What would be a good replacement rear tire for a 2000 CBR 600F4? I live in Ohio, so I will probably get caught in the rain a couple times. I just need something that will perform well and not break the bank. Thanks, Mark

 

Michelin Pilot Powers

They are supposed to be coming out with some dual compound PP's as well.

Pilot Powers or the Dunlop Qualifiers (heard good things about the dunlops)

 

Metzeler Sportech M-1's for modest prices, good treadlife, good dry and wet weather performance. Not as sport oriented as the PP or Qualifiers. But very close to Pirelli Diablos.

The one that matches your front tire.

PP &gt; Diablo &gt; M1 (from my experience)

Street tires on his GP bike

"I could waffle on about the cunning use of different compounds in the new Michelin Pilot Power 2CT, but there is one testimony that will speak more eloquently. Yamaha rider Colin Edwards stuck a random (I witnessed the random-ness) pair of these road tyres on his YZR M1 at Sepang and did five laps on them, with a best of 2-12, which was about eight seconds slower than his best race lap at the circuit in 2005.
Sure the tyre was spinning up in places and Yamaha softened the power on his bike (maybe down to 235bhp?) but Edwards wasn't exactly pushing hard so close to the season. “If we did more work on the set up and suspension I reckon a 2-10 would be quite easy,” said the affable Texan.
The Power 2CT is based on the standard Pilot Power carcass and sidewall, but with two compounds on each tyre. Which is to say 20 per cent softer (grippier) rubber on the shoulders of the front and rear, with different compounds in the central belt.
Oh and if you are wondering what kind of state the tyres Edwards' tortured looked like – well, they looked like they had been well scrubbed in. No chunking, no de-lamination, no nothing. Amazing.
Michelin claims you can lean a road bike shod with these tyres to 51.8 degrees rather than 55 degrees like a MotoGP slick. I would love to tell you that I achieved this, but the rain came on and put an end to further track-based shenanigans. But, given Edwards' performance, what can I tell you?"

 

Shinko 190 stealth tire...

Oh wait...rain??? corners??? Ahahaha, nevermind....

 

Whatever tire you get, make sure the front is the same as the back. You dont wanna be running a different front and back tire if you drive the bike hard at all.
