conn-e-rot Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The Diablo Stradas are working great for me I've got 4400 miles on the set and from the looks of the tires I think I've got about another 3-4k to go and have never had them slip awesome in the rain.

ninjascott Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) I got a new tire machine and would put em on cheap cause i need the practice(what ever you get). its a no scratch type. Just a warning about take offs (I'm a big fan of) make sure you inspect them before you buy them sometimes when taking them off they get the bead or seat torn which could cause a leak down the road.

DoughnuT Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 If you have the money to get the Pilot Powers, then get them. They last a decent amount of time as long as you use most of the tire. They grip great, and better than most in rain if you get caught in it. As far as tires to stay away from, anything with a harder compound, unless you do mainly freeway/highway ridding. Harder compounds and corners are not friends.Shinko is normally a softer tire, but most of the time they are terrible in rain from my information gathering. They are known for drag racing more than street. They would be like a Drag radial on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Softer on the sides for grip traction.Rated to 149mph+ Best prices I've found are at Iron Pony, mail order. See if there's someone local that will mount them for you. I pay a friend of mine $15.00 a wheel for mounting on an air assisted changer that has protected spoons. Avoids wheel scratchesI'm also running these , love them over the bt021 and pilots.got mine for $95/$131.. 120\190, from:http://www.sbcyclesonline.com/a GOOD (local) guy i'm in a group with. http://www.sportbikealliance.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting 275s on an 8" wheel of a car isn't nearly the same as fitting a 5 inch tire on a 3.5" Motorcycle wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Some people use car tires to get longer wear and a fatter profile. Chicks dig it too. And the handling is the tits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Pretty sure any loss of lean capability isn't due to the tire size in this situation. w00t!!Well, I didn't want to be mean about it.

RSVDon Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 So' date=' funny story... Lyns and I were taking our CCW class. I was wearing a standard fanboy Ducati shirt when we were approached by a friendly guy that claims to be from London, originally, and rode a Trumpet. We start yacking it up when the crowd of Harley owners starts to creap into view. I can tell they own HDs because they're all fat, stupid and wearing HD shit. Anyway... we get on the discussion of chaps and how ridiculously useless they are in a crash. Lyndse said that the reason chaps are so popular amongst the HD crowd is that Harley Davidson is the bike of choice for homosexuals in America. The Brit said he'd never heard that and asked just how many Harley owners are gay? Lyns replied, "Every last fucking one of them!" I thought I was going to be shot. It was funny and scary at the same time.[/quote'] EPIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just put Bridgeston BT016's on over this summer and have about 1.2K on them. I can BARELY see a change in wear pattern on the center, and that's only because I've been eying them. I'm sure you can find good deals on those out there.Tires, as you can see, are a hot topic, everyone has different tires for different riding types.
