Motorcycle Tyres
« on: November 11, 2010, 16:17:41 »
Always interested in peoples opinons regarding tyres, still got my stock Bridgestones fitted which though' not tested to the full have not had me off like some on here have had happen, but come the time for replace I'm interested in others  views and findings. It would seem to be between Tourances and Anakees. Anyways, I found this link and it may be of interest to others.

I've used both the torrances and the anakee 2s


If its grip your after the anakee 2s blow the tourances out of the water in all conditions wet, dry and offroad.

If you want to get a bit of mileage out of them then go with the tourances they will outlast the anakees by a few hundred miles according to the posts on here.



I would say go with the anakees I would rather sacrifice a few miles and have excellent grip than settle for average grip and a few more miles.  :thumb:

I'd be careful about advice from anyone who can't spell "tyre". :grin:
