I like the City Grips on the XMax and holding up well, no squaring off on the rear etc, then again its gonna be a whole different ball game on a TMax...
May be worth getting a dual compound rear if mainly commuting...

Power Pures are only available in 17" AFAIK...

Watlings - but take in loose rims...

perfect timing for this thread.. the rear on my tmax is in need of a change. After my already documented rip off at a large central london dearler for the front tyre, any dealer suggestions for supply and fit in and around london? Oh and while I'm at it, I haven't seen too much comment on bridgestones.. I presume that on a cost vs wear basis.

Thanks all.

No I love Bridgestones on the TMax. I really got on well with the TH01s on the mk2 - immeasurably better than the Avon total dangerous shite that was on very briefly, and the BT011/12s on the mk3 are really sporty. My Tmax originally had the Dunlop alternatives on which were fine in the dry but gave little feel in the wet.
Damned expensive though....though the Dunlops are pricier!
I even like B.stone Hoops on the mk1....
