I've just put on a new set off Continental Contiforce SM 120/70-17 and 150/60-17 monobike tyres (first time I'm using these)
I'll let you know what I think off them tuesday : going to a trackday at Fracorchamps .
untill now I had a Pirelli Demon 140/70-18 at the rear, and it was pretty good, execpt in the rain.

they never failed me , did everything perfect, and still look like new after 2,5 hours off "racing"

wet grip
I've just done a wet trackday at Oulten parc and had a mich hysport on the back which turned out to be usless, like riding a motocroos bike but alot less fun.
I am thinking of cutting a tyre to make a wet rear as you can't get an 18 inch wet race tyre. I would like to start with a compound that is good in the wet, I had a Pirrelli H rated dragon on the front which was verg good in the wet considering but these are no langer available.
I'm intending to buy a pair of grp 70's for the dry but haven't ridden on them before so don't know if they would be good for wet use.
So what does everyone think is the best road tyre in the wet which is available in std KR1S sizes?????
Thanks

I didnt think that the GPR100's were the replacment for the GPR70's there is a long discussion on it on the RGV forum
http://www.rgv250.co.uk/forums/index.ph ... 3&hl=GPR70
The GPR70 replacment is the a-10, the GPR100 replaces the GPR80 which is a more all round tyre.
Unless I have it wrong!

GPR70's???
Thanks for the advice,
I've looked around and the GPR70sp replacemant is the GPR alpha 10 sportmax can't find any info yet but have tried to order some gpr70sp's so will have to wait and see.
The Bt 090's arent made in the 140/60/18 from what I can find out.
Someone recons the the new diablo's arent good in the wet so haven't looked any further for these although they might make them in a h rated tyre!
Just got to find a tyre cutter to borrow and wait to see what tyres arrive if any?

Thanks Sean I will have to wait and see what happens, I've ordered the GRP 70sp's from M&P at £145 for pair. seemed cheap enough?
Do you know if the 090's are available in the 140/60 18 rear for kr1s? I couldn't find this size listed on the net.
Thanks for the help Martin
