I'm running Pirelli Diablos and I have a set of Bridestone BT-016s (couldn't resist $200 a set!) warming up for when I get around to changing them....

I love them. Only other tires I've had are some dunlops that fit on the buell, and some shinkos that were on my R1 when I got it. These things have amazing turn in. I'm not a great rider by any means, so my thoughts on them don't really matter honestly. From what "hard" riding I have done, they are great.

How did you like that 200 you had on your bike?

Bridgestone BT-021. Plenty of grip and seem to hold up well on a 600. I would spend my money on another set when these wear out.

My two favorite tires are the Avon Storm ST's and the Michelin Pilot Road 2's.


Of the two, the PR2's are the best. I really liked the stick and the wear on both. The profile of the two of them is very similar. The PR2's had better wet traction, but only slightly.

HATED the Pilot Roads, and the BT020s were horrible for cupping the front

The BT-021 is a completely different tire from the 020. I ran a set of 014's as a control reference prior to putting on the 021's. I like the the 021 better than the 014. Equal or better grip, better front stability on the side and a bit better mileage. The rear is holding its profile well, but the front is starting to show some wear on the outer tread from side load. I probably wouldn't run them as a track tire, but they are working really well on the street.

Continental Road Attacks on my street bike and Dunlop 209's on my track bike. When the Conti's wear out, I'm going to try some of those new fangled Pilot Road 2's.

I just put a set of Pilot Road 2's on my R1 last week. I've only been able to get about 55 miles on them since I got them, but so far they seem great.

The night I got them put on, I ended up riding home in the rain for about 20 miles. The bike felt stable and never gave me any issues at all on the wet roads.

You know,I never finished that evaluation did I? Well,briefly,it caused me some set-up headaches for a minute but I "felt" a lot more stable in the turns with the 200 and it "felt" like I was experiencing less tire slip (I don't hit it hard enough to spin on corner exit anymore) when powering out of a corner. I actually,really liked the tire but I went back to 190 because of price and availability. Plus I got two sets of Diablos for $150 a set.
