Default Tires, help

Im about to order some new tires, like really soon. Pilot Powers, or the Continental road attack? I need opinions, and fast. I have read the past reviews on here about the contiroad attacks, but everyone I know that rides say to get the pilot powers.

Thanks for your response. I will consider. Those conti sports have the hottest tread pattern ever though. Of course I would rather have a more stable, smoother, stickier tire, than just looks, but Im just not sure. Im waiting for someone to reply that has witnessed both

I have used neither, but have used Qualifiers on my 900RR and they worked great, although it produced a bit of a head shake. The Powers, my neighbor runs them on his R1 and likes em, they sure seem to stick good for him as touches a slider down. The Diablos, haven't tried them, but the Diablo Corsa...........mmmmmmmm Good tire. Not going to last the longest on the street but one HELL of a track day/street tire. GOOD choice IMO!! Probably cant go wrong with any of those. I personally also dont consider the Conti in the same realm as the above tires. Good luck.

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa... #1!

Pilot powers are grippy and predictable as HELL!

Dunlop Qualifiers are retarded SUPER GRIPPY.

Metzler M3's are real nice too...


In order I would say, Pirelli, Dunlop, Michelin, then Metzler. And I know grip because I and RELIANT on it when I'm practicing stoppies and stunting in the wet or cold.

Good luck! (GET THE PIRELLIS!!)

The Super Corsa is a bit excessive for anything but a fast (very fast) rider on a track. Not what I would recommend for a street tire, it takes too much heat to make it work. The Corsa is a much better choice for the street and track and just for the street the PP's or regular Diablos will be fine.

regualr diablos are 70% street 30% track.. great for street and maybe once or twice on a track .. if u want a super sticky for the street and track get the corsa.. the super corsa.. ya is a track tire unless u ride very hard on the street
