i like the pirelli supercorsca race compounds but they wear really fast you'll get about 4-5,000 miles out of them,but they stick so well you could probably ride up a wall (not really so don't try it and say i said you could j/k) if you take the wheel off most places will mount and balance it for between 15-30, if you take to bike they usually charge about double that.

I picked the qualifer just because Sport Rider had the highest score for that tire. The only thing is it is very soft and doesn't last very long. But a great high performance tire. I think I will try one this spring.

I bought a dunlop 208 like 2000 miles ago. It is almost to the wear bars. I guess I ride the crap out of it and did one little burn out for 3 seconds. But it was worth it.

I agree with transam man. The dunlop 208s come on my gsxr 750 and didnt last no time at all. Curious as to how yours lasted so long? Anyway I have been running the pilot powers with no complaints what so ever. Did two track days on a new set and still managed about 4000 miles out of the rear(tracks put a wacking on tires). Ill be running pilot race medium/medium compound this year at the track but am very interested in the new Dunlop Qualifier for street riding. They are talking them up in the mags so ill have to try a set in comparison with the powers. Going to be tuff to beat the powers.

I'm on my second set of Dunlops. I was impressed with quality for dollar amount. I put about 6000 mi. on my 1st set with no burnouts, but a reasonable amount of wheelies. I've bought my last 2 sets of tires at http://www.mawonline.com/.
I think I paid around $92 front 120/70ZR17 and $106 rear 180/55ZR17 D208s, shipped to my door in Pennsylvania. This was the best price I could find and I mount my own tires. Keep in mind that these might be closeout prices and I don't think they can be returned. I have'nt had any problems from this company though and I know several other people that have bought tires from here. I don't ride track, only street or I would probably look into getting different tires. For street though I don't have any complaints about Dunlop.

I have no problems with my Dunlop 208... I just wanted to keep the performance and life. I can't believe some of you are only getting 2000 miles on them. I am pushing it now at 6500 miles, but damn... 2K and you need new ones? I do zero burnouts but I'm always launching and bringing the front up a few inches....
