    Although I'm still sub 1000 miles on the TTR, I aim to make the most of summer and get some miles ridden.

    There's every chance my OE tyres will be passed their best, so I'm wondering if there is a better fitment out there for the TTR.

    Just to be clear and save a flame war ;-):

    There is nothing wrong with the current tyre and if they're a decent price when it comes to replacement, I'll likely stick with them.

    Luckily I only need three things from the tyres. Dry grip, good feedback and quick warm-up. Nothing else matters, so if there is a blu-tac tyre, I'm more than happy to fit it ;-)

    Yep agree nothing wrong with factory tyre, done 2500 miles on mine, most of it two up and because of this will need to replace probably before the end of summer, will be looking for something with a bit more life but I do like the grip.

    Cheers. I only go solo and just want grip, so OE tyres it is it would seem.

    If you want a little bit faster turn and lean grip the the new corsa 3 would be a great choice as its in between the corsa rosso and the full on supercorsa :)

    Have a look at the Metzeler Racetec RR, fitted these to my Speedy R and they transformed the front end grip which I found a bit lacking previously....scary bad with standing water though.
