Hello CBR owners/lovers,

its my first post on your forum and say a big hello from Greece !

i own a cbr600rr 07 and a cbr600 F2.

I know well what tires i need for my 07, but i am unsure of the F2 to be honest. So the problem is that i found so many tires and i dont know which one i need/want...

Ok so lets start to help you a bit with my choice. I want to give something like 200Euro (front/rear). I dont need to go to a two compound tire as i want to keep the price low.
Furthermore i dont want a really soft tire (e.g Michelin Pilot Power)
In other words i want a tire to last like 7-10.000 kilometers.

Now i saw many tires that i am interested

Pirelli Diablo
Pirelli Diablo Corsa
Bridgestone BT014

So lets go to the questions

1) I have seen Diablo / Corsa and Diablo / Corsa E
what does that E stand for ?

2) What tire could you suggest me for this bike ?


PS. i wont go to track days with that bike, but need some decent control while leaning. I used to Dunlop Qualifiers (not the RR) on track days, they were kind of ok, but on the street i never felt confident at all.

Thank you in advance

 

Metzeler M3's, do a search, there are about 500 threads about this.

 

i know M3s are some good tires. i am unsure about two things on those tires. first about their milage ,and also i cant understand if they got 2 compounds or just a single one . meaning soft on the sides, medium in the middle.

 

PIRELLIS

cant go wrong

 

you must be kidding too general doesnt really help sorry

 

My personal experiences from what ive tried:

Bridgestone BT:
Great tires, good grip in both wet and dry, soft, wears fast.

Dunlop Roadsmart:
Good grip when warm (wet and dry), lasts long.
Can be unpredictable through cornes. Tyre have a tendency of slipping sideways.

Avon Storm & Viper:
Best tyre ive owned so far.
Awesome grip both wet and dry. Long lasting.

(not so scientific comparrison i guess, but those are just my personal subjective experiences).

 

M3's warm up quickly, have excellent grip in the cold and wet, and even better on hot pavement.

Long lasting tires also, if you're not doing burnouts or cooking them on track days.

 

Tire are just too subjective to give one answer. The biggest factor in how a tire feels on a bike is how the bikes suspension is setup and your riding style. Those 2 things vary for everyone and every bike.

Tire tech is great these days. It's hard to go wrong with any tire. I've ridden on just about every tire that exists and they are all good, once you dial the suspension in to match. Compounds and construction vary greatly from tire to tire. The trick is to find the right combo.

So my suggestion is to go find a tire that is round and black and makes you happy. It's your bike and your going to be riding it, so your opinion of the tire is all that counts. If you want something that will last a bit, then buy something made for 'sport-touring'.

 

Try searching next time and how is that too general?
How many companys are called PIRELLI?

 

yes!!
