Something sports-tourey, michelin ones (what are they called? they are meant to be really good) or avon storms

They'll be better than the best sports bike tyre of the day

PR4s or PR3s or even PR2s.


Not Avon Storms (since they went from the ST to the Ultra 2) they because st & dangerous if damp.

AFAICT the 1100 takes very common tyres sizes (120/70ZR17 and 185/55ZR17), so you have a huge range of tyres to choose from.

Your use of the bike will suggest the most appropriate tyres.

For all weather road use something like a Michelin Pilot Road 3 (or 4), Metzeler Z8, Bridgestone T30, Pirelli Angel GT, Dunlop RoadSmart etc. will all do the job very well.

For mainly dry use in warmer weather, or for the occasional track day you could go for sportier rubber that will give more grip in the dry, at the expense of some wet grip. Have a look at Fast Bikes tyre review

M&P have an cracking deal on Metzeler Sportec M3 tyres at the moment. You can get a 120/70ZR17 and 185/55ZR17 for £120 the pair including delivery which is significantly cheaper than even e.g. Maxxis budget tyres.
