I run Michelin Pilot Powers. Great overall tire. Good grip, and they last. You cant go wrong with these.

Yeah, I ran pilot powers on my ninja, and I run them on the F3 as well. Best tire IMO.

The Pilot Powers are a great tire. I know a few people that run them and they love ‘em. I however just got a set of Dunlop Qualifers yesterday. I have heard good things about these but don’t have any of my own opinons yet.

I think either of these two tires would be a good choice and probably your best choice.

My cousin's 06' r6 comes with the 120/70 180 dunlop qualifiers stock. and they ride nice question is are they rated better than the 207 or 208s?

the qualifiers are the newest version of the D208's. Much better compound than the 207 and 208's.

yeah i got the older generation dunlops right now, was going to upgrade to qualifiers but you can find some 208's for good prices online as people are getting rid of their stock. You can get a 120 front and 160 back set of 208's for $89 a piece @ 1888fastlaps site.
