Hi all im in need of a new rear tyre 170/60/zr/17
Whats a highly recomended tyre
I have a new michelin up front
Currently has a bridgstone Battlax on the rear that has worn very funny
With a new Michelin up front, I think you've answered your own question. In my opinion, and just to reaffirm Brock's and Nigel's (and likely a few other's views), Michelin is the way to go. Probably only the PR6 GT is available now, but if you have a PR5 GT on the front, best to try and match that one.
Why GT? The GT rating is for heavier bikes like the ST1300 at over 330kg.
It's a bitch when the tyre wears funny. Pressures? Answers to my questions on here and other Forums re. the tyre wear shown in the pics, "too low", "too high", "you're towing a trailer" (which I hadn't been). It can be very confusing, although I run 42 front, 44 rear solo, with a pillion and / or towing (which I do now from time to time).
How's the tow hitch going?
