Default What Tire do you like ?

What tire do you guys like to use on the street ?

I like the Pirelli corsa 3's then tried the Bridgestone BT-016's,but the Michelin
Pilot Power gets my vote, just put another set on yesterday and will not stray from them again.

I run simple Conti Sport Attacks

They sure turn in tons better than stock tires. Good mileage and grip for my riding abilities. Not as aggressive of a profile as others but thats fine with me.

I like the Bridgestone BT-016. For the price I don't think you can beat it.

I love the Pilot Powers for the street. But I'm hearing a lot of positive feedback on the Bridgestone BT-016. I may try a set of these on the Busa next.

That's why I asked the question , I by no means think that the tire someone
likes has anything to do with ones skill, one of my friends kicks my a$$ and he's
on dunlops and swears by them. Im not a fan of them because I remember
how lose the rear felt and the front felt like it floated on the contact patch
in the turns.

ride dunlop qualifiers for street/canyon(good confident builder)
bridgestone bt002 med compound for track.

edit: I've ran the qualifiers at a few track events 2 years ago in dry heat, cloudy days and once in the rain. Never have i had an incident with this awesome arse tire even till this day i swear by it, so don't knock these tires to much. my 2cts
