Ok-you got my attention-no-one seems to like Bridgestone 014s. My GSXR 600 k7 is on its second set. I have never had a moment with them.Why do you guys dislike them so much?I try to ride hard, but as a relative noob-have a loooong way to go. So, what do you guys recommend? I dont need an extremely agressive tyre because i dont have the ability to reach its potential. I am thinking-M3s or PPs or diablos. Your feedback please.
Who you gonna call!

I had the stock Bridgestones on my gixxer 750, but changed to M3's for my second set of tyres. I'd never go back. The M3's handle better in dry and wet, they stick to the road and are very nice on the track. By comparison the Bridgestones felt like cheap plastic tyres similar to those you might find on a stock GN...

Having ridden on all of them, here's my precis:
Pirelli Diablos: Good road feel, the least grippy of the three, competent but uninspiring. A bit dated. They like to move around a bit; riding them takes some getting used to.
Michelin Pilot Powers: The opposite of the Diablos. The most grippy and the fastest to warm up, probably the best-performing tyre in your list, but seriously let down by their absence of road feel and glassy lack of feedback. You'll never push them anywhere near their limits, because you'll have no idea whether they're about to let go or not.
Metzeler Sportec M3s: Grippier than the Pirellis. You'll find the rear starting to power-slide on the track a bit sooner than the Michelins, but you won't find that limit on the road. Amazing road-feel; M3s give you a whole new confidence in your bike on all sorts of surfaces. My preferred road tyre.
That's all quite subjective, of course; anyone else who's ridden on the tyres is welcome to disagree with me!

I agree with Mr Random
Ditch the Bridgestones. You won't regret it.

I think we have found a winner! Due to fiscal considerations we may have to wear the bridgees out first-then bring on the Metzler love!!

Thanks for all your input will be getting the tyres at some point this week the metzlers are getting a good rating so could go for a pair will keep all informed of the outcome.

I've actually got a set of M3s in the shed ready to go on as a set when I've worn out the 014s. I put a set of them on the last (of four) GSX-R1000 I owned. They were alright. I have had a good run out of Bridgestones... to each their own. When you find tyres that YOU like, stick with themThanks for all your input will be getting the tyres at some point this week the metzlers are getting a good rating so could go for a pair will keep all informed of the outcome.
