We're close to getting some software set up that will allow members to create a "poll" and other members to cast votes. I think this will be fun and also very informative/helpful.

I thought that a good way to try it out would be to set up a poll about which tires you would recommend.

Here is the list I'm working on. If your favorite is not included, please add a brief message to this thread containing its name, and I'll add it to the list:

• Avon Storms
• Bridgestone Battlax BT-016
• Bridgestone Battlax BT-002
• Bridgestone Battlax BT-021
• Continental Road-Attack
• Continental Sport-Attack
• Dunlop Qualifier
• Dunlop Roadsmart
• Dunlop D616 High Performance Radial
• Metzeler Z6 RoadTec
• Metzeler Sportec M-3
• Michelin Pilot Power
• Michelin Pilot Power 2CT
• Michelin Pilot Road 2
• Pirelli Diablo Rosso
• Pirelli Diablo Corsa
• Pirelli Diablo Corsa III
• Pirelli Diablo Strada
• Pirelli Diablo Supersport
• Shinko 003 Stealth Radial
• Shinko 005 Advance Radial

Thanks! -bg

Big fan of the BT-016 here...

avon storms

After having an encounter with a nail in the road on my back tire I went and grab a set of Pirelli Diablo Strada's for only 287.00 free S&H no tax either since I got them in the internet. I have to said I put a little over 1000 miles on them in a week period of awesome weather here in Pennsylvania and the tires look like they were put on yesterday ! They grip awesome and I do a lot of back road twisty's and the handling is amazing, I did got the chance to run them in the rain too and I was more amaze in how good they grip wet also and I mean good rain no drizzle ! So I really recommend this tires and they can handle high speeds too flawless !

I'm with STEVEN14.

Pilot Road 2

Long lasting and great traction.

Pilot Power 2 CT. Great traction on the edge and got about 6K miles out of it.

Pilot Power 2CT's.

Pirelli Diablo Corsa (single compound...not Corsa III)

Avon storms,plenty of tread life and enough grip for me

Dunlop Qualifiers

Pirelli Diablo Corsa (single compound...not Corsa III)

Added to the list. Thanks. -bg

For great milage and all weather traction, I don't think you'll beat the Pirelli Diablo Strada.

For a little better dry weather grip. And a small drop in low speed stability, because of the more
rounded profile. Go with the Pirelli Diablo Rosso.

I have the Rosso's on my 14 right now. They are pretty darn good tires. But, as soon as they wear
out I'm going back to the Strada's. I LOVED them. If I can find them that is.

Bt016's are the stickiest tire I've ever run.

The outer band gets as tacky as a chewed piece of bubble gum spit out onto a curb on a hot day. I burned through 2 sets on the zx14.I got 3k miles outta each doin' about 300-500 miles after they hit the wear bars.

Cycle Gear ran out of Bt016's during their winter sale and replaced them with Pirelli Diablo Supersports.

I'm currently running the Pirelli's. A very good tire for the $$$. Not quite as sticky as the bt016. Looks like it's wearing at about the same rate. I like the profile of the Pirelli better than I did the Bridgestone. The Pirelli has a more pronounced crown.

I think my next set of rubber I'm gonna get some Pirelli Corsa 3's. Hope they'll be the best of both.

BTW, CG only has the best price on the Diablo SS's. The bt016's and Corsa 3's can be found for better prices online.

I'm really impressed with the bt-016's

ZX14 + BT 016's= Excellence
The 14 really likes the BT 016...

Pirelli Corsa 3's

bt-016's

Corsa III's or Power 2 cts. On my 2nd Corsa rear 1st on lasted about 6500, front is still good. Love the way the handle. Had 2cts on the ZZR1200 and gripped so well I dragged the center stand, Thats a whole other story in itself.

2CT.

I just had a set of Pilot Road II's hung on my 08' but I have not had any chance to see how they really feel. I'll report back soon though.
