Re: Tires???????????

I've been riding them for the past two years. been through 4 sets now between three different bikes. I swear by them. they warm up quick and stick even when its cold out. the only down fall it they wear quickly.

Re: Tires???????????

I've heard very good things about the M1's...I'm riding on Pirelli Diablos right now though and love em. Was looking at new tires though and wondered if anybody's heard anything about the Continental Road Attacks or Dunlop 208ZRs??? I think I'm going to pickup a set of tires tomorrow at the IMS show in Chitown.

I would stay away from the conti's, but the dunlops are good. I was deciding between the M1 and the Diablo. The M1's are cheaper!!

Re: Tires???????????

i gotta m1 on the front of my 929 like rieguy187 said they warm up quick and stick good but they wear fast cause its a softer compound , i think the Michelin Pilot might even be a little better

Re: Tires???????????

yeah, so the IMS didnt have jack for tires there! the manufacturers had displays there, but there was only one distributor that i saw selling them...and they wanted like $300 for a set of anything. so, if uve got a good deal at lake country let me know gsxrgirl, otherwise im just gonna pick up a set online for $210...think i'm going to go with the dunlop 208ZRs

Re: Tires???????????

the M1's are a real nice tire. but like the perelli and avon's they are a soft compound and wear out kinda quick. for $210.00 you got a killer deal on them.
