Default Which tire? ( Bridgestone T30, Michelin Power,, or Dunlop GPR300)

Which tires will be the best option for my CBR600F4i? ( Bridgestone T30, Michelin Power, or Dunlop GPR300). I don't ride aggressively.

That is one of the "eternal questions", along with "Which oil should I use?" Everyone has a different opinion and experience. Your idea of aggressive riding may be very different from mine.

I'm currently on my second set of Dunlop Q3+s. I got just over 5k on the first set and will likely get about the same from the current set. I was pleased and, in a forum discussion, mentioned this. Another poster was incredulous that I only got that much mileage and noted that he was getting close to 10k from his. Read some tire reviews and you'll see the same thing, i.e. varied experiences all over the place.

I'd say to pick one whose reviews seem to best match how you ride and go with it. If you don't like 'em, you can always try to sell them and buy something else...

Thanks for your feedback and that makes sense. I opted for the Bridgestone T30s. I ended up needing front brake pads and the shop didn't have them in stock so I won't get to see what the tires are like until next week.

I've enjoyed the ride so far. My rides thus far have been around the city, but next weekend I will ride further out where I can drive faster and will encounter more curves.
