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!
