    Got about 4,500kms out of the rear..quite surprising really, was only getting about 3,500 out of Sportecs.

    I've just put Sportecs back on for winter due to the tread going right to the edge. Cornering on Pirelli Supercorsa's in the wet (similar tyre to racetec) was not much fun. Diablo Corsas came out standard on the CBR and seemed pretty good in wet and dry.

    I have heard nothing but good things about Pilot's though - might have to try some soon, especially if they throw in a couple of stands.
    Yip never tried the PP's cause couldn't afford them. But racetechs are awesome and I got more KM out of them than the sportechs. Not running a though so they suit my bike in the wet or dry. Might be a different story if I had a bit more power running through the rear.
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    Sportec M3's. Up to 5000km on the rear on mine and it looks as though it'll do another 3000 easy. Thats including a trackday and a small burnout :P
    Stickier than the M1 with better mileage. Cant comment on wet performance as I ride like a total nana, but they haven't had any wiggles.

    The PPs are fantastic road tyres and If I had the moolah to run to 3 sets of rims I'd definitetly run a set as intermediate tyres -for a damp track.

    Be keen to hear a report from you when you've done your first 1000kms on the PP's.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    my contact informed me wrong

    Its something about stands when you buy a shark helmet

    Northen as no fronts at size of 120 in powers in the country

    but are doing good prices on the pilot sports, and pilot roads at moment
