TT600 2002 New Tyres

Hi there guys!
I want to change the tyres in my TT600 2002 model and i dont know what tyre to choose.
I want tyres for every day road use.
I have read your posts about tyres but i think they are some months old and i believe that now they are new tyres and models.
Please if anyone knows tell me what i must choose!
Thnks in advance for your answers!

For everyday use with good performance capability in the wet, dry, and on the curves, I having nothing but good things to say about Pirelli Diablo Strada tires. They have lasted much longer than the Metzeler M1 and Michelin Pilot Powers I have run. If you want something a little softer/stickier, Pirelli Diablo Corsa III are great tires as well; although the Stradas hold up better for commuting.

What your objective is will decide what you buy. Realistically, very few of us (unless you are doing track days) exploit the full capabilities of high performance sport tires, which also wear out rather quickly. For everyday use, combined with very good performance capabilities and longer wear, the better sport-touring tires are an excellent choice.

Recently Troy 96 posted a tire test. As you can see, BombFactory makes a good recommendation (Strada).

If you really must have a high performance sport tire, I think that you won't go wrong with the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT or Bridgestone BT016

isaias,

Suggest you add your location and motorcycle model to your profile as it may be relevant to advice in the future.

In this case I can not comment on the web site as I am the U.S. and have never used this company.

As to the tire sizes, you are correct:
Front 120/70 ZR 17
Rear 180/55 ZR 17

However, your page links do not reflect the correct sizes. In fact, both links show front tires in 120/60 ZR 17.

Be sure you show the correct tire size in the "Select Options" window when you place your order or you will get the wrong size. So, select the correct front tire size, click "add to basket", then select the correct rear tire size, click "add to basket". Complete payment and you are done.
