Anyone have first hand experience with these tires for either street or track day use?

FireMalt · 10-15-2005, 01:55 PM

I know Patrick over at Motorcycles Unlimited sells a ton of them...

Good tire, probably no longer a "front line" sport tire, but still an excellant choice, especially for the price.

i think i remember st3ph3n sayig he has that tire youo might want to ask him for street use.

Good tire.
It broke loose on me twice once in the rain (going straight), and once on a hot day. (on the twisties)

Good tire but i'm def. changing tires next time around.
Trying Pilot powers next :confused1

Love those tires, don't last a of a lot of miles, but I was never able to break loose the rear. The grip is impressive.

Why cant they just make a perfect tire damnit...

KiNG $h!T · 10-16-2005, 12:45 AM

my next tire will be pilot race cause i wont be paying for them.

RACER X · 10-16-2005, 09:12 AM

good tire, short mileage though

zixx6r · 10-16-2005, 11:27 AM

ok let me add a few comparison street tires...

1) Michelin Pilot Power
2) Dunlop 208
3) Pirelli Diablo

The reason I'm asking is that there is a sale on these for $140/set at the end of the month.

I recommend the BT014s... I've been running them at trackdays for 2 years now and they've been great. Hardly ever get any slipage...

PORSCHITO · 10-17-2005, 08:42 AM
