Moderator YamaHead Posted June 4, 2007 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2007 I've had pretty good results out of Dunlops, & Metzeler's as well Tom. The ME33 Lazer front tire has got to be 1 of the best wet weather tyre's made. I think the Dunlops give better feedback for less money.....& still last a good 6-8k miles.

Robbie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I had michelin pilot powers which are the next step up from the sports in terms of grip. I got around 3000 miles out of the rear before I changed it the front was only half worn. Best tyres I've ever had though. The grip and turn in on them was sensational.

diychap Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I got some Pirelli Supercorsa Pro, very very sticky hence they have not lasted well. They like a warm road to give you the best. I've done 900 miles and they're half gone, maybe it's the way I ride Next time I'll get Diablo Corsa III, three zones so should give me better millage on the Mway. I should have got these first as was recomended but wanted some super sticky stuff, and blimey the're sticky, good fun Not so nice with lots of standing water so don't get caught in a thunderstorm!

Willenium Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I personally rate the Pilot Powers. Had a Diablo on the rear which is meant to be a good tyre but I beg to differ. It was susceptible to wheelspin when cornering and squared off in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Hillyard Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Dont get on with the dunlops that they fit to the R6 as standard as they square off in no time and dont give too much back in return for mileage either. Going for Pilot Powers as fitted a front and its superb and the rear is going on hopefully this weekend or next! I think about 3-5k is the most you can expect from a tyre especially if you give it a bit of stick every now and then! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
