best tire
 

I finally need to change my rear tire on my 05 zx6r and was wondering can someone tell me what is the best brand of tire i should get. I live in El Paso, TX so it is mostly sunny and dry hear all the time, so which one has really good grip.

RE: best tire
 

Michelin Pilot Power! Great grip less milelage.

Dunlop 208's! Good grip and great mielage.

I have recently put the Michelin Pilot Road front and rear. This tire will probably last a bit longer, but i am feeling a little more slippage in the rear around the corners. Keep in mind temperatures have dropped lately. This tire also changed how quick the bike turned going into the corner, its a little slower now. My bike turned a little quick on stock tires for an average rider. I got 7400 miles out of the stock tires and I prefer the bridgestone bt-014 for performance and durability over the Michelin.

Im gonna agree with not stock, Pilot power is the way to go amazing grip dry and wet, Pilot power all the way i use to be a big D208 fan but after running PP its no coming back

i have pirelli diablos on my bike and i must say they are amazing! wet, dry whatever. i really like them, seem to be lasting pretty good too. only done a few smoke shows with them. not that much more than other tires.

Thanks for all the help and opinions, I think I am going to try the Diablo's plus right now i can get it for 65 dollars from a local shop that screwed up there order and order way to many so they are just trying to sell as many as possible.
