Hello, I need to put new tyres on my Bullet 2006. Do you have any recommendations which should I put on? I'll be riding mostly on asphalt roads. Are dunlop k70 tyres meant more for use on gravel roads? Any other tyres that would you recommend or are dunlop k70 good choice?

I use K70 tyres on my 2005 500 ES. They are road tyres and I find them excellent.

I use K81 (TT100) Find them very good.

Forgot to say, the bike's a year 2000 Bullet 500cc.

I have K81s on. Good all round tyre and look the part.

Avon Roadriders. Superb tyre for this time of year and even for when it's dry and sunny.

Dunlop K82, which is a modern tyre with the TT100 tread pattern. K70 are also excellent but like the K81 are quite soft compound. It's a trade off between superb roadholding and fewer miles on a softer tyre and something like an Avon SM Skidmaster which will last for years but is the equivalent of a metal tyre on a wooden wheel!

I've got to agree with the other TT100 users. They improved the handling on my EFi/Woodsman.

Just another vote for TT100s on road or light rough very good..and pretty too ;0)

Yep used to scorn TT100's in the past. They would always be on old bikes I would buy with tons of tread but worn in a strange triangular profile and hard as the hobs of hades. The new ones with modern soft compound are superb. They look the part and I've discovered that my footpegs appear to be too long now.
