The Yamaha Tricker comes with the Bridgestone TW201 front and the TW202 rear. I am about to replace the rear tyre after close to 8000 km. Use has been 15% off- and 85% on-road. I experienced a great grip on all sorts of paved roads. Cornering is really fantastic. A little less grip on off-road surfaces. This however makes sliding more easy (and fun).
Front tyre still in good shape, should hold (safely) upto twice the lifetime of the rear tyre.
For the YAM XT660X supermoto the best tyre in my view to put on these bikes is the Avon Distanzia tyre, as it is excellent in the wet and even better in the dry. Plus, you get the added bonus of 4000+ miles of life in one.
Furthermore, the team at mynetmoto.com sorted my tyre out and shipped it to the UK within 24 hours approx, delivered direct to my door.
I have had supermoto's for many years, and whcih ever bike i have had, be it a KTM, YAM etc i will only ever use the Avon Distanzia.
I have done the California Superbike School levels 1 - 3 on 3 different R1's, Level 1 on the Michelin Pilot Power - good grip level on an '03 R1, level 2 on my '05 R1 with Dunlop 208's (Original Equipment) - total lack of feedback from the rear tyre - not a good feeling. The level 3 was done on the 2CT's and the difference was substantial. The tyres felt planted to the tarmac all day; even with some over ambitious (for my part) braking and late corner entries on my R1 SP. On the open road you straight away feel better in the corners; the feel of the bike is sure, very little in the way of meandering due to momentary lack of grip due to poor adhesion. This I believe is mainly down to the synthetic construction of the tyre compared to others. What is most noticeable when you come back from a fast ride is that the 2CT's don't appear to go through a heat cycle like the Dunlop 208's and the Pirelli Corsa's. Often you will see on those tyres a blue-ing effect on the outer 30% of each side and this appears to reduce the adhesion of the tyre when at full lean (One of the guys at CSS advised me to bin the 208's prior to a school due to the relative performance characteristics of the 208's compared to the 2CT's) I'm not knocking the other tyres but given a choice I'll ride on 2CT's all the time until Michelin or others improve on them.
