Two words. 1. Dunlops 2. Suck

Pilot Powers, BT014's, Diablos
You can't go wrong with either of the 3.
But as always, it depends on your riding style.

the new Dunlops are an inprovement oaver the 208's just like the Powers are over the Pilot Sports.

Tires are relative to ride style, bike, and throttle control. The new qualifiers were performing well down here on the racetrack for guys doing trackdays. And were wearing fairly well.
I am not a Dunlop guy, nor am I a Michelin guy. I prefer Pirellis. I run the Supercorsas on the bikes for the track. But intil another manufacturer shows me something, the Pilot Powers have my vote on the best all around street/trackt tire. I have gotten almost 5000 miles out of a set of Powers. No other tire I have ever ridden has ever gotten close to that...and the Powers give me good enough traction to have fun on trackdays. If I am serious about times on the track I use the Supercorsas.....If I am just out to have fun, the Powers work fantastic......
