[FireFly]

Looking at getting a new set of street tires soon. Can u guys give any suggestions. I got stock bridgestones on the bike now and was thinking about gettin pilot sports.
PS looking for tires that will last for a while under normal street riding conditions with the occassional Beat down

the way you ride, you can get at LEAST 5k miles out of a set of pilot powers.... you shoulda jumped on the Power 2CT group buy.

The way he "rides"? Did you mean the way he worries and takes his bike apart he could get 5 years out of a set?

Pretty much any set you get should last forever. A tire that never moves will never really get much tread wear.

The Sports are no longer produced except in HPX and they are very expensive.

In Michelin, Pilot Power or Pilot Road. In Conti, Road Attack or Sport Attack.

I'm not sure what type of riding you do but i like my dunlop qualifiers alot. I've put ~4k on mine already and ride on them daily, rain/shine and done one track day with them and no complaints.

Stickier tires like the pilot power will put a lot more stress on your clutch and will cause wheelies when least expecting it which will ruin your forks when you set it down causing baby Jesus to cry...

More seriously, any modern tire will suit you just fine.

What am I doing wrong? I'm lucky to get 6000 miles out of ST tires and I ride like an old lady. Must be all the stop and go on my commute.
