I have a 2008 zx6r needin a rear tire i wish i could say the stock tire was just sucky but i helped it out big time anyone have luck with the MICHELIN SPORT tire? It the cheapest i found with ok reviews. Any input would be grand!

 

Do you do track days, or just road rides? I just got rid of an '05 Triumph Speed Triple, and had it shod with Michelin Pilot Road 2's. Excellent wearing,( - my Triumph was my DD) and not too bad handling for the road, but was useless for the track.

I sourced used (but not worn out) 'Metzler Slicks', or 'Pirelli Dragon Slicks' Race Tyres for the track days, from a buddy of mine who raced GSX1000's. I then replaced the Road 2's when the day was done. With the race tyres, I could push my riding, without fear of the tyres loosing it... before I did!!

Damn near impossible to find a tyre that will fit all riding types. Just don't buy the cheapest tyre, they're cheap for a reason - they're rubbish.

thats my 2cents.....

 

I just wore out my battlaxe bridgstone on my 2009 cbr600rr. Its also my DD I will be trying the Michelin Pilot Power next 150 bucks installed cant beat that.

 

I do very little track racing but i push it hard on the road.

 

i run pirelli diablo strada. i did the research and people say they get about 9000 miles out of'em. so far i love them. i ride a lot of curves and it will stay soft and warm forever. and you can actually lean a bit even on wet pavements.
but if you just want the best tire for the price, then shinko is what you're looking for.

 

Ughh, topics like these and all the cycling magazines at my stores make me want to give it a try so hard.

 

^Ha ha... I know what you mean.. I REALLY miss the Triumph.., However, I still have the use of all my limbs.

4Wheeling isn't a bad substitute to biking. - it's ALOT safer...
