What tires do you use?? Why??

[PolishPete]

I know this is a loaded question, but I would just like to know everyones preferences and why...specificaly the SV guys.  

[steelcityracer]

I use Pirellis on my 600 rr.  I have been using them since the third time I was on the track.  I continue using them, because I am very comfortable with their performance and predictability, and dont want to take the time to learn a new tire and risk possibly crashing because of unpredictable or different traction of other brands.

I use Dunlops b/c they're black and made of rubber.


;D

[Woofentino Pugrossi]

Ones that dont leak. ;D





On my old F2, Dunlops felt better than the Pilots I tried on it. On my YZF, it seems to like Michelins better than Dunlops, but I use what I can find at a good price on the street on it.

I use Michelins.  Not on an SV, so hard to give you specifics that way.  I've raced on Avons, Bridgestones, Dunlops, Metzlers, Pirelli's, and Michelins.

I enjoy the relationship that I have with my trackside guy

The Michelin contingency has been good too.

I would consider working with http://4and6.com also in my area as I work with them on other chassis work that they do.  Their service for my Michelin skinned bike is great even though they are a Dunlop shop.

Pete, I think the Michelin's and the Dunlops are probably your best bet.  

[Super Dave]

And you're always negative.   ???

Post something to help the guy based on your experiences.

I agree with Dave. Fast guys are fast no matter what tire or suspension vendor. It all comes down to service!

It all comes down to service!

so long as it's from 4+6 right?

[TommyG]

I`ve had great luck with 4&6 in the past but I`m not currently using them.

Tommy, I was just poking fun at Dave since Baker called him a varsity squad cheerleader... LOL...

(and don't worry Dave, you've got nothing on me. I'm the ulti-pimp)

Did you see the shirt I made for Rob?  It's Rithium...gotta have the Japanese accent.

Kind of like those Veslah brake pads.
