Any Yam.R6 owners? What's a good all-around pr. of tires ?
« on: June 10, 2014, 02:51:46 PM »
I have a customer who has an 08' Yamaha R6 sportbike w/ an old,worn pr. of Michelin Pilot radials: 180/55ZR17 Rr. & 120/60ZR17 fr. and these are the stock size.
The man wants me to lower and level out his ride height for his stature so I can 'bias' it differently for ride height front or rear. What tires work best for this bike as an 'every day rider/commuter' ?
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

Today we ordered a pair of new Michelin Pilot Road 3's for it for a great deal.
