Looks like you have Bridgestones so I would stick with a tyre from the same manufacturer unless you change the front at the same time.ferret wrote:Ok lads ive just purchased an 02 plate bandit 12 and only thing needs sorting is rear tyre,whats best choice for these beasts?

Haha! I have Metzeller Racetec's on mine. Heard good reviews as they heat up fast and the general feel is good. Personally I will go for Pirelli corsa2's.
