TOPIC:

I'm looking for some suggestions on tyres for my Saturno. The isle of Man 350 I bought a few months back has 10 year old Metzeler M1s on it.

The grip is so bad that I can spin up the rear wheel crossing a white line.

I was looking at the Michelin Pilot Street Radials.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I put Bridgestone 090's on my 558 Saturno-great tyre, good on road and track.

I have the Michelin Street Radials on my Saturno. I currently have 10,000Kms on them and they look like I fitted them a month ago. I'm about to fit something stickier as these are hard and don't give much feedback, Having said that I haven't had them let go I would just prefer something better. I haven't decided what I will use yet.

Ok so got some new tyres for mine and went with Pirelli Supercorsa's. Don't know how long they will last but Geez don't they stick.

The Pirelli Supercorsa's look promising but I see that the only suitable rear is slightly wider than the 140/70 x 17 listed in the manual.

My bike is currently running a 150/60 x 17 on the rear anyway so I assume that this is a common substitution.

Another tyre possibility is the Michelin POWER RS. I've recently fitted one to the rear of my Benelli TnT and it's impressive.

The Pirelli supercorsa's I've fitted are the Competition versions so they come in a 140/70/17 rear.The front is a SC1 compound and the rear is a SC2 compound.
