Tires, Need Help!!!

I have an 05 R1 and need a rear tire, I have Dunlops on there now but not sure if I should go w/ that again. Friends keep sayin Pilot Powers but not sure if those are best for my riding style. How do you figure out which ones are best? Any suggestions????

What's your riding style?:dunno

Slow,lol I'm not as crazy a rider as my friends. I'm not doin wheelies or taken turns/off ramps at speeds over 70. not really sure how to describe it

get a sport touring tire. pilot road might be a good pick for you. hows the front tire? how many miles on it? you most likely need a new now or next season anyway. I just get a new set of tires if the front is alomost gone too.

+1 on the pilot road

The new BT016 are awesome. 5 zone 3 compound rear and 3 zone 2 compound front.

The new BT016 are awesome. 5 zone 3 compound rear and 3 zone 2 compound front. yes i heard those were nice also, ive been meaning to check them out. with a slower riding style id stick with a sport touring

Thanks I'l check it out, BTW I'm not that slow, I just keep the speeds under 120 on the street for now.

lol yea i didnt mean it like that but thats exactly what a sport touring tire is for

:lol

I would keep the same type on both ends. You won't gain much saving the front. I've always done pairs.

diablo rosso's? or pilot powers.

lol yea i didnt mean it like that but thats exactly what a sport touring tire is for Hey salty, where in Ct are you located? If you don't mind me askin.

I would keep the same type on both ends. You won't gain much saving the front. I've always done pairs. yup.-- thats kinda where i was going with it. just get a new set and dont forget to rotate them every 60,000 miles

Put a set of the Mich. Pilot Road 2ct on my bike, love them so far, about 500 miles on them.
