New tires for CBR 600F4I 2001
 
Hey everyone,
I am looking at getting new tires for my bike and this is the first time I am getting tires. I bought my bike used and the tires needs to be changed. I am asking everyone for advice on what tires you recomend for my bike.

2CT's FTMFW!!!!
Seriously, they are the best tires I've tried. It feels like you could lean to the peg, crank the throttle wide open AND do a wheelie at the same time. Don't try that but do try the tires :)

first what kinda of riding are you doing? i have the corsaIII's there good but have a huge wear factor. im going with the stone 16's next to try them out, better tires more bang for your buck so i hear!

I at one point was lookin at tires too.

I feel like I should buy news ones cause the 01 I just picked up still has the stock OEM tires...they look good..but..they are still 7-8 years old

never heard of anyone that didn't recommend them

i run the pilot powers and never have had an issue or complaint about them.. my theory.. if something isn't broke don't fix it lol until the tires give me trouble i'll prolly stick with what i know..

I just put pilot powers on my bike this week and already love them.

It depends on the type of riding you want to do.

Normal city cruising, to and from work only type of stuff, get a decent road tire. Michelin Pilot Roads or something similar (I don't know enough tires off the top of my head to pull more names, but they're out there by all major brands).

Some city cruising, some higher speed stuff, some twisty action, get a stickier tire like the standard Michelin Pilot Power (or equivalent).

Some city, more higher speed and/or lots of twisties, get a nice sticky tire like the Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs (which is a dual compound - hard center, sticky sides).

I personally recommend Michelin tires, since that's what I've always used. Diablo I have heard good things about, same with Metzler. Stay away from Shinko (cheap for a reason).

Honestly, the best person to tell you what tire is best is yourself. Tell a knowledgeable person the type of riding you want to do, get the tire they recommend, and see how you like it. Tires have different qualities that will give different riding styles. For instance, a taller tire will dive into turn easier than a shorter tire. You just have to find the one you like.
