Tires for the 6th gen..

Well I ended up getting a Pilot Power 2CT for the fron and a Pilot Road 2CT for the rear. Scrubbing them in this week. Leaving for California on the 23rd. I used Jake Wilson and was very satisfied with the shipping time.

 

Used jake wilson lat purchase caue i has a cupon and got my set for $180.00 shipped. Too good to pass up.

Enjoy your tires and your trip

 

If you ever start to ride more try the BT23. got about 9k out of the BT21 on my 06 and have about 2500 on the BT23 that are now on my 07. Unfortunately I got hit on the freeway last month so wont be about to compare the 21 to the 23 but there should not be that much of a diff. Good luck on your trip and watch out for these fools on our freeways. :crazy:

 

Well I have to jump in and say that I really enjoy my Pirelli Angel STs. about $220 at the door from www.compacc.com

 

Have Pilot Road 2CT's on mine and they are great. Heard good things about Avon Storm 2's, anyone riding with them ?

 

I love my Pirelli Angels ST as well!!! I'll have to look and repost the actual mileage, but I'm sure I'm over the 5k mark on mine and they ride comfortably (but give lots of feedback), warm up quickly and stick reeeeallllllyyyyy well in a wide temperature range!!! I have verym minimal chicken strips (all but totally gone) and at times ride quite aggressively. I'm sure that if I got sticker compounds/tires, I could find the limits of my stock suspension bits, but with the Angels, they move the Viffer waayyyy over into the Sport side of the Sport Touring abilities, but with really good mileage so far. I thought at one time I was seeing a flat spot down the middle, but I guess my aging eyes were playing games...I cannot discern a noticeable flat spot and I check my tires before each ride. I was contemplating doing the Cont Road Attacks for my next tire change, but I like the way these roll so much when cruising and chasing, I'm prob just gonna spoon another set on when it's time. Although, I would like someone to post up their mileage on those new Pirelli Diablo Rosso's

 

Has anyone experienced a sport front tire with a rear sport-touring tire in combination with ABS ? Something like a Pilot Power front and a Pilot Road rear.

 

That's a pretty popular combination you mentioned above.

 

I am running a Pilot Power in front and a Pilot Road 2 in rear. I used to ride a Pilot Power in the rear, but I was getting less than 4000 miles a rear tire. I am very happy now, even in the rain. No ABS on my bike, though I don't think that should make a difference.
