Z900RS Tyre Recommendations
Discussion
My Kwak Z900RS still has the awful Dunlop OE tyres fitted - traction control light is very busy....
Forums suggest fitting Michelin Road or Bridgestone T22.
My previous bike had Bridgestone S22, which had great feel, super sticky & lasted OK, but given the type of bike, would a more touring type tyre work better?
Just wondering if any of you lot have experience with the RS - I've only had mine since July, so am a bit of a newbie!

The key question is what will you be using the bike for? Track, fast road, commuting, touring? How many miles a year? What weather do you ride in?
I ride all year, but only in the dry & in daytime. Mostly fast road for an hour or three weekend blat. I guess I do around 5K miles PA these days. I can stretch to 2 sets of tyres PA, but would prefer that the rear lasts at least 4k miles...Update: I went for the Michelin Road 6. Fitted 4 weeks ago. I scrubbed them in before going on holiday. Got back a couple of days ago & the weather has been perfect for doing some shakedown rides. What a difference!! Ride quality so much smoother & more compliant. Confidence inspiring warm up & grip. I'm seriously impressed, although I haven't tested in the wet & am a fair weather biker anyway.....
They are probably not for track days or R1 riders, but for fast A road blasts in the real world, these tyres are IMO excellent.
