You have probably been asked before but I cant find a great deal of information about tyre choices that suit the ''cane''.
Maybe someone that knows what they are doing could set up a poll, then we could all put our tyre brands and give them some ratings.

This had been beaten to death many times - see earlier posts.I use Michelin Pilot road 2''s and have done around 10500 K''s on them. Excellent grip and good life - still about 6000K''s left and I ride her fairly hard.

If you poll this question you only get 3,00,000 personal choice and yer as Pete said , this has been done to death....I do not think that a actual best tire really exists ...
Tire''s are a only personal choice thing .. usually.
Not one of the major motor cycle tire manufacturer''s makes crap tires mate, no matter what anyone says..
The CBR1000F are a heavy bike so all I will say is that you would be better off with a tougher tire... so they last a bit longer ..
I use the good old stock Bridgestone Battlax BT-020.... good feel , last well and grip fine...
Michelin Pilot road 2 are very good as well with all of the benefits of the Bridgestone...
again, it is only which one feels good underneath you

Thanks for the input guys,sorry for digging up old stuff.
I will probably go with the Bridgestone 020 or 021, sounds a popular choice for the canes.
My front is up for change very soon but the rear seems ok for now.

Hi all, I use the Michelin Pilot Road 2 on my 1993 CBR1000FP and find they are good for me, plenty of grip and stable. However recently we (east coast Australia) have been having some difficulty getting RP2 fronts.
I needed a front for a trip to Phillip Island Moto GP so I got the relatively new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart. As my rear tyre was new I had to use two different tyres, not that this is always a problem but some brands just dont go together.
I found that the Dunlop was a top choice, heaps of grip, great wear (so far). Riding with mates on Blackbirds and ZX12s the old girl is working reasonably hard but the bike and tyres were more than up to it
So the Dunlop is another option.
