Tyre Suggestion For Daytona 955i

I would stick a 180 on it. Turns in much quicker than the 190. Triumph only went to the 190 back in the day for design over function.

 

Michelin RS is a brilliant tyre. Had them on the Tuono, great in the dry, and a lot better in the rain / damp than you'd expect looking at the tread. I was amazed how stable they felt on a greasy damp road.

Only reason I'm on PR5 now, is the Tuono ruined a rear in 1500 miles, but front did 6000 miles !!!

 

Yes Colin you're quite right. But in practise I remember mine handling so much sweeter with a quality 180 fitted.

 

I’ve put Dunlop Qualifiers on my Daytona, a great all round tyre and they were only £125 a pair.

 

if you are only going to be using the bike on the road, do you really need a sports tyre as it is not like you are going to be able to get the max out of it on the road. If the old tyres were lacking grip I could understand it
just my 10p worth

 

Bridgestone S21 or S22 should fit your bill nicely mate

On my daily Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2, I get between 4000 miles to 7000 miles on the rear, 12000 on the front. Yes, I live in Southern California, it does rain sometimes and drainage isn't the greatest on most roads, I still ride. These act great, I ride at night and some years it has dipped into the low 30°s. Dont like the 3s because they cup in the front. Now running the Angel ST in the rear, had it on the front but it cupped. I have an Angel GT in the front now. The rear I got 8000 miles before changing. The front I now have 9000 miles and it has half the tread left.
The Daytona 955i has Metzeler Sportec M7RR 190/55 rear, M5 for now on the front. The bike came with Metzlers stock, they looked good, but NO, not riding a bike with 20 year old tires. They are very predictable so far.
