What tires to get?

Well its about time to throw some new rubber on my f4i, what tires would be best for me? Its just a street ridden bike with a wheelie and aggressive turning here and there. Ive heard Perelli Diablos, Michelin Pilot Powers, and Metzlers were all some of the best, but which really is?

You may want to re-read the site rules IE the wheelie rule, to avoid getting unwanted answers

Aside from that Welcome to the board

and I love my pilot powers to death great grip and feel, incase you were wondering.

Pilot Powers all the way . I run them on the track and they are fantastic tires. I have a few friends who use them on the street and also love them.

Re: What tires to get?

welcome to the org. My 954 is equiped with Pilot Sports which hold very well, and I hear the Pilot Powers are even better yet. They will be my next set.

another vote for the Pilot Powers. I have 9500 miles on mine and I believe I have more than half the tread left.

Re: What tires to get?

I was going to put the Pilot's on because they are a great tire. Instead I put a pair of Diablo's on my SV after a set of Metz's, and I couldn't be happier. Great profile and grip. Doesn't seem like they are too popular around here, though.

Re: What tires to get?

don't get the wrong impression, I don't think a bad word has been said here about the Diablo's. Corsa's seem to be the choice though for that extra bit of grip over the regular Diablo's.

on the regular Diablo, but I put a Corsa back on. I want to try some Pilot Powers though. The RC might get some after Barber finishes the Pirelli's

I've also heard that the Metzler M1's are excellent.
