I know the new 1000s come with alot of different tires from the factory. Mine came with Pirellis for example. I have a F3 that I put Mezzlers on and love the way they handle. My question is do yall prefer a tire (handling and durability) over Mezzlers?

I didn't hate the Pirelli's but too much $$ for what they were -- average. Running the BT012SS right now and they're great. Got a set of Michelin Pilot Powers waiting in the basement.

I will be going with Michelin Pilot Powers too. I only have the rear one now. I bought the last 180 a vender had at the AMA races at Mid-Ohio. I paid $132 after tax. The vendor told me I can get the front for $100 shipped. After searching the net those prices are about the lowest I've found.
