recommended tyres for 620

17-12-2003, 08:01 PM

I've done over 6k miles on the original tyres and will be looking to replace them early next year. My other half has got Diablos on his Hornet and is considering them for my 620sie. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've not seen any reports or recommendations for tyres for the monsters.

Dunlop D207's are pretty groovy.

Bridgestone BT010's are great

or if you do a lot of motorway stuff.... 010 on the front & an 020 on the rear, its a bit harder wearing

I'm currently using Metzeler ME-Z3 Racing on my M750. I'll be switching to Metzeler Rennsports when I kill off the Z3's.

what about Pirelli dragons?

well i prefer Bridgestones 020 on both tyres, last long time 8000 miles ish, they're a dual compound tyre - hard in middle so no squareing off 'incase you have to do motorways' and soft on edges lovely in corners, excellent in the wet, but not all that cheap....

Dunlop 207's are favourite at mo, they're doing a deal for Â£130.00 for both at most good tyre places or bike shops plus fitting....

I changed my original Dunlops at 11,00 miles for Pirelli Dragon GTS Sport Touring - Take a look at the Pirelli website and fitment chart.

Had the tyres for about 500 miles and they feel fine - lots of deep tread gives confidence if caught out by rain and they feel more than grippy enough in the dry.
