Bro if u need long distance tire i suggest u get bt021.. It's touring tire yet it has medium compound at the side for occassional cornering.. I've been using it for a few months and it still look brand new.. Good in wet weather too..

 

No offence but i'm sure bt021 is more lasting den pirelli hr and much more lasting den sportec m1.. sportec m1 and pirelli hr is already quite old technology.. I believe the newer the technology used in making tire, the better the tire.. For example, a race tire 10 years ago might be comparable to our sports tire today.. Juz my opinion..

Agreed that tyres are the most important part on the bike when banking. But most tyres will be good for everyday use as long as u don't push them hard round the bends.

Errr... sandy condition u can forget it. No matter how good a tyre, will still not have traction at all.

hey, since so many of us need to change tyres, if we change together, might be able to get cheaper, anyone interested?
