what tires are you guys running. i nee dto buy a new set for next season . i run a 190 in the rear. let see some opions. thanks guys jim

 

I never ran them but there is a company call continental that I used to think were just cheap tires for slow bikes. While out riding about a week ago I ran into some other riders, and one of them was using one called an ATTACK. Its some new tire they just started making I guess and he said he loved it. So of course I had to check the chicken strips on it to see what kind of rider he was and there were none. So I guess there probably prettey good, oh yeah it was on a kaw 900. I personally run BATTLAX, bridgestone. they work for me quite well in the twisties.

 

Metzeler M1s. I think they're better than the OEM Bridgetsones.

 

i have dunlops i like them i dunno though

 

I have a Shinko on the back and if corners are your thing I dont suggest this tire. The Dunlop Qualifier is great in the twistys but on my 1000rr with all the wheelies it only lasted around two mounths before the cords were showing. The Shinko was only 100 bucks too.

 

I run Pirelli Diablo's. They seem to work very nicely.

 

Metzeler Rennsports. Brilliant, I use a 180 rear and the front is a 17" but I highly recommend them.

 

Had the BT-56's when I got my bike, replaced them with the same but never felt good. The front never seemed to want to hold, and the feedback was garbage. Used 208ZR's after that and they were great. Awsome traction (for what they are) at the track and good street life. Then got Qualifiers. TONS better than anything ive ever used. Feedback is superb, grip...........unreal. They even last quite a while. I probably have around 3500 miles on these and very little squaring on the rear, 1700 of those were a few weeks back on a trip to the Black Hills. 1100 of which was a freeway drone. Good rain grip also. As it rained the WHOLE way out there.
