I've done over 500 miles so far and they feel just like the day I bought them. I'm hoping I get some good mileage out of them.

So what are you using?

ha I tried those on my GSXR.... NO SON! Way too tall but they were GREAT in the rain,which isn't surprising since they are Dunlops rain tire with Med compund rubber for better mileage.

Right now,I'm using Bridgestone BT-016s ($189 ftw)and they are ok. Normally,I'm a Pirelli fan but I couldn't turn them down for the price! I plan on hitting it hard tomorrow so I'll try to keep you all posted. Besides,I re-sprung my bike front and back and finally installed my GoPro Hero on my bike,so I have a few "reviews" to do.

BTW I ordered a set of the Rosso's,that's a fucking deal and a half! Um I posted the Diablo Corsa's for $200 a set right?

Firm believer in Pilot Powers, but I'm currently giving the new Bridgestone BTO16s a go. Still not totally sure on the verdict yet. One thing I could tell off the bat was that the Bridgestones need more heat to function at their best. No real slip issues or anything yet.

And they take longer to warm up than PP's

Did someone mention a sale on Diablo Rossos? Where would I find said sale?

True. But they're solid when they're nice and hot. I only use them for the street anyway and they handle what I throw at 'em, like some nice, 140 mph sweepers on Saturday.

I wanted Pilot Road 2's when I was due for tires. I was told by a few vendors that the were on "indefinite backorder". I ended up going with Pilot Power 2CTs.
