a buddy said he can get me a mich pilot for 120$ but no word back from him if its a "pure" or what model...

The ones i have on my f4i NOW are 180-55-17 mich,pilot power....i think imma just order one online somewhere, need to look for best deal. Local place will install for $10 if its of bike already..

any one know the difference from regular michilin pilot power to the 2CT powers??

pilot powers are a single compound across the tread surface...while pilot power 2ct's have a slightly harder center compound with a softer compound on the edges.

I have the Pirelli Diablo II tires on my f4i, im loving them, they stick like crazy. The guy at the shop mentioned that they did last a lot longer than the other tires he was showing me but i forgot how much more miles they last. hope this helps

+1 on the conti motions... I scored a set for $155 after tax for both front and rear. Sure its a touring tire but it grips.

I did a track day at Carolinas Motorsports Park with a group called Turn One Motorsports and I had plenty of knee dragging fun. I only had the rear let loose a few times but that was only when I was trying to find the limits of the tire and I was trying to run my normal track pace. Obviously these aren't track tires but after finding the limits of them on the track there is NO WAY you will out ride these on the street.

Plus Ive used these in hurricane like storms and they siphon water pretty well. Actually had someone video me because they thought i was nuts riding in the storms we've had recently in NC.

So after 1 track day, about 5000 miles later, they still look about like they got 80% life left. Most those miles are commuting interstate and they havent even flat spotted yet.

Well there's my mini review lol, Wrote more than I planned but oh well. Great tires for cheap!

Thanks for the info guys, i ended up going with the pilot powers....123 shipped to my door
