Author Message   M2statz Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 10:49 am:        After my second knee surgery put a huge suckface on my late season riding last year, I am still in need of new tires. I am torn between the Pilots series, Conti's and Pirelli's. What are your thoughts on these for my 2000 M2. Thanks and I will not put donlaps on my M2 ever again.   Aesquire Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 06:43 pm:        Tire time coming up quick for me too. I want very good cold grip, rain grip, and mileage secondary. ( but not completely unimportant. Reality imposes a budget. )   Ravensmith22 Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 08:05 pm:        I put a set of Pirelli Angels on last fall, and I really like them. They grip well in the rain and cold doesn't seem to affect grip at all. I used to run Diablo Stradas, but these are better. Another thing I noticed is that they don't track along rain grooves nearly as much as any other tire I've used. I can't say anything about mileage yet, but they are supposed to get better mileage than the Stradas, and I could get 12-13,000 miles from them.   Ourdee Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 08:48 pm:        Now I'm torn. I like the Stradas. For me they work well all around. But, If I could get the same from the angels with 2 or 3 extra thousand miles. hmmm   Rpm4x4 Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 09:05 pm:        I had my mind made up last fall to buy the pilot pure but now the pilot road 3 has me intrigued. It will be one of the two.   M2statz Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2011 - 11:00 pm:        RD-some places are referencing the Angels from Stradas. Just an FYI.   Ridenusa4l Posted on Monday, March 14, 2011 - 03:42 am:        id get PR3's thats my next tire, on my 1125 ive gotten 12k on the rear and 15k on the front...SERIOUSLY...and i BEAT the $h!T out of it! gotta say i really like them and the PR3's are supposed to be that much better! FWIW Jake   Glitch Posted on Monday, March 14, 2011 - 06:17 am:        New tire time was a while ago for me. I put on the new Pilot Road CT2. I was in the mountains all weekend riding solo Saturday, and with Ann on Sunday. Excellent tires, I highly recommend them. Quick warm up, unfailing grip, and all round goodness. There were some pretty spirited runs on Saturday, they did very well.   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, March 14, 2011 - 06:22 am:        I installed Michelin Pilot Road 3's on my Uly a month ago, and a week later it ate the connecting rod bearings!   Xl1200r Posted on Monday, March 14, 2011 - 09:22 am:        My PR2s were put a couple hundred miles before I rode coast to coast and spent 4,000+ miles on the road, much of it blasting across the desert. I expected them to have needed to be replaced after that, but I was actually able to finish out the season and they still look *almost* new. Great tire, and I'll try the PR3s next time.
