Thanks Flame but I currently ride on the street only and will need a new back tire soon. Even though I plan on going to the track in a couple of months, I will need to replace my tire before that. I got this Dunlop Road smart and absolutely hate it, this is the first tire I've wished for it to fade out but it's surprisingly holding up with 10 months of riding and thousands of miles on the pavement. I want a tire that has a lot of grip but will last more than 3 months, the Michelin Power pilot 2ct had a lot of grip and handled the best but man that thing wore out in the center quick as hell

You might like the Pilot Road 2 tires. They are hard in the center and softer on the sides. I have several of my customers get close to 10K miles on the rear tires.

LOVE my RoadSmarts. Awesome dual compound tires. Grip good in the corner and last long in the center. My tires are worn to the sidewalls because we like to ride Northern Kentucky roads around here and they are twisty and FAST. I don't know why you feel they don't grip when railing hard even with knee down. I Ran Powers before but they wear too fast for my ham fist. On the road course though I like Pilot powers.
Opinions are like assholes though, we all have one. Buy what you like, I'm not preaching. I just wanted to post that I like them.

compacc.com. I heard that richies tires is good as well. If you're looking for a good dual compound check out the bt-016. Got a couple of buddies that run them with nothing but good things to say about them.

I bought a set of PR 2's at the motorcycle superstore for under three bills shipped recently. Unless you do a lot of track days Pilot Roads 2's will outturn all competitors, handle more than you can throw at them on the street, and last longer than most too, Michelin is the only tire I'll run anymore after trying some others.

During a time when local bike shops are closing left and right, i wish more people would buy from their local shops. I work at a dealership and we try and can usually meet online prices . I know a lot of you guys dont have a good dealership to go to but at least try give them a chance to match online prices and keep your money locally. Sorry to thread jack.

You gave them a chance and that is all you can do. A lot of these companies want you to buy several hundred tires to get a big discount. It makes it hard afford it for small dealerships and it takes up a lot of space to store them.

SPORTBIKETRACKGEAR.COM I almost guarantee you will not beat their Michelin tire prices. I've always had good luck with these guys and their local to me so I've been to their store a few times as well. Good luck.

I can second Nick's words. I ride with him and I actually convinved him to get roadsmarts. I have them on my 600 and they stick like glue. The centers last longer too since they have dual compund. We like to ride hard and get a knee down, and neither of us has traction problems with the Roadsmarts. There have been times when our tires were scrubbed up from side to side with no strips. Im really a believer in them now, after seeing how well they stick with the big ZX14.

Shop arround , they are diffrent price's at every vender, friend,s with Busa's tell me they love the roadsmart's, personaly I run Dunlop 616's for the grip, on sandy road surfaces, gravel left over from winter, 616's do not stick in the corner's like pilot power's, but allarround they work very well for the cost, smartest thing to do is have 2 set's of wheel's, two types tire's .
Looking for set of stock zx14 wheel's thank's
