If I like to just cruise and fart around what kind of tire should I go for?

I had people tell me that the michelin pilot power were awesome
then I had people say the Dunlop 208 were awesome.

Were they both lying? I need some help

And if anybody doesn't know about this sweet *** site then here...

TIRES

 

on the rear i run w.e is in the dumpster at my dealership

 

208 sux donkey *****, If you got the cash definalty the pilots. I hate my 208's they never warm up enough esspeacially in my area.

 

lol that's what my friend said too, and he said go with the pilots.
but I was just seein what other people thought

 

If you are just looking something to cruise on or do wheelies I recommend using the new Shinko street tires. Doesn't have a very sharp peak like most sport tires which doesn't really help it in the corners but it is great in a straight line and has a flatter contact patch for riding wheelies.

 

How much do those run?

 

180/55/17 is $99. 190/50/17 is $105. This is from www.ronayers.com
They are not on the website though. You will have to call and order them though or your local shop may have them. I get the 180s for $81 cause I work there. Lucky me.

 

208s are the worst wheelie tires out there. Especially if its less than 70 out.

 

No doubt. My bike came with 208's on it and they're total ***. I know it's winter, but damn. They don't stick the way you'd expect them to-- even when you're on the highway.

I'm gonna burn through the last bits of 208 once I get some $$ and try the pilots.

 

I just ordered a new pilot powers... Should be here by thursday. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

So far though the best I've had have been the pirelli Diablos. They felt nice and stable on wheelies and had excellent grip.

 

yeah ruff those powers are great they warm up real fast and have great grip....last long too.....especeally if you use them on your wifes f4i.

 

so definately dont get the 208s?

 

208's arent bad either....i like metzler....and bridge stone....the 002's

 

yeah cause i ordered the 208s the other day and i dont know what any other tire feels like besides the 207 thats already on mine

so u guys are makin me have second thoughts on this

 

208s are my first tires so i have nothing to compare them to but i haven't had any problem with them. i'm getting getting new tires for spring tho, probably m1s, pilots or diablos

 

what about the 218'S?

 

I Love My Metzlers!!!!!!!!

 

Michelin all the way in my book, haven't used a better tyre than the Piolet Power's yet. They do it all

 

tha pilots on the front....i ride a yzf and that ***** is heavy as hell and hard to roll a good stoppie but with that pilot on the front it hooks up alot better than any other tire i have put on there it warms up pretty quick and sticks good!

on the rear i just get tha freebies from tha local shop...but i ran a brand new pilot on the back and it was good liked it alot
