vic-fzr600 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi folks. Trying to use the bike daily for as long as possible before conceding defeat for the winter. Any recommendations for good tyres for this kinda weather? I ride rural / main roads to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christofeser Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Conti Road Attacks are quite nice for commuting... They wont stop you sliding it around on an icy road though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Avon make some pretty good tyres and are often reknowned for their excellent grip in all weathers. They last ages, too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Conti TKC80's have superb grip on winter roads.... they are going to look very odd on your bike though!! What you should look for is something soft, as a rule of thumb (and not always correct) the longer a tyre lasts the harder the compound. On winter roads normal tyres never reach optimum temperature, this is why some countries specify 'winter tyres' as they heat up even in the exteme cold. On a bike these are normally accompanied with spikes, so realy not what you want. The alternative is to find a realy soft compound that will last the winter and need replacing in the spring. If this is any help to you I don't know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
