Just curious what some other F3 riders are using...I went to the local shop today to get an appt. for a bunch of stuff, one of the things being new tires. I wanted the Michelin Pilot road 3s because they look like they have some insane grip dry and wet, but the guy suggested I get 2CT's because they are more for lighter street bikes, unlike the pilot road 3's that are made for heavier sport tourers.

I know nothing about tires other than the stuff I read online/youtube and that the ones on there now are completely bald and hardened rubber lol.

Any opinions? I know the mileage is better on the Pilot road 3s as well, but I'm not so concerned about that. I want a tire that I can ride hard and that will do well just going around town.

 

I can't give an opinion on pilot 3s vs the 2cts but I can say that unless you have some A group track experience you can get away with just about any tire on the street. I would go for cost and mileage. I used to run cheaper sport touring tires on my F2 and I rode as hard as I possibly knew how to on the street. They never slipped up once.

 

I use Dunlap but that's just because i have Dunlap decals all over the bike.

 

i had shinko 005's got like 6k on them with a few big burnouts few top speed runs and night at the drags and they still look pretty good. any they always felt pretty good. u can u get front and rear for around 160 shipped but this year i got a set of pilot powers to try out got the set for just under 200

 

I can get Shinko 005s for $141 or Pilot Powers for ~$180 from Jakewilson.

Decisions decisions...I'm not sure whether to save the $40, or go with a leading brand-name tire. I usually go with the "you get what you pay for" motto, especially when it comes to being safe on the road. But, rubber is rubber.

 

Get Q2's 190 bucks right now it's
The best bang for your buck!! Great over all preformance
I have even read people saying its better than the 2CT

 

Road Pilots have saved my *** many times... Best tyres ive had on it and I ride all weathers and the grip is insane!

 

where's the sale at?

 

I have Pilot power 2CT's! they are the best purchase for the bike I have ever done!!!!!!!!
SOOOOOO good But I hoped of some old hard Bridgestone Bt14. I have never had so much grip and confidence before they are expensive but well worth the price in my opinion.

 

Pilot roads 2 is what I bought. still need to throw them on the bike though.
