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.
