Tyre Recommendations

Discussion in '851 / 888' started by Desmophil, Jul 4, 2023.

  1. I am really not up to date with my biking anymore.
    I am finally looking to start the rebuild of my 888s and will need to change the tyres that must be 20 years old.

    What would you recommend for size and brand for mostly road riding and dry riding as a good performance tyre that works well on the 888? (I am on the standard alloys with 3.5 inch front and 5.5 rear).

    Thank you
     
  2. Metzeler M9RR. Great sporty tyre and good in all road conditions.

  3. What size do you go for 120/70 front and 180/55 rear?

    I always got on with Pirelli - and was wondering about the Diablo Rosso - and then went to Michelin for a bit but I want something more summer than Pilot Road (which I always rated high in all conditions and especially good in rain) and less sporty than the Power range. So, road range probably.

    I remember using metzeler on the track bike and really like them back in the days.
