I've been very happy with my Toyo R888 Tyres for a very long time, but the ones I'm currently running on my two sets of Wheels, are all nearing the wear indicators, and they don't seem to be available any more.
The replacement Toyo R888R are out, as I will not fit Asymmetric Tyres, so I had a look in the Ariel Shop, and the Yokohama A052 are straight out also being Asymmetric, not that I was a fan of the older A048 ones when I had them.
Any way, as I drive all year round, doing only a couple of Track Days each year so mainly on the road driving, that also rules out the Avon ZZR.
Of the two left in the Ariel Shop, the Yokohama AD08RS and the Kumho V70A, are also out for me, as neither fit in with my expectations of how my Atom looks with the CF Wings.
That just leaves the Avon ZZS, which I might just try on one of my sets of wheels to see how they look and perform.
The only other tyres I've considered, was ones recommended by my local friendly Tyre Supplier, which are the Nankang NS-2R tyre.
He says that he's had good reports about them, and as I've known him for over 30 years, with him running two bikes in the British Superbike Championship, plus another two bikes in lower classes & the TT a few years ago, I trust his opinion on tyres implicitly, but once again, I don't think they fit in with my expectations of how my Atom looks, so it's back to the Avon ZZS for me I think.
The Nankang NS-2R tyres may, however, be a possibility for other Atom Owners to consider.
