Try the new Dunlop 209 Qualifier. :thumbup

Try the Pirelli Diablos. They are stable, turn quickly and their lifetime is decent enough. I 've tried Diablo Corsas too and they are excellent but if you ride in the rain (sometimes) you 'll find the non-Corsas more suitable. :riding

qualifiers!!!

I'd go with the Dunlop Qualifiers or Michelin Pilot Powers.

powers powers;butt powers powers;butt

Just got my Pilot Powers Friday. Will have them installed soon before the weather breaks. Couldn't wait to get rid of the 218's. Will find out mileage wise on them soon.

208rr s are a softer tyer with more grip than the new qualifiers, the 209 only comes in a taller profile so it rubs over 140mph 208gp s are great on track but here in uk dont hold the heat well enough on the road and they make it flap like mad , only try em on the road if yer got adjustable steering damper

I swear by the powers, great tyres and they install confidence even when they are cold. go out and get some you won't be disapointed.
