So I wanted to see what you guys had to say about tires on the Hurricane... I put the 2ct's on a few weeks ago and they are about shot. I have never lit the rear up but i do accelerate like a bat outa hell and I also have a tendency to race to the next red light when riding. I am down to barley any tread left in the center of the tire. I love the twisties, but also treat my bike as a daily driver and am up for ideas on a tire with a harder center but yet a very soft side. Any suggestions?

 

I've had a set of Pirelli Angel ST tires since the beginning of the season and got about 6k miles out of them. I'm going back to Michelin Pilot Road tires. I just like the feel I get from them better.

 

+1!!

Pilot Road2s for me. Great grip and feel in wet or dry and seem to last too. There's nothing more I could want from my tyres. This is one of the staple topics around here and there's been lots of debate (almost a mass-debate in fact) hit the search tab for several days of reading.

I think the general feeling is that if you stick to well established brands with a bit of race tyre experience, since the R&D filters down to road bikes, you can't go too far wrong. Most people seem to find a tyre that suits them and stick to them. Everyone will tell you that their brand is best (only the guys with PR2s are right though ). Happy reading

 

I have Avon storm ultra2, love them up to now, great grip , never lean that much with my bt021, and also they make the bike feel quxiker in steerring, i have a 180 ain the back and a 120 up front, and in the wet wow! and on top they are cheaper than the rest, I had a comparison test in bike a year ago and they are all about equal it is a matter of feeling and taste.

 

This is my second season on a set of BS BT016's They're a step up in performance from BT021/023's. The rear has a triple compound tread (5 bands) while the front is duel compound (3 bands) The harder centers seem to be giving good wear. With over 6k miles on them the front center tread is 7/64" rear center 11/64" Unfortunately I didn't measre the tread when new.
They stick well in the corners. That's all that matters to me.

 

A few weeks ago? Mine last 5-7K miles. What pressure are you running in the 2CTs?

The Pilot Road2 probably be better for you, though.

 

Continental road attacks on my bike, that's all i ever use. Great in all weathers and excellent handling. Get good millage out of these too..

 

Michelin Pilot Roads for me. I dont ride that aggressive other than some straight line acceleration and just want a lot of miles out of mine. They have about 6,000 miles on them now and I should get 10-12k out of them.

 

Michelin PR2 for me , about to change the front as the sides are almost bald(in fact the right side IS bald!! ) but centre still has plenty of tread.

If you dare try these and let me know how they are

Link's bad, Hawkman. (unless it's just me?)

I'm running the PR2s also. Love them so far. They're quiet, grip great, handle great in the rain, and still look new with 3k miles.
