    Any recommended tyres for this?
    I do not care much for the Michelin but I used to like the BT020's on
    the ZR7S.

    Here's a thought... 020's might still be quite good....

    Yes they are, I still have them on the ZR7S.
    What I hear, is that certain tyres (020's) do not suit certain bikes.
    Is that right?

    If any wobbles are found in this post, it is due to Oranjeboon 1/2
    price at the moment. Hic

    Alot of folk here are swopping their 020s for Avon AV45/46STs. I did and
    I'm much happier with them on my ZZR than I was with 020s.

    That's more the reply I expected, are the Avons recommended for the
    Blackbird as well?
    The Avons are (marginally) cheaper too

    That'll do me. Thanks a lot. I will try the rear tyre first, then the
    front when that is due.
    Cheers, and merry chrimbo.

    Oooh, need a new rear fairly soon, and I *was* going to get an 020...

    Assuming I'm reading this right, what's the difference between the 45s and
    46s then? Apart from 1 :)

    One is a front pattern, the other for the rear. You fit a 45 and a 46,
    not a pair of either.

    AV45ST is the front tyre, AV46ST is the rear - but they are both the
    same range and model, IYSWIM. Avon always seem to do the sequential
    numbering thing with their tyres odd numbers for for fronts and even for
    rears, dunno why.
