Fazer rear tyre

Hi

Any opinions appreciated. For the first time I need to replace the
rear tyre on my Fazer. I find the whole tyre thing a complex web of
confusion.

It came (second hand) with a Dunlop 207 (160/60 17) - which I
understand is the factory tyre.

I'm inclined to just get the same unless anyone particularly
recommends another tyre. I don't zoom around with my knee down so no
need for a super sticky tyre, however, I am willing to trade tyre life
for better grip so perhaps something in the middle is what I'm after.

Also, can anyone recommend a fitting service in the vicinity of
Southapton? (drive-in drive out preferred) and a guess as to how much
it might cost. I would prefer not to remove the wheel myself but this
is through lazyness rather than inability so I would do if it would
make life easier/significantly cheaper.

cheers
Darren

 

Avon Azaro AV46ST.

It'll do grip and long life better than any tyre I can think of.

And it's not expensive.

And they do them at that place in Coleshill.

 

Just realised, you're not the Darren Lewis I was thinking of, you're the
other one.

Forget the Coleshill supplier.

 

Daz says...

I was confused too, he was saying things like "I _don't_ get my knee down on
the fazer"

 

Wot he said, although I have BT010s on mine because they got the order
wrong.
