Just got a 98 vtr 1000 and it needs tires. This is my first street bike and I'm not too aggressive of a rider. I want good tires, but not the best and I would like to see lots of miles out of them. ????????????????????????????

 

standard pilot powers.

+1 Pilot powers are great! I have the Power 2ct's but that's because I got them for cheap.

 

+2 Pilot Powers ROCK!

 

Dunluop RoadSmarts great for the weather in the North West

 

pilot powers 2ct. best tires I've ever had. never stepped out. not once. one set lasted me through two seasons (riding a track day each season) and still have plenty of meat and still grippy. I am planning on getting new 2ct's this spring but only because I intend to do more track days this year and the set I've got has gone through alot of heat cycles. they still have plenty of tread left tho.

I've had a few sets of Pilot Powers on my VTR and loved them. I switched over Bridgestone BT021's for this season, but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Supposedly you can get some killer miles out of them... which should do me good on this summers 4k+ mile road trip.

I highly recommend buying tires from these guys Southwest Moto Tires.
Great prices and quick shipment!

 

once again, i am the only one to recommend shinko 005 advance radials. they ******* rule. even in cold weather they perform great before they warm up. they are very affordable as well.

 

Just put on a set of pilot road 2's on, and i love'em.

 

Did I mention I love tire threads?! I did Pilot Power 2CT front and Pilot Road2 rear and am very happy w/ grip and wear.

Okay, looks like I'm alone on this, again , but I use Bridgestone 020s, and they give me decent grip (for commuting, occasional sport riding, and distance riding), and decent lifespan (up - 7 to 9K depending on use). They're also cheaper than most.

 

+9 on the powers. I've only run conventional ones but plan to go to dual plys this year

 

well well well,

i have the continental attacks, they are nice but i need to replace the front one!
