Next set of tires

  

carmich132 -> Next set of tires (6/19/2006 10:20:03 PM)

I'm just about done with my stock tires on my 05' 600RR, so I'm in the market for some good rubber. I've read up on the Pirelli Daiblo Corsas and the Michelin Pilot Powers, which both seem like excellent tires. Money is not really a problem, but I can't find any numbers on the longevity of the tire. I got about 4500 miles out of the stock tires (which held up well), and I figure about 4000 miles for a set of tires is sufficient. If you guys have any input on these tires (good/bad/ugly) or if you know of any other good alternatives that let me get a good lean and last a while, please feel free to chime in.

yeah the 208's lasted about 4500 miles on my 04 600rr. i replaced 'em with the dunlop qualifiers - very happy with 'em.

I heard Metzeler M-1's are good tires..I ordered mine from kneedraggers and it should be here in a week.

I have just about 8200 miles on my stocks and its time for new ones. Im gonna go with the qualifiers. Ive heard nothing but good things about them and I found a place to get them cheap. In fact they have all types of tires. If your interested, heres a link, www.MotoXoutlet.com

the corsas are not the same line as PP...corsas is mostly geared for track riding...so will not wear well.

do either diablos, pp, or qualifiers...or even the new m3s

FordFrenzy97 -> RE: Next set of tires (6/20/2006 8:07:21 PM)

I just bought M3's for mine and I love em. The M3's have a taller profile than the M1's I noticed a huge difference in cornering.

cbr04 -> RE: Next set of tires (6/20/2006 8:42:30 PM)

a guy i ride with (awesome rider) just got the m3's on his gixxer 1000 and he loves them. he was corning at some crazy lean angles the day he had them installed! can't really see the tires in the pic but thought i'd include one anyway [;)]

i have the qualifiers and they are nice.

maxwell139 -> RE: Next set of tires (7/21/2006 2:36:25 PM)

what are m3's??(who are they made by)

ride_002000 -> RE: Next set of tires (7/21/2006 4:03:59 PM)

Metezler makes the M1 and M3 they both are great tires...I have the M1 and love it. and they are really good on the price at kneedraggers.

Tahoe SC -> RE: Next set of tires (7/21/2006 7:05:11 PM)

watch out on the PPs...word here is that in very high temps, they'll get mushy on your and slip through turns...how high of temps? well these are trackdays in BFE...like buttonwillow, big willow and streets of willow, pahrump...all WAY over 105 degree days...

PitbullF4i -> RE: Next set of tires (7/23/2006 9:34:58 PM)

i love the M1's my next tire im trying the M3's i only hear good abotu them

speed demon -> RE: Next set of tires (7/24/2006 11:29:30 AM)

havent tried the metzlers but heard nothing but good things about them. but i reccomend using the michelin power pilot so far those are the stickiest and longest lasting tire i've ever bought but good luck man, out.......

carmich132 -> RE: Next set of tires (7/25/2006 9:34:50 PM)

Thanks for the help guys. Decided to go with the Pilot Powers....probably the best thing I've done to the bike next to frame sliders...and yes, the lean angles are ridiculous!

PS. Found them the cheapest at tireexpress.com ($235 + s/h for the pair)

ejohn -> RE: Next set of tires (7/25/2006 9:44:06 PM)

i have always used 208s and the Q's but the pp beat them both. they are softer and corner even better.but you really can't go wrong with the top four tires.
