    so the time has come for me to get new tyres on my new bike. ive had the bike a week and its had 3000 miles put onto it and I feel I need new tyres. im not liking the current tyres - bridgestone battlax`s they just don't grip as well as they should and theyre shite in the rain. im considering the Pirelli sport demons but not sure.
    once ive got my scooter back I wont be commuting on the machine so itll be for weekend blasts and the odd ride down to wales.. so something durable but grippy and good in the wet incase I do get caught in rain... price not really too bothered about but don't want stupidly expensive tyres. suggestions?

    I had the Pirelli Sport Demons on my new wr125x. I never had any dodgy moments in the 9 months covering 3000 miles whilst I had the bike. I thought they were very good in the rain too.

    3k miles in a week. Ever thought of moving closer to work. I'd never consider that sort of miles for a commute. And doubt I'd be doing that on a bike. Sorry I cantbe constructive I've not had to buy tyres yet

    Not 3k commuting although a fair bit of it has been for running around for work. But ive been riding it literally everywhere. 5 min walk to shop. Fuck it. Take the bike. Found a bike that puts a big smile on my face everytime i ride it lol
