| The standard tyres are shyte. I've had all sorts of 'moments' with them, I'm going to flatten the middle on toll roads on the way out on a Spain trip and get new ones fitted for the way back. |

| There is no correct answer, other wise everyone would buy the same. Everyone has different wants/needs/$$$/ability/use/style/etc etc.
I used "after-market" Dunlop Qualifiers and normal Pilot Powers. Both semed better than factory to me, both OK and useable.
As a better all round street tyre i'd say Pilot Power 2CT dual compounds, and change the back to a 190/55. |

| i have Avon Storm on my Bandit 12 and when i need new for the BKing i'll opt for them i reckon. Trouble is i think ridden hard any tyre will not last long.
I was going thru' a rear every 2000 miles on the B12 and i'm a skinny bugger, just heavy handed! |
