I have the Sportech M-1's and they are an awesome tire. They are said to be great in the rain as well...but I tend not to ride in the rain if I can help it. They have excellent grip...I like them much better than the BT10's I had.:thumbup
 
Michelin

Gotta try Michelin Pilot Race's (Soft) They rock!

I just tried the new H2's from Michelin at the track. The front is rock friggin solid! :rock I got the rear to slide in the double apex. I didn't expect it, and it was kinda scary, but not unmanagable. No wiggle or anything, just stepped out a little and kept going! :machinegu
 
what's everyone's opinions on the BT10's ........ I haven't tried them but hear that the middles are slightly harder which would be better for me and the drag strip as far as the tire wear goes .....
