Good tire in 190 ??
I'm looking for a good tire for the zx12r 02 in 190 ?
What do you think of Michelin Pilot Sport HPX ?
Thanks a lot.

I just put a set of the Pirelli Corsa's Med rear and soft front, this maybe the best tires I have ever had.
Let you know after my track day at Road America next Tuesday.

I have used the Rennsport in 190. No doubt the best tire I have ever used. But the longevity sucked. Only 650 miles. And Bart, me and Motobeagle will see ya there Tuesday.

As I have previously posted I am not a Michelin fan. I have had wear issues and don't care for how long they take to warm up.............
I personally love Dunlops, but my Mille has a 190 Pirelli on it and it will turn circles around the inside outside under etc. of anything on the road. So the Pirelli is a helluva tire. And of course alot of guys on this board swear by the BT0101. I don't have much of a history with the Rennsport. It is a great tire that wears fairly fast.
It is your call!!

I was at the bike shop the other day & noticed a new tire is out. The M1 Sportec 200/50x17! First time I've seen a specific tire for the ZX12R other than the Dunlop or Bridgestone...

Enjoy the ride!

Just got d207 yesterday. I rode about 50 miles today hot and seems to be really easy to spin... Next time will try to order BTO10 beforehand...
