Another vote for the M3's. Love them.

 

How do you say Metezler? Meh tez ler? Mets ler? /shrug I have 1500+ Miles on my bike would it be a waste to get rid of my stock Dunlops and put on the PP or M3 to finish out the season? Or would it just be better to finish this season with the stock tires and then put fresh ones on next March?

what dunlops are you running?
208s i assume? i personally never had issues with that tire, except that it follows grooves on the highway. i worked that tire over many times at the track and didn't have any issues.
it all depends on your riding style and smoothness. people who don't have very smooth lines generally would require stickier tires to take up any inconsistencies in their lines or smoothness...but be nice and smooth and you'll be ok. now if you have the 207s...and want to do some good twists, i say toss them...although i almost dragged knee with 207s...scarriest thing to attempt to do...LOL...

 

Battlex are great tires. Was into raceing a couple of years ago and would use nothing else. My bike came with pirelli corsas but i'll put the battlexes on when thy wear out.

 

I still love my Pilot Powers. Only got about 3500 on the last rear tire, but I think I was running the pressure WAY too high and that contributed to eating the center out.

This rear has 1000 mi in it and just looks scrubbed in.

I have yet to experience any greasyness while running hard on backroads (high 90* temp). Granted that dosent even come close to track abuse, but on the street the tires will grip past what I have the ***** to commit to.

If you run smart on the street (slow in fast out) these will work awsome for you.

 

double post

 

what is it that makes the qualifiers such a good my freind just got them and they are great. Why is this? Is it in compound of or what.

 

Question??? I'm running the Michelin Pilot Sport... and according to some things I've heard....It is one of the best road tires you can buy.....so the question is once I'm ready for a new set should I get the Sports..OR the Powers...??? Also...high speed straight runs and slow in and fast out cornering about all I do...

I had the sports before my PP's, they were good tires, but they don't compare to the PP's. I am by no means anywhere near good, but I get my lean on and they want to keep going way past the point where I stop. I would highly recommend them, just watch where you get them b/c some websites are way more expensive than others.

 

Thanks for the info.... I went to the site mentioned earlier moto sumething and the Sports were more expensive than the Powers....whats up with that....
