Quick hello, and any recommendations?
 

Just snapped up a lovely 954 rr3 and this thing blows my old daytona600 straight out the water .great bike. Any recommendations on tyre choice for this bike? current are bt 014 with a 180 on the rear should i switch to a 190?
Also are these early 2000 blades any comparison to the ones from around 2008 onwards?

pilot powers... i really stand by them. great performance, great in the wet, not that expensive. just a great all around street tire.

i currently am running pirelli rosso's - and i wouldn't recomend them to anyone! they're alright in the dry, but, absolutely useless in the wet. i've almost high-sided twice and actually lost the rear and went down (low side) once already in the first 1000 miles - all in the wet, riding cautiously on the street coming home from work. i just can't wait to use them up and get rid of them.


i run 190's on the 954... its the stock size. some people swear by the 180's, but i don't

Thanks , a pal of mine was just saying today how he cant wait to get the pirelli rosso off his R6.

Same here. I've done more drifting with my Rosso's then I've wanted to. The next tire I put on the bike will be Dunlop Q2's or Pilot Power 2CT's.

I have run Corsa3's and 2ct only until........wait for it......wait.....Pilot Pures! They are simply incredible! They are a little touchy about air pressure. Once you find your zone. You wont look back! I also advise 190 for your rear. Even better.... try out a 55 rather than a 50! Turn in is awesome. I will run a 55 on the street forever now!

Cheers all for the heads up on the pilots, was gonna go for avon storms next? not sure why? think ill probly go with the 190 0n the rear now too.

Continental Attacks.....

I really like my BT016. I accidentally got the 190/55 rear on an auction because I didn't ready the description thoroughly. It does turn-in better than the stock 190/50, but the added rear ride height I didn't care for as much, because its makes me slide forward on the seat into the gas tank. But yes, it is a good match for the 954.

Your Man Berries have never had soooo much fun!!!! Dont deny it........

Maybe this will help.

Thanks for the link watched the vid and with the posts on here i am going to go with the pilot powers with a 190 55 rear . Thanks

Excellent choice! You wont regret it.

Are you going with the regular Pilot Power or 2CT? The 190/55 will raise the rear ride height. I would run the 190/50 on the first set of tires then switch later if you feel the need. Unless you use every bit of the tire to the very edge the regular PP will save you some money. The softer compound of the 2CT is very small about 1/2in from the egdes. The center of the PP & PP 2CT are the same compound.


Wonder why they didn't include the Power Pure in that tire test instead of the Power Ones?

I just put on PP 2 CT,I went with 190/55.I will be going to Infineon Raceway in a couple of weeks and we'll see how they hold up.

hmm i was gonna get the 2CT but if it saves me cash to get the regulars ill probably go with those as my riding isnt that advanced , my current tyre is a bridgestone 180 55 which im finding leaning in really good as appossed to the 180 50 on my old daytona which is renound for its good handling so im a bit unsure whether its the tyre or the Bike? Enjoying the learning curve ha ha.
