TYRE THREAD... what are your preference's

Vote for your fave tyre's  :smiley:

Personally i think the Avon ZZ3's perform awesome in all conditions and are a very decent price. Almost half the price of some others up there, and they last a long time, so thats where my vote goes.

I liked my Conti 3's but have Vreds now, but havent had them on long enough in non icy weather to get a proper feel for them.
As for the Avons, they make v good bike tyres as thats what i use on the Ninja, no reason why they shouldnt make good road car tyres too IMO!

Next will be Michelin Pilot SuperSport (not PS2 or PS3) for street and Dunlop Direzza 03G for track.

 :driver:

Think both are best money can buy for its application.

I would absolutely agree with what Bruce has said, I'd be waiting on the new Supersports.

Shame DZ03Gs are so expensive over here and my favourite, Pilot Sport Cups are near impossible to come by.

Loving my Pilot Sport 3's, just amazing grip in the wet.

Before the PS3's were fitted in Dec 2010, I had a set of each below

Yoko's
Goodyear G3's

By far the PS3's are miles better,oohhh and to boot the road noise has drop alot also, by running these.

Of tried rubber on the mk 5 I would say the Toyo R1R  :driver: , not on the list yet Joe  :P
But if not overpriced like the rest of the Michelins i would try their supersports.
Next tyre to be fitted for road use is the Toyo T1 Sport (Not the T1S) in 19"

Over the top mod list ;o)
