I was just wondering what everyone prefers for brand and style of tire they recomend for there 900rr/ or and bike for that matter.
**Im no cheap *** when it comes to safety**

....Im leaning towards the Pilot Power or pirelli stada....

 

i just asked the same question about a week or two ago ... Everyone on here said to go with the new mich.. pilot powers and guess what??????? MAN THEY WHERE FRIGGIN RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

any reason why you like them so much?

Im looking for responsive cornering and great balance.

thanks for your reply.

 

I may have a bigger problem now. my bike is set up for : 180 55zr17-rear tire they make pilot powers for
130 70zr16-front tire offer no pilot powers for.

i would like to keep both tires matching and prefferably the same as stock sizes go.

 

Ive allways run dunlop's but the new mich.. just feel better the corner great the heatup quick and i hear the wear is pretty good too the middle of the tire is alittle harder then the sides so you get better life and better grip in the turns i gota say i just like the i ride around a lake to go to work every morning and when i toss it side to side i dont get that littlewobble i used to get from the dunlop's... butdont take my word for it wait and see more people will come in here and say the same thing....

 

well sorry about that the first thing i did to my 900 was lose the stock 16inch front gave me a ton of more tire options and it rides much better........as for 16inch tires i have no idea..sorry

 

Pirelli Diablo's... Thats my prefered tire. And as far as I know they still make em in the 16 front rim size. Safe riding

 

I'm not sure you'll be able to find the regular Diablos anymore but yes they are a good tire. Run the Dunlop Qualifiers. They are a good tire and available in the 16" front. Had them on my 900RR and it was very nicely set up with them on it.

 

Go with the the Dunlop qualifiers they are a great tire and last longer than the pilot power

 

What 17in front did you use and was it a straight swap or did you have to modify a lot of stuff?
