Touring tyres

Oh font, what does one recommend for touring? I have BT020s on the
Sprint ATM, but frankly, although I liked them on the Speed Triple, they
seem a bit twitchy on the Sprint, especially in the wet :(

So, for mostly boring motorway with some suburban stuff, nice and long
lasting, what do I go for?

This is my typical ride and I got Pilot Road. Good grip, above average
in the wet, and very long lasting.

2 votes for pilots then, TY

Just got a BT 021 fitted to the back end of my fazer and it feels much
nicer than the old 020 did.

Obviously, the old 020 wasn't replaced because you liked the look of the
new 021 and had money burning a hole in your pocket, it was because the
old 020 was shagged. Any new tyre feels better than a shagged one.

Loz suggested Avon Azaro III's (which I got) and they've been perect for the
intended job. They've dropped them ow though and brought out the replacement
which are supposed to be grippier AND longer lasting.

Just got some (Storm) for the XJR... I'll let you know

The Azaro's have done over 7000 miles and they're still going strong on the
Zed btw.

You've got more than 7000 miles on a rear tyre on a Zed thou???

Others don't rate them, but they ride pure sports bikes and they ride a bit
quicker than me, so maybe they're not suited to a pure sprotbike.

I couldn't ride a pure sportsbike if my life depended on it, so no biggy
there, thanks for the feedback

Thank Lozzo, not me, I just did what you did and asked and he recommended
them based on how he guessed I ride. He was bob on too.

And then you provided feedback based on your experience, which is what I
was looking for :)

I realise it's not what ukrm is well known for, but I took the chance that
I'd get flamed for offering my experience as anecdotal evidence and I think
I got away with it :)
