Im just wondering what kinda tires you sportbikers are running>?

 

Well, if you call the 250 a sportbike as my insurance seems to want to do...

Dunlop K630 "Rim Savers". Responsive like a coma, but last just as long. Stock tires.

 

pilot powers

 

Metzeler M-1

 

Street - Metzeler Sportec M1
Track - Diablo Corsa (soon Supercorsas)

 

dunlop D208's I love them

Those tires are some of the worst on the market....cheap junk

Pilot Sports here...also soon to be replace with diablo's.

 

yeah thinking about getting some Metzeler M-1 or some Pilots for the coming season (street) know of any places offering good deals for front and rear combo?

me 2, my only complaint is that i have trouble with traction in cold weather riding. &lt;40
i don't do track days so they are fine for me...

 

My favorite street tires are bridgestone bt012's and metzelers m1's. Im going to try a set of pilot powers after these tires wear and see how they hold up.

 

I get about 700 miles more on my pilots more than the dunlops and the pilots warm up wayyy faster, all around better tires.

 

just mounted diablos last night, got them for great deal from flatout.

 

I'm currently running Pirelli Diablo Corsas. It's a great tire!!! I want to start pushing my rubbers harder on the track, so I'm looking into a DOT race tire when I get some tire warmers. The best candidate so far is the Dunflop JLB GP-A's.... good reviews and cheap prices.

 

Metzeler sportec m1 on my bike.

 

doing my 2nd run on dunlop 208's but thinking of trying something softer next, maybe the pilots

 

I had Dunlop 207s on my bike but just got a Metzeler Sportec M-1 on my rear. I like it a lot more than I thought I would, although Pirelli Diablos are still at the top of my list.

 

Bridgestone BT002R's.

 

You must have a lot of money or dont ride much to use race rubber on the street.

i had bt002-3's prior; nice tire but i wouldn't use them for mainly street again. ~1500 mile life.

 

Diablos now and they last forever. 2 trackdays + almost 2.5k miles and they still have at least 1000 more miles in them.

Next set of tires are going to be Pilot Powers and Rennsports/Super Corsas for the track

call up Slava from Flatout Motorsports

 

BT010's came on bike They're okay but are cupping. I'll finish them off in the spring and move on. Maybe get some diablos.

 

Youre right. I dont ride the street as much anymore. If/when I do its in the canyons. I'm going to try to hit the track again in a month.

 

M1 Sportec

For the price and mileage, you can't beat it.

I'm on my second rear, 1st front.
