Yamaha XJR1300sp Tires

Very good grip, especially on the dry and good handling, but the back tire wears quickly. 5000 miles and your almost on the mark..

Excellent tires. I had heard that the front wears un-even but that wasn't the case with me both tires wore evenly. I had also been told you will change 2 front tires to one back tire but that also wasn't the case with me. Very confident on tight bends with these tires. The bike is a heavy machine but I could get the knee down once these tires had warmed up. I had a different xjr before with different tires and I never felt the confidence that I got from these. Now that doesn't mean you can bump up the price on them because there good. I did notice they have gone up this year by 40 euros a set. And if they go up anymore il be switching to pirelli to try them. I honestly can't fault these tires I've 10,700 km done and there's probably another 200km left in them. It's predessecior I did have a problem with, trying to plug a hole and it was having none of it, would not take the plug nó matter what I did.

Absolute confidence in this tire although I thought the compound was K2 not K3. As the rating I dictates found it sweet progression with very positive traction even through the sparse light gravel off the swept lane area. Wore fast comparatively but love the tradeoff for handling traction & predictive behaviour. Bit of care in the wet .

I ride Yamaha xjr1300 and have used these tires for the past five years going through two rear and one front tire a year - give great road feedback great in the wet and don't think ill change from Avon storm any time soon -
