Title: Best tyres for 2012 GTR1400
Post by: MartinC on August 19, 2013, 05:39:36 PM
Hello everyone / anyone

I've recently purchased a 2012 GTR and now have 3,700 miles on it (after a very happy 6 days on the West coast of Scotland in the best weather ever!) - Some advice please from other owners, when it comes to tyre choice on this model what does everyone recommend?

The machine is used for both fun (evening blasts after work through Oxfordshire countryside) and also for more long distant runs A roads (as little motorway as possible).

Opinions, observations gratefully received Thank you

PR3s, well that's my view  :yes:

Good in the Dry and great in the wet, they last better than most too

Had my 2010 GTR 3-4 weeks now and only really used it for short runs to work with about 2 longer runs to wales from Manchester and in both dry and wet. Mine has fairly newish tyres on from me purchasing it which are Angel ST's and so far.. I am pretty happy with them  :yes:

There you go then.... Either PR3's or Angel ST's..... I'm very happy with my PR3's ... they don't seem to be squaring off despite quite a bit of motorway 2 up....

But saying that I may well try a pair of Angel ST's next.... just so I know....A change is as good as a rest they say    :wink:
