What tires do you run on your Seca 900?

    Well, I tried to find a similar thread with the "Search" option but I didin't have much success so here is a tire thread!!!

    Rear tire on my Seca is almost shot, the front one still has good thread but is fairly old (4 years), both are Spitfire 11's, tires that wouldn't perform great in the rain, if I remember properly.

    So what would be your suggestions of new tires for that bike?

    Thanks in advance!

    I've had Arrowmax's, never really trusted them for some reason used to run them years ago but they've changed them in some way.
    Running Pirelli sport demons now and I like them.
    One of my 900's has a 130 on the rear it does drop my revs at 100km/hr but I find it feels a little vague in the corners in comparison to to the recommended sizes.

    I'm very happy with the Michelin Pilot Activ's I installed at the beginning of last season. I was looking at the Spitfires, but bought the Michelin's for a better price from a local independant guy who services BMW bikes. He had them in stock, apparantly they also fit one of the BMW models.

    I used stock size front and rear.

    Thank you guys for your replies!

    I may end up keeping the Spitfire on the front wheel and putting a new tire on the rear wheel only, probably a SPitfire or a Dunlop 404. I don't want to put too much money on the Seca this year until I could tell if I like the riding position or not. I have long legs that bother me on most bikes!
