first off its a 01 f4i. these are the tires that came with the bike when i bought it. the front is a 120/70zr17 dunlop sportmax. its about worn. the back is a 180/55zr17 michelin pilot. it too is about worn. i called my buddy i bought the bike off of and he said the tires only have about 2000 miles on them. he said they are worn becuase they are a super soft compound, and becuase i do too much back and forth driving. well, thats what i bought it for, to get around on. not necessesarily to hammer thru corners with 24/7. whats some good tires i can get for this bike that will hold up better than these super soft compounds that are on there now? more geared towards commuting i guess....i dont like these flat spots that are starting to form

 

what are you considering worn... pics of said tires plz...

 

michelin pilot powers

ick just got a rear dunlop qualifier; im going with pilot powers. rguy got metzler (?) m3's.

all are good. take your pick. (pilot powers)

 

Pirelli Diablos
Dunlop Qualifiers

 

i will get pics when the batteries are done charging. the back one has a significant flat spot in the middle, and the front was worn up to the wear bars

 

flat spots aren't an issue. having 0 tread is... lets see some pics...

 

Flat spots will get you in trouble if you tip the bike over for turns. It will be a real hard transition when you're straight up and down, and all of a sudden the bike tips into the turn (when you lean it).

 

Shinko FTW

 

are they to the wear bars yet?
