Any recommendations on tires? I have no complaints with my corsa's, but I was going to give the pilot powers a shot. Heard good things about them. I do a lot of long high runs and love hitting the turns hard. Any ideas for tire selection? | ||

Pilot Powers are great. I ran them on my GSXR1000. But, the rear didn't last very long. When the Corsas wear out on my CR, I will run this combo: Pilot Power Front Pilot Road 2 rear (higher mileage) | ||

The OEM tire on this bike really is a good choice, IMHO. I run them in the high twisties and on the track, and I'm quite pleased. For a little better mileage in the twisties, I will run the regular Diablo, even though it doesn't offer the same confidence of the Corsa III. | ||

You saw the bt-021 post I made in your other thread. I like those a lot. | ||

Yea I love the corsa III's. I feel "why change it if it works. " Great handling and mileage, but you'll never find something better if you stick with wat you got. | ||

i will go to power 1's when stockers are worn out | ||

I've run the Power 2CT's and the Corsa III's on the track many, many times. I will never buy another set of Pilot Power 2CT's. The turn in is slower than the Corsas and they don't give you any warning before they let go. I damn near high sided my 600 running the Michelins. The Pilot One is supposed to be a MUCH better tire than the Powers, but it's probably too soft for street use. The Pilots or the Corsas are both fine for street use. Probably overkill. | ||

My budy runs the power 1 on his 08 busa on the track and street he has around 2000 miles on it and 150 burnouts at least and looks to be over half there still | ||

If mileage is a concern I am sure there are other tires out there but I like the Corsa 3. They may not last long but man do they stick and ride well. My next pair will be the 3's. | ||

Pirelli Diablo supercorsa compound SC1 front and SC2 rear, awesome in the dry, haven't ridden in the wet yet (and don't intend to - thats what the HD is for) | ||

Stick with the Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires. That's what I ended up putting on my XB12Ss over a year ago and the improvement over the Dunlops was really significant. When I saw that the 1125R/CR were coming with them stock, I figured that was one less thing I'd have to look into changing. | ||

for me the best one is the metzeler roadtec z6 interact. very good grip, good on wet and do 6000 miles... | ||

Another vote for the Pilot Power. Had them on several bikes. Like them on each bike. Mike | ||

Take a look at Metzeler tires. I run M1's on my Firebolt | ||

I liked the Corsa IIIs, running Pilot Power 2CTs now. I'm happy with either choice. I haven't experience the issues Chad is describing. I lowsided on the Powers when the front washed out on, but I was on the street and went wide and I'm pretty sure I hit some gravel. | ||

When my tires go I have quite a few sets of Dunlop 211 race tires I can throw on  Will a 200 fit on the 1125CR rear? That is what I use on my 07'GSXR 1000 race bike. |
