I have a 04 600CBR F4i and I need to tires. whats reccommended. I don't hit the track. Street use only. So I want the best in stickyness and durability. I had ther Metzler M1's and got about 5k miles out of them. The rear prob would have lasted longer but i felt the urge to produce that white smoke on an occasion or two. Won't do that again. [:@] So you reccomendations. I would like to get this done by the weekend. I want to get back out on it.

 

now you say street use are you doing alot of freeway commuting or staright line riding only or do you mix it up with straights and turns ? ive always had great experience with pilot powers but the dunlop qulaifiers kick *** !

 

I'd go with thePilot Powers...goingback to thoseon my next set. I don't like the dunlops...they dont like sticking to the road as much as the pp's IMO.

 

street being mostly commuting. I try to get out on rides and lean into them. I am just starting to get better at that, So I need a tire that is going to make me feel confident in that. I don't really car about price...not rich or anything, but those are only 2 tires i can depend on and if they are the best then i don't mind spending the extra green

 

on my 929 i actually felt a night and day difference once i switched from the PP's to the qualifiers .. i seriosuly could almost drag a knee they stuck so well .. im sure the tire would've held just me being a "safe and conservative rider on the street and saving my knee dragging for the track[sm=devilangel.gif]"

 

Well, i am hearing a lot of good stuff from this one and BORN website. I am going to go with the qualifiers. I will hit them up on sale next week. Thanks guys

 

don't rule out diablos...

 

I've got regular diablos and theres this sweat *** turn next to my house. Lets just say I have 1/2inch chicken strips on them.

 

I agree completely. Many people don't like Qualifier's, but I honestly love them. They're sticky and don't take long to warm up and they don't have to pay with your leg and arm.
