What rubber do you use

I'm the only one that I know of that is running some Dunlop D616's on the forums I"m part of. I personally like them. They grip and my rear doesnt feel like its gonna come loose when I lean like my Dunlop qualifiers.

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?

Pirelli Corsa III.

Current is Pilot Powers on the Buell and Pilot Roads on the SV.
I like the Powers now that the squirmishness is out of them... Haven't had a chance to really push them though.

I haven't ridden the SV since the new tires, so you'd have to ask comonboys... but she seems to like them

I had Corsa III's on the Buell stock... LOVED them, stuck like glue, but wore too fast for commuting uses.

Just put some bridgestone bt016s on but I only have about 15 or 20 miles on them. Once I get over being sick and the weather is decent Ill have a review for them.

I have the fairly new Dunlop Roadsmarts, basically because while I do alot of back road and mountain twisty riding, I also use my bike to commute to work weather permitting which is 60 miles round trip, on the slab it would not take long to wear through a softer compound tire.

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.
