What tires are you guys using? I changed the stock rear Bridgestone BT020 to a Metzler M1 Sport Tech wow alot better going to do the frnt to match in a month or so. I know there isnt as much milage in my new choice so Ill have to do a few less burnouts.

I had the stock tries on my bike the Dunlop 207's and I liked them, not a lot of movement on them took a wile to heat up. then I had the 208's they were good too.. basically a replacement for the 207's
Now I'm on the Metzler M1's they give you a good feel for the read and let you know when they are starting to push it.. they are pretty soft, they heat up very quick.. some times they feel a little gummy at times.
My next set I'm looking to go to the Pirelli deablos, I have heard a lot of good things about them. but I have also hear good about the BT 10's

I don't know.........[X(]

In the beginning of last season they were having a awesome deal. Buy the rear and get the front for free...[8D]

Thanks for the input. That is what I almost did execpt for the prior exp with metzler,and Knowing any thing would be better than the Bt020 for how I was riding. There are some members at ZRXOA.org with pilots so I will get more info on the tire to how it does on my model bike. The metzler is warm enough in 40 degree weather to alow me to pull roll on wheelies after only a half mile of riding,but I dont rush the turns/hard braking till about 5 miles of constant rolling not stop n go riding.

From what I have read the Michelin Pilot Power's are pretty good. I'll be needing tires early this summer and until I read something negative I think I'll be going with the pilot powers. I've also be eyeing Continetile Road Attacks. Anyone know anything about the Road Attacks??
