I got the Avon's after going quickly through 2 stock rears.
GPW was right about the Avons. I'm riding them to 1/8" from the edge and have pushed them hard at times.
The rear has 5k on it, and will go another 1.5k. Good for me after getting 4.2k out of the first two BT5S's.
Pilot powers here too. Went through a couple of sets of The Pirelli Super Corsa's before going to the Pilot Powers. The Corsa's are more of a track tire and the PPs have been just about as good but much, much better wear!
I'll toss one in for the Michelin Pilot Powers as well.
As for the post that recommended the Maxxis tires
I had a set. It was my first and my last. They wore completely out quicker than any tire I have ever had (and they were on my CBR). They DID NOT hold traction and the front refused to hold air for some strange reason unknown to me or my mechanic. Oh, the front also cupped after about 1500 miles. This was with the tire pressures highly looked after and maintained.
None of the tires will have any questionable complaints about the corners(some just stickier than others but they do horrible in the distance...) M1,M3,Diablo,PP these are all top notch tires...bad in mileges soft comp.
Now, PP2ct, Qualifier, Shinko(Raven), BT-002, BT-14, AV46, these are good in mileges and didn't have much complaint I heard...(PP2ct,Qualifier,BT-002 these are new products for this year...)
my next set is going to be BT-14...I love corners but, I do HWY alot...
Now I have a Shinko Raven...its got 5000 mi on it and still rockin...(pic below)
