Pilot Powers will last longer than Qualifiers and handle better as well, but really, if you are not getting knee pucks down, both are a waste of money. The Diablo Strada or Metzler Z6 will give you planty of grip and last longer than sport tires. The Stradas are the only tires I use on my Aprilia and I can still get knee pucks on the ground with them. Went through Qualifiers with my CBR like they melted on asphalt and switched to Pilot Powers which are MUCH better!

I loved my pilot powers. I was able to get about 6k out of my last rear tire.

The riding around here is straight & flat so go with a long lasting tire like Meanstrk said. The stockers are good to and you can usually get 6K out of those. Wnters getting closer so a sport touring tire may be a good choice if you plan on riding in the cold & wet weather. Another option is buying race or stock take-offs. Let me know if you need a set. I have both athalf the price of a new set of tires.

I have been liking the Qualifiers for the street so far. 4k miles and dyno tuning and they are looking abit ragged though.
