    Hi allJust recently purchased a 2008 ST1050 and her tyres are 12 years old so I want to get here some new rubber.
    Currently she has Bridgestones but never been a big fan TBH.
    Anybody have any recommendations about what they use and what suits the bike please?
    ta very much

    Obviously tyres are a big personal preference. For what it is worth, I have Bridgestones on my Fireblade as that is what was fitted when I bought it and dislike them. What I DO very much like and am on my second set of on my Street Triple and @Helmut Visor on his Touno are Dunlop Roadsmart IVs. I have the SP as the Striple is a light bike, however they do a GT version as well for heavier touring bikes.

    I get about 8000 - 10000 miles from a set and enjoy quite spirited riding, the set I have on now has also done two track training days. They're really responsive tyres, you get great feel from them and they do turn in quickly. They are also cracking in the wet, very confidence inspiring.
