What tires??
03/06/11 7:49 PM

I don't even know what kind of tires i should buy for the street. LOL somebody help me out.

It is going to have more HP then your run of the mill 14, but not much more (probably around 190-195) so traction will be an important characteristic.

Cool. Getting a new 14?? GREAT!

BT-016 have been my favs out of the stocks and my most recent choice, BT-003s

The 16s have a nice neutral feel to the no matter what angle you have the bike leaned. Seem to wear pn the center about as good as the stock but have better stick. Def better stick on the side walls.

I have run, and like, the Michelin Pilot Powers, Parelli Diablos. Not a fan of any of the Dunlops, or Bridgestones
I have experienced. Have gotten very good wear, and grip from the Powers.

I,ve never been a dunlop fan but I have to say the Q2's are amazing., I'm on my 3rd set.

I would have to say Q2's or pilot road 2's. The Q2's have beter grip but the road 2's will get you more mileage.

Slow, what type of riding style are you? Are you looking for higher mileage tires, ones that focus on cornering ability?

Some that will corner better then stock, but still have good straight line traction (bike will still see a tiny bit of track use)

Slow, my riding buddy is blowing the tires off the BT-16s. I'm having better luck with the Mich 2cts, also lighter. Some thing tells Shinko may still be your ticket.

Slow give the dunlop Q2's a try. I think you'll be impressed. Stay with the 190/50 and not the 55. The overall diameter of the 50 in the Q2 is pretty close to everyone else's 55 series.
