Bought my 'bird in May got MAXXIS tyres on, yeah I know never heard of them either but seem to be new brand and getting good reviews in mags. The tread pattern looks like cut slicks and they warm up quick, sticky enough in the dry and pretty good in the wet, but not overly hard wearing gotta change rear soon and only just gone past 3k on it, been playing on the bike 8) so Im thinking will try a dual compound one next time
Im not a complete idiot...........some parts are missing
