Anybody know of a good website that gives info on the various tyres available from different manufacturers. I want to do a bit of research as to what to put on my bike.

Dont research, just buy michelin pilot powers and live happily ever after. (if you ride a road bike that is ) Loads more grip and millage than the averege tyre and round about the same money as most of the rest. Good luck !

FX400R (GPZ400R). Looking for a tyre with good grip and a decent lifespan. Budget? Once I have found the right tyres, I will start saving! I put new tyres on a few months ago, so I'm doing some forward planning for the next set.

i reckon tyres are best tried and tested, you can look up and be told whay u should have etc, i love supercorsas ive run on my 600 and now on the r1 and they are awesome but what u get in grip u sacrifice in wear... best to see what u like cos what joe bloggs like might not work for you, everyones riding style is different, good luck
