i have metzlers. came with the bike.. and i dont know how to rate the tire ha, its held the corners(not much only 2 turns by my house i can really lean it over) decent in the rain, but ive never gone over 50mph in the rain.
it broke loose on me only once the ground was kind of damp still and i got on it a bit too much in first only got a small rear end shimmy

 

I have the dunlop sportmax that came on the bike from new. The rear end has slid out on me on a couple of occasions, both times while turning left, but not so bad that it scared the crap out of me. These tires are lasting! I have nearly 7k km on them now and the flat ridge has only just become noticeable. It seems wasteful to replace them before they need to be but I really can't wait to buy some pp's or diablos.

 

Oh, as far as rain goes with Pilot Powers, last weekend I made a trip to maryland and it rained halfway there, and I still did 80+ with no problem.

 

where did you go in MD? in my neck of the woods, lol. thats rare on here, not too many MD riders at ALL! (OR anyone in the neighborhood, lol)

 

Oh **** you're in MD bro? Uhm, I chilling in the College Park area for friday and saturday, and sunday I went in PG county, down near bottom of 495. I'm actually coming back to MD this weekend, where are you at in maryland? Another guy in MD is um Candymanmo06F4I lol. We should get together sometime and ride.

 

pm'd ya. im ALWAYS willing to meet up w/ some people off here.

 

college park...muahahhaha...has some crappy roads from what i remember!

slip...strada is more of a sport touring tire but still have good grip...diablo is the 70 street/30 track tire, corsa is the 30 street/ 70 track tire. then you get to the supercorsas, etc...

i ride hard at the track and even the diablos have held just great! corsas...oh...now that's something else...i haven't had the need to go any higher since i'm slow. i'm not sure if corsa IIIs are dual or not though.

 

Oh sweet, thanks a lot Tahoe for shedding light on all of that... and yeah, CP roads not ftw =[ lol

You live around MD/VA area?

I'm getting a set of dragon EVO take offs from a friend. we'll see how those work out on the streetbike. does feel like a waste flatspotting SCP's on the street.

seems like enough guys use the SCP to keep a pretty healthy supply of good condition take-offs around. and tigershark has em for reasonable prices too...

i do have to get rid of the michelin men on my track bike though :P
