Tire question.

[sleepys4]

I'm trying to figure out which tires i want to buy. I really dont do much mtn riding and have never been to the track. i just want something sticky so i don't lowside and die. with that said i'm not sure which tires to buy.
they are going on a 2002 r6.

Michelin Pilot Power

Dunlop Qualifier

Continental Sport Attack


out of these which have you guys used and are fairly sticky. thanks in advance.

[GIXXERDK]

Pilot Powers are great tires.

i'll put it this way 1.most people i ask say dont get dunlops 2. had the conti and it seperated from the rim doing 60 on 285 3. rockin the michelin now with no problems.

btw dont forget metzlers and maxxis i hear both are really good tires.:goodjob:

[sleepys4]

Yea i saw maxxis i didn't know the were good.

pilot power 2ct, best tire ever, and the tread wear is not that bad on them either

[foety_foe]

as long as you don't get the bridgestone Bt-014 tires. worst tires i have ever used. they would never get warm and never really grip.

i like the continental road attack tires. also can't go wrong with the metzlers

I agree with you on that, cause that's what I have on my back. I read that their one step down from what they use in MotoGP.

I concur with both of you guys.

The price on the 2CT's aren't cheap, but I was told from a friend behind me(:lmfao: ) that he seen me get lower and that I was drifting. So that's some good sticky. :lmfao:

[Grimm Reeper]

But it also depends on the kind of rider you are, for instance, I heard that maxxis are good for straight aways, but not to good for corners. Each tire has pro's and con's.

[sleepys4]

thanks again everybody. I'll probably get the pilots or maybe the 2ct.

what pressures did you use

i've run Bt-014's on the track with no problems and on the street-not bad tires IMO(much better then the stock Duncrap 218's that came on the 04/05 GSXR's

although I like the Pirelli Corsa 3's over any of the tires mentions

(the 2ct's aren't bad though)

I had a very bad experience with the 218's lol (if you still remember)
