Tyres

From Dunlop:

Dunlop have created an impressive tyre for road riders with a semi-serious trackday habit

Pirelli’s new Diablo Rosso tyres caters specifically for riders of sportsbikes and street bikes

Safe and stable on the road, they are more than adequate for the novice or intermediate group on a track day.

Pirelli's new mixed-compound Diablos should give the best of both worlds. Whitham gives 'em the berries round his favourite twisties - Monza

I HATE on/off-road tyres. Most trailie owners are never going to take their bikes off-road, so why fit tyres that compromise the handling?

Bridgestone launches its new Racing Street tyres - road-legal rubber aimed predominantly at track day riders in search of serious grip

BATTLAX BT-45 is a touring type tire offered in both H and V rated speed symbols. BATTLAX BT-45 gives all-round street performance, with the emphasis on riding comfort, long mileage, wet performance, all designed by the latest tire developing technologies of Bridgestone.

Having the confidence to simply chuck a big trailie into a corner isn't something I'm used to, and it transformed all the bikes

From Michelin:

And for winter conditions, which is what this test is all about, these are definitely better than the more sports-oriented Avons.

Pirelli's new mixed-compound Diablos should give the best of both world

Pilot Power, that is. New dual compound sport rubber released

The truth is we're spoiled rotten with decent tyres these days, and the latest in a line of sporty road rubber that's better than we deserve is Metzeler's just released Sportec M3.

From Michelin:

New dual compound sport rubber

Conti may lurk in the shadows of the mighty Michelin and Pirelli, but their SportAttack tyres are set to be big contenders
