which tires??? - 10/29/2005 4:07:51 PM    sprout Posts: 155 Joined: 8/6/2005 Status: offline I can't decide between dunlop 208zr's or Pirelli Diablo (Or any other recommedations). I'm looking for something that can handle aggressive turns, will last the longest, and look good. In that order. I'm kind of a newb. Only had the bike for around 6 months, but have put 2,200+ miles on it so far. Its a2001 929 completly stock (mechanically) except for can and k&n. Opinions or advice openly taken. Thanks in advance guys and girls, I know you won't let me down. Sprout _____________________________ 2001 CBR 929RR Red, Black Post #: 1

I didn't realize how worn my old treads were. I can move my bike around like dave mirra. Thanks alot guys, I would have gotten the wrong tires.

Regular long distance riding or picking up coins with your teeth while at 15 degree leand angle....get 'em. _____________________________ To ride or not to ride......isn't a question!

RE: which tires??? - 11/6/2005 12:42:12 PM    Anubis Posts: 2159 Joined: 6/27/2005 Status: offline Metzeler are the same tyre as the Pirrelli`s i`ve use the Racetecs and found them to be an awesome tyre there the same as P`s Dragon Supercorsa. I`ve used the pilot powers before and although there good i had a moment where the rear let go which put me off, i never had that before or since on another tyre. + the road was clean no dirt or grit etc. _____________________________ Liverpool-UK Bla Bla Bla - Just Ride It !!
