Tyres? What do you use?

[Two Smoker]

i know i only have a small bike but i find pirrelis shite!! i like pilotpowers and bridgestones bt 45 , bt010 , the pirrelis farking slid all over the place but the others just hold all the way through the corners dnt last newhere as long but who cares! hurray 4 having no muney

BT45's are the worst tyre i have ever ridden on, and any pirelli tyres (even the MT75) are better than that tyre...

BT010 on the back of the busa - fab sticky but shows significant signs of feathering on the edges after 100km ride... i think i'll be lucky to get 1000k's out of it...

Nothing wrong with Diablo's, must be something else causing the back to slide out young fella!

I'm currently on my 2nd set of Diablo Stradas but they're sports-tourers, had straight Diablos before that and they were a great tyre, but didn't last too long...

how much are you getting out of the strada? the busa is EATING the BT010 (funnily enuf) and i think it'll be gone by lunchtime tomorrow...

I quite like BT45's...not enough grip to be a superhero...but good control, slides nice. Cheap too, and good in the wet. My fave tyre for a 250 road bike.

Only got 4.5k outta the last one and also did a track day on it, but ran the pressure too low methinks and coulda got more...had a straight Diablo before that and got 7.5k out of it.

I've tried the GSXR1000 with the bt014's , Didn't think they were bad , Think you'd like the 208's (Just about to be replaced with the "Sport Max Qualifier) They have a nice stable feel to them edge to edge , I find that with the Diablo's my current bike drops into corners far quicker and the bike feels less stable when lent over, not so good for round-abouts. The Diablo's do have the grip so you can trust them. Good luck with the next set.
