I need some new tires for the Duc. The original ones are on the bike now Michelin Pilots. I havent bought tires in 4 years and are out of the loop. Bro's give me some suggestions. Keep in mind.. I will only put at most 500 miles a year on them No track days, all street riding I have no brand preference Thanks

No specific brand? If you dont' have a preference...(such little riding) I wouldn't worry about it when it comes to take off's. I was just thinking of a way to save soem cash for you considering the lack of miles. I love my SuperCorsa's personally.

I love my SuperCorsa's personally. Not worried about the cash, don't think I want to do used. These are probably the last set of tires I will put on the bike (current tires are 8 years old with 5500 miles on them) I will keep the SuperCorca's in mind.

Michelin Pilot Powers Your used to Michelin rubber, they work great on the street, should last you another 4 years if you are doing 500 miles a year.. And they are cheap! Probably $230-240 for a set shipped..

Bump!!! Where do you get these for $230-240 shipped? Probably, www.sportbiketrackgear.com They have some of the best Michelin prices you can find. I bought my last set of Michelin D.O.T race rubber from them. Very fast shipping too.

I'm going to need tires in July and I really want to hear how the Rossos handle and wear compared to the PP's.

5500 miles in 8 yrs why do you even have a bike? tyres go off after about 5 yrs so if you haven't noticed the brittle non sticky rubber then i'd say put anything on as it would make no difference at all, if all you're doing is riding a couple of hundred yards down the road every week.......

A couple of guys in my local club are using these, and I have been very impressed with the wear. As far as I can tell, their claims of the front wearing even with the rear are accurate. On a trip out to East TN. that we did recently, one of our guys wore both his front and rear tire out (GSX-R750).
