Uh Oh - Another Tire Thread

Was wondering what type of tires U guys use

I'm currently on Diablos - but have not ridden them too long to offer an opinion - other than they seem OK (got em on the cheap from a Cycle Gear sale last yr $170 for set)

But over the years have had Avon ST tyres

Dunlop Quals

Conti Road Attack -
looks like this after not enough twistys

Would like a set that last more than 4k - but have grip in the twistys

Am I asking too much?

How are the Michelin 2CTs? do they last?

FYI - I commute about 10 times a season + / - > which is about 100 miles of Hiway each trip.


So what say U?

Thanks

Rhino

Lastly - See U on da Road...

Karbon is on a distinguished road
michelin pr2 ct. They have plenty of grip, easily enough for a B pace track rider. On the streets they will afford you with more grip than you need. You can expect at least 6k miles on the rears. They are the priciest ST tires on the market, but are more than worth their cost.

I have about 9.5k on mine and are due to be replaced.
