what tires do you guys use? street? track? stunt?

[Rabbit_Racer]

Shinkos for the street. Great for the money too because here in florida you are riding in a straight line for the most part so you need a good touring tire that gives you lots of miles at a cheap price. I buy em online and have gary of extreme custom sportbikes mount em. At $25 bucks which includes taking the old tire off you cant beat that.

Jbyrd likes Dunlop. Tried Continentals and will never go back.

i have the michelin pilot road 2's. and i will recommend these tires to ANYONE. they are honestly the best tire for the street hands down.

when i bout this bike i moved to daytona and would do weekend trips back down here every other weekend. thats 240miles down, around 200 while im here and 240miles back. so i was doing roughly 700+miles in a weekend. after 2 months and going through 1 brand new michelin pilot power and 1 brand new michelin power 2ct i changed up. pilot powers are great tires but IMO dont hold up for all these straight roads we have down here.

i put the Mich pilot road 2's on my bike at 10200miles. I now have 20125 on the odometer. you cant even tell if the tread has been broken in yet on the front and rear tires.

got a deal at this website. $300.00 for the front and rear shipped to my door.

sorry for the rant but i am super impressed with these tires and will not be putting anything else on any of my street bikes. unless its going to the drag strip then itll get a shinko 003 Ultra U soft.

those are the next tires im going to get...unless something better comes out when these roads finally wear out

yea I'm looking into the Pilots too. Is it true that they have a hard middle and soft side so that you don't end up getting a flat spot from riding street alot?

Just bought the pilot road 2 ct... Last week already put about 500 on em and you can't even tell they've been used

the 2cts have the same compound middle with a softer side

[HANS]

they have a 2ct pilot power and a 2ct pilot road2.

heres a pic of both of them to sort of break it down and give you more of an idea

this is the PILOT POWER 2CT





this is the PILOT ROAD 2CT

[Gear Head]

which one of the 2 are the most common?

[GT5000]

I like the Bridgestone BT016.

[HANS]

out of the two i posted the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT is more common among street riders. And im guessing becuase the Mich Pilot Road 2CT is advertised as a "sport touring" tire, and not a "performance" tire.
