Best Rubber?

[Quasievil]

I can be wrong but I think I payed 570 for both were Haldanes was charging me 400 for the front and 350 for the rear

Yeah 5 hundy ish is about right, I can get this price here in Hammy cheers

The best is to phone around and almost kinda get the dealers to bid against each other.

I now have an R6 and its almost time for some new rubber! The Pilot sports on it at the moment seem to do the job OK also. Not quite as good as the Diablo's tho.

I note nobody's mentioned the dunlop 208's... does nobody else use them or am I really missing out on something?
My r6 came with them and I was a bit dubious at first (bad past dunlop experiences), and planned to replace them with pirellis at first opportunity but they've earned a spot in my heart. I cant fault them - great feel and stickability - maybe a little tetchy in the wet but who isnt? - at least they give warning as you approach their limits unlike older models.
I've got one of the new 218s on at the moment and put it round puke on saturday and *shrug* it fit the bill sweet as... I do note the 208rr is this season's control tyre in the aussie superbikes so they must be somewhat ok...
