Best tire for the ZX10?
To all:
I am wondering what band of tire to go with for my zx10. I keep getting guy's telling me different story which one is the best. I am thinking to go with the Dunlop Qualifier coming out in Feb. What do you think would be the best ride for the zx10R?

I ran the Michelin Pilot powers and I am impressed. I got phenomenal wear out of them and not only did the handling improve but the grip was almost uncanny. Another thing is the center section has hardly any wear, where the sides are long past the wear indicators.

I can't say about the 10 BUT, the 014 is unbelievable on the 12. I have NO reason to doubt it will be the same on the 10.

As far as that new Dunslop Qualifier goes I wouldn't trust anything the mags said about them. Dunlop pays top dollar for top press.

I have heard that the Pilot Powers give you the ability to ride faster then the Super Corsas on Road Racing Tracks!!!

I would agree with that CrotchRocket. I have used both tyres and find the Pilot Powers to be fabulous tyres in dry or damp conditions, I wouldnt want to use the Super Corsas in wet or damp conditions also the Pilot Powers dont tear up anything like the Super Corsas.
Pilot Powers FOREVER!!!!!!!

Pilot Powers for street riding, and track riding for all but the fastest riders.....SuperCorsa Pros for the really fast guys....

had the 014s last year, hated them. I felt better on the 218 dunlops. The 014s lasted better though. Putting the pilots on this year.

014 and the Pilot Power will give about the same traction levels, but most people are getting far more miles outof the powers.....
