Default RE: I don't want to start a tire war but....

I had the bridgstone bt015 standard on my 2006 CBR thou and they where pretty good....liked them cause even in the colder months they warmed up pretty quick on the street...wet were pretty good...they lasted bout 5000klms....

But then i needed new ones and they where not available in Australia....only as a OEM from factory with new bike...go figure?..

Anyway i was talked into getting Pilot Powers CT2 and they were meant to be the bomb...yes they made the bike turn in faster...but warm up was crap especially if you are riding in colder weather...didnt like them at all...1month later took them off and bought....

Perrilli Corsa Pros 120/70 front and 190/55 rear...turn in just as good as PP...But warm up is really really good...cold/hot doesn't matter they stick....This is now my third set and I love them... The only thing I dislike is that with all other tyres I didn't have any chicken strips but with the higher profile i find that Cause i only mainly ride on the street that I now have chicken stripss.....

does the 190/55-17 make the 1KRR a bit more flickable? How does the taller tire affect the speedo error? i have only been running the 190/50-17's

It is the equivalent of dropping two teeth on the rear.
