I know opinions will vary but my bike has for 3 yrs and it needs new rubber. What tires are you guys running and why? I was thinking Pirelli's, Avon or Metzler.

 

I run Bridgestone BT-016's, and they're great. I don't think you can get a better tire without getting a DOT legal race tire. The Michelin's Pilot 2CTs are ok. Lots of people like them though. Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3's are much better than the Pilot 2CTs IMHO, but I can't afford them and don't run them. I didn't like them any better than my BT-016's but some people like them more.

 

I ran the bridgestones as well without any problems.

 

i just ordered a metezler m3. I had dunlop sportmax's on there - no good; tread wear and, traction sucks. I don't even think they make Sportmax's anymore.

 

You'll love the M3's

 

I ordered some Continental Road Attacks today. Should be here next week.

 

What tire width / aspect ratio did you order?

 

I know. I got them because that's the tires you recommend! :-D

 

Rear: 160/60/17
Front: 12/60/17

Just went with stock to keep the ride quality.

 

Metzeler M3!!!!

Good grip even in rain.
