watch out on the PPs...word here is that in very high temps, they'll get mushy on your and slip through turns...how high of temps? well these are trackdays in BFE...like buttonwillow, big willow and streets of willow, pahrump...all WAY over 105 degree days...

 

i love the M1's my next tire im trying the M3's i only hear good abotu them

 

havent tried the metzlers but heard nothing but good things about them. but i reccomend using the michelin power pilot so far those are the stickiest and longest lasting tire i've ever bought but good luck man, out.......

 

Thanks for the help guys. Decided to go with the Pilot Powers....probably the best thing I've done to the bike next to frame sliders...and yes, the lean angles are ridiculous!

PS. Found them the cheapest at tireexpress.com ($235 + s/h for the pair)

 

i have always used 208s and the Q's but the pp beat them both. they are softer and corner even better.but you really can't go wrong with the top four tires.

 

what is the battlex tire like

 

Just put Pilot Powers on my baby about 600miles ago and i...LOVE 'EM!

 

definately.. i just got PP's like a month ago.. noticeably better than the dunlops i had before.. fantastic cornering grip

 

I'll have to suggest PP's also. I had Pilot Sports on there previously, and while they were a good tire, the Pilot Power's are pretty much like glue. Can't go wrong with them.

 

pilot power 2ct - are the way to go (dual compound, nice and sticky at the sides, hard enough to get to work and back on the middle)
