I'm just about done with my stock tires on my 05' 600RR, so I'm in the market for some good rubber. I've read up on the Pirelli Daiblo Corsas and the Michelin Pilot Powers, which both seem like excellent tires. Money is not really a problem, but I can't find any numbers on the longevity of the tire. I got about 4500 miles out of the stock tires (which held up well), and I figure about 4000 miles for a set of tires is sufficient. If you guys have any input on these tires (good/bad/ugly) or if you know of any other good alternatives that let me get a good lean and last a while, please feel free to chime in.

 

yeah the 208's lasted about 4500 miles on my 04 600rr. i replaced 'em with the dunlop qualifiers - very happy with 'em.

 

I heard Metzeler M-1's are good tires..I ordered mine from kneedraggers and it should be here in a week.

 

I have just about 8200 miles on my stocks and its time for new ones. Im gonna go with the qualifiers. Ive heard nothing but good things about them and I found a place to get them cheap. In fact they have all types of tires. If your interested, heres a link, www.MotoXoutlet.com

 

the corsas are not the same line as PP...corsas is mostly geared for track riding...so will not wear well.

do either diablos, pp, or qualifiers...or even the new m3s

 

I just bought M3's for mine and I love em. The M3's have a taller profile than the M1's I noticed a huge difference in cornering.

 

a guy i ride with (awesome rider) just got the m3's on his gixxer 1000 and he loves them. he was corning at some crazy lean angles the day he had them installed! can't really see the tires in the pic but thought i'd include one anyway

 

i have the qualifiers and they are nice.

 

what are m3's??(who are they made by)

 

Metezler makes the M1 and M3 they both are great tires...I have the M1 and love it. and they are really good on the price at kneedraggers.
