Tyre Guide

Since some of us keep asking what the best tyre for the usage, I'll try to guide you guys on what I know. I'll briefly talk about the top three manufacturer that is Bridgestone, Pirelli and Michelin, just because it's easily available here. So this will leave out Avon, Continental, Metzeller and so on. And I'll only talk about supersports, sports, and sportstouring categories. I know jack about motards, enduro, cruiser and so on...

Okay...

To direct compare them with each other, for supersports & sport tourer, price indicated are roughly the market price for 120/70 and 190/55 a set, you may get cheaper in the street or a little higher from what I said. Don't brag on the if the price here is lower from the street. Just bargain.
