whats the best tire

i have a 2007 r1 and i need a new tire, i am wondering what tires are out there that ppl recommend... i want to stick with a 190/50 radial... need to replace very soon the center of my tire is flat but the outside are like new... i used to burn out a lot... any ideas let me know

this is what i have right now... i like it, very tight cornering, but i am wondering if there is better Michelin Pilot Power 2CT Two Compound Sport Radial Rear Tire * W-rated for speeds up to 168 mph * The tire for sportbike riders who use their bikes on the road and on the track * These tubeless tires feature MotoGP, two-compound technology with lean angles up to 51.2 degree * Tread surface is divided into three separate areas featuring two different rubber compounds; softer shoulder rubber provides phenomenal cornering grip * Sidewall ID information: Michelin 190/50-ZR17 M/C 73W Pilot Power 2CT Dimensions Inflated Width/Measuring Rim Width: 7.99 in./ 6.00 in. Inflated Diameter: 25.04 in. Acceptable Rim Width(s): 5.50-6.00 in. Deepest Tread Depth: 7/32 in. Balance Dot: None Directional Arrow: Yes

Just got a 2CT on the front, due to a damn nail...love it, gotta get one on the rear now because tag fell off, took chuck outa tire. I like Metzler M3's and woulda went with them due to price but woulda had to order, I hate ordering things, so just spent the extra money and decided the dual compound was a good idea. But the front 2CT sticks like glue, barely broken in and I had it to about full lean. Very very impressed with ride quality, feedback, and grip. If was glued to the road so well i figured I would never have to worry about the front wheel coming up agian...course I was wrong lol.

the general opinion here is the pilot powers or the pirelli diablos but again do a search:fact

if you like the 2ct you will love the michelin power race more compound choice 57 deg lean angle but i would use 55 not 50 thats what i run on my 05 the other thing i would say is dont do burn outs leave that for the children to ruin there tires (in england tyres) be cool have fun

Sounds like you need a Sport Tourning tire if your eating the middle out with good tread left on the sides. It would be stupid to spend good money on sticky dual compound rubber if your just going to burn up the middle. Most of the tire compaines are making very good sport tourning tires now.

Only do burnouts once in a blue moon lol on my first bike after i bought my M3's i only did a few small burnouts and i felt the pain in my heart after i did them

i am pretty sure i am not going to do burn outs as much as before, thanks for your inputs... so pretty much the the 2ct or the diablos, i want something super sticky and soft

Pirelli Diablo Rosso

i am pretty sure i am not going to do burn outs as much as before, thanks for your inputs... so pretty much the the 2ct or the diablos, i want something super sticky and soft Your waisting your money on 2CT's even if you plan on doing less burn outs which your not to sure of anyway. Why do you want a Super Sticky Soft compound then? Are you a into track days where this type of rubber is needed? Personally, I'd go with the regualr Pilot Powers, Dunlop Qualifier or the Metzler M3 just to name a few.
