Just wondering what everyone is running on there bike.

I am running the michelin Power race soft front, and PR5 rear right now. They seem awesome.


So far my favorite tire to date is the Pirelli dragon super corsa. Those are both for the track though.

For the street, anything works for me. Even the stock 218's.

Im on Bridgestone 014's

nice tyres - heat up quickly, nice profile drops evenly into turns, good in the wet - all round, Im happy.

Gonna try some new ones soon though - I need them for commuting rain or shine, plus occasional trackdays...so Im thinking Diablo Corsas or Pilot Powers - anyone tried em in the wet?

I've been on the Pilot Powers since January. Done several track days and a week at Deal's Gap. Awesome tires for hard street riding. I'm thinking about going up to the Pilot Race or Pirelli Super Corsa's for the track as I'm getting faster and pushing it a little harder. I use a 120 front and the 180 rear.

Super Corsa in 180/55. I use my race takeoffs on my street machine as I have an abundance of them. Great rubber!
