I know its another tread about tires. But which do you guys prefer & y?

I have run the road pilot 2-3’s and they get great mileage down here in S FL even with all the crushed sea shell packed in to the road but the RP3’s are the best rain tire and with the 2CT compound on the outer of the tire is very confident in the corners!!

Not the exact tires you were asking about but same companies. So far, I liked my BT-003s more than my Power 1s. The Power 1s are stickier I think. Still, I really like the tall profile of the BT003. You will use that tire up in the middle and it will still be round even if the sides don't get used up. If you do corner hard enough to ware the sides out, it feels great for that. Normal cornering and not quite all out sport riding cornering, the 003 feels like the bike is going to fall right over. I was used to it after a few hundred miles and eventually it wares into a nice neutral profile. Then it's time to change it.

I had Pilot Road 2s on my ZX14 and loved them. Riding the mountain roads from MD to Mt. Snow VT I found them to be excellant in hard cornering work, and smooth going down the road. Grippy in the rain. Nothing not to love.

I've got Pilot Road 3 tires on my new C14, and they are every bit as good as everyone is saying. I just hope they last me the whole season.

I ride the 23 right now, but was told that they are the oem tires. Looking for long lasting along with good cornering. I need something that is going to hold my big ass n the tight turns. Ride w/ liter bikes, and they try to lean on me. My 23's hold up . Just never hear revues about them. Just hear about road 2/3's. I don't ride in rain. I really only ride 2x's a week.

I have the PRIIs and the only advantage of the IIIs over the IIs is better wet weather performance due to the extra water-channeling sipes. Have not tried the BT-023s, but I burned a couple of sets of BT-021s on the ZZR 1200 and I was a bit less than impressed. They were OK for wear, grip and mileage, but just OK. I tried a set of BT-016s and they were a ton of fun but they were shot in 5K miles. I will stick with Michelins unless someone comes with a deal on Pirelli Angels, which I'd like to try out.
