I shall refrain from comment as I'm not a fan of Bridgestone and no-one rates Pirelli in the wet as well as I do.......

So, @MadisonMotorsportUK, if it were to ever come to pass that you went looking at an FJR, which of those 3 tyres would you prefer to see on it!?

Whatever, I’d swap the out for Angel GT2s anyway

I have GT2 on the VFR and I love them, still have the Bridgestones that were on it when I bought it as they were hardly worn. You can still get the Angel ST and first phase GT (ST are still in production as far as I am aware). The ST is the cheaper option and still a damned good tyre.

I used to run Sport Attack/Sport Attack II on the Thunderace (much cheaper than Pirelli at the time) and they were awesome but the FJR is a fair bit heavier so don't know if they'd last long.

Next tyres for my GSXR will probably be Mitas SportForce+

PLEASE COMMENT....I'm open to more than just Bridgestone tires,
I just want some great replacement tires for my bike....What Pirelli's/tires do you like & or recommend?

If you want longevity, I'd probably suggest Diablo Rosso III. It's a good balance between performance wet and dry and long life. I doubt even 5% of riders could push them to their limit on the road. I've used them on a ZX10R and got about 8k km from the front and 5k km rear.

For once I’m going to be fair to the ‘Stones. OEM tyres are built to a price and manufactured in bulk. Tread depth isn’t the same as when you buy one yourself, it’s slightly less to save a few cents per tyre. Compound will be slightly different too, again to save money. In short, a factory fitted tyre will never be as good as the same tyre purchased aftermarket.
