    What's out there that fits a 3LN and are not Bridgestone BT-45s?

    Bridgestone BT-45 (hard'ish compound... good for freeways but tends to get chewed quickly when stressed)
    Bridgestone BT-39 (softer compound, good for higher stress but tends to flatten out on freeway riding)
    Dunlop Arrowmax (overall good tyre, slightly stickier than BT45 IMO)
    Michelin Pilot Activ (good for freeways and commuting, not so great for stressing them out as they're quite a solid compound)

    What have you got against the BT45's?

    That's what's on it at the moment. I had BT45s on my FZ750... They were OK I suppose... I'm just looking for options.

    I want to use the bike as a back lane scratcher. I've got a car for motorways and a FZR1000R EXUP for fast primary roads.

    So I want sticky and never mind the mileage/flattening out.

    I'm in UK, so I'm not sure if we get those tyres you've listed but I'll have a look.

    Well perhaps see if you can get the BT-39's or one of the softer compounds still.
    The other tyre that i completely forgot about that would be pretty good for you is the Dunlop GPR70. Nice and sticky and alright life out of them. I think there's even a stickier version than the GPR70.
