BeastieSSSC Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) im going to need a new pair. a lot of highway miles, with basic turning and corning since i use my bike for class to osu everyday. What is a good tire that will last but will also have so fun when i go for cruises? Pirelli diablo corsa/diablo/rosso'? metezler? bridgestone? dunlop? this is my first year riding so im not too sure which direction to go. thanks!!!Tommy Edited August 6, 2010 by BeastieSSSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboglock Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I just got some dunlop Q2's like them so far and iron pony has a good price on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Q2s will be lucky to get 3K miles out of them and the center will be square in no time. go for the Dunlop Roadsmarts. Sticky on the sides for twisty fun and harder in the center for extended mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohdaho Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 My Dunlop Roadsmart is going on close to 6000 miles and its barely starting to square off at the top. Its been a phenomenal tire for me. Great in the turns and durable.http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/28/396/13124/ITEM/Dunlop-Roadsmart-Sport-Touring-Rear-Tire.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I had the Road Smarts and I'm on the Pilot Road 2 now. I say go for the Pilot Road 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost1888 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Check out the conti road attacks also they have been getting good reviews and are around 200 a set.I got just under 10k on my last RA and only changed to try a different tire that was $10 more which was a Roadsmart. I wanted a Pilot Road 2 but everywhere I looked the 160 was back ordered for 2 months. Might not be an issue for a 180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco1 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I've got a Pilot Road 2ct on the EX with 6K and it has a lot of life left on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennettR32 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Just bought a Pilot Power 2ct for my 07 GSXR 600 I bought the rear for $137.95 at McCune Cycle World in Mansfield. Took the rim and tire off the bike (5 Min process) took it in to them and had it changed in 5 min and cost $20 to change and balance.

You definitely don't need a pilot power...much less a 2Ct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Pirelli angel ST, or diablo strada if you can still find your size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
