Are they the only tyres I can fit to the NC30.
Oh and what kind of miles can I expect.
Thanks

Re: What tyres for NC30
Thank you for the advice.
I'm looking to use the NC30 as my every day bike/fun bike and I'm going to go touring on the bike in June so am looking for a set of tyres that will last and be good for all weathers and varied terrain.
My current bikes (Bandit, Katana and Monster) have been shod with BT45, BT020, conti road attacks, diablo strada's and the current favourites Pirelli Diablos. I usually get around 10K from a set of tyres (no speed demon) so was looking at tyre choices.
