of what has been rated highly by folk - then shop too see actual costs - then decide

I have bridgestone BT021s fitted to my mercury grey.....
Summer riding i think they are awsome.
Winter riding i can not quote has i am what they call a fair weather biker

I have michelin's on mine, purchased like it.
I ride all year round I have no complaints about the michelins.

I usually always ride bridgestones, have done for years and years
they've always been fabulous tyres.
Generally the sport-touring number.

The avon storms let go on me yesterday, half way round a corner, with the throttle about half open.

They seem to be a lot less grippy this year than they were last year.

They have only been on for just over a year.

Thought i'd take a punt and ordered some Roadmart 2's, so will see how it goes!

I'm sure you'll be delighted, if not gobsmacked by them. I'm a life-long Michelin man and have always been dismissive of Dunlop, but I can't fault the Roadsmarts.

So much so that I have a set of Sportsmarts waiting to fit to my newly powder-coated Oz rims. (When they come back).
