Tyres For 2014 Thruxton

Hi,

Not so much experience but let me share... In the past I always used Metzeler in my previous bike (Norton), Now I replaced OEM Metzeler that came with my T100 for Michelin Pilot Activ and it is a HUGE diffeence.
Metzeler gave me the feeling of having square-section wheels (like wearing car wheels on a bike, or sidecar style) while the Pilot feeling is roooooound-tubby wheels. The Bonnie leans much better on corners and performs way much better on the bends.
No idea about Avons and Conti.

Good luck with your choice!

 

I have the avon Roadrider’s on mine and can’t fault them, keep the pressures right and you can’t go wrong

 

I put Avon Roadriders on my 2012 Thruxton and I like them. I spoke wth Avon about tyre pressures and they reccomended the following pressures:-

Front. 32 psi.
Rear. 36 psi.

Works much better for me

Avon AM26 Roadriders all the way for me had them on a year now Bonny SE 865 seem to grip well and theyre not wearing out quickly not the most expensive either.

 

Hi, I put conti road attack 3's on my Thruxton very pleased with them, from track day, to cold damp always feel sure footed.

 

I had several sets of Avon AM26 Roadrunners on my T100 and Pilot Road 5's on my current bike - an MT-07 Tracer - and both tyres are great in all conditions and wear well too !

 

Dont forget to scrub them in for a 100 miles or so like I did not once left the tyre shop gave it a big handfull of throttle and proceeded to broadside down the road luckily not coming off very embarrassing also as the guys in the garage looked on and laughed
