Dude, all I gotta say is that I'm impress with my recent purchase of my continental tires. I put over 4000 miles on my ContiForce Max in 8 days and with plenty of tread left while also being satisfied with its handleing in the turns !
I pushed these tire to my full capabilities which aint shid but I did manage to scrape the rear cans and get some serious leaning going on when riding with MidnightBusa through the Rockie Mountains, boy can this Playa get his roll on .

At one time on a turn coming out of the Rockies when we where hitting it pretty hard I started smelling burnt rubber, I assume it was from my front tire  

 . After that scary moment I chilled for the rest of the day trying to hang with Todd since his bike is suited for curve huggn while mine is for Pimpn (dropped down 1.5").  
After we got down from the top of route 34 about 20 mi from I25 we stopped at a gas station to fuel and check our tires, and notice very lil chicken strip left.

Oh yeah, I honestly feel by me scuffing  the whole surface area on the tires aided tremendously in my tire gripping so well .

To scuff the tires all I did was purchase a wood strip wheel from wallmart and attached it to a portable hand drill  and lightly removed the top coat of surface wax found on new tire purchases.

Man I had a set of cont. Road attacks three months ago. Maybe Im too aggressive of a ryda. Dem suns of Bity's [arrgggg] tend to walk outward on heavy lean angles in highspeed cornering. Maybe Im too heavy on the throttle while wacking it to check stickyness for rear wheel grip for launching and/or wheelies. In 1st. Mega tire spin on launch. Couldnt get 1st gear to stick for wheelie. 2nd gear ok. Third gear downshifts to race caused alot of wheel spin before they would hook.

Ive tried various air pressure's and just couldnt get em to hook for me. Actually made so nervous to ride on them I took them off. I just couldnt get myself to trust them on any angle or hard hits.

Now on the hand, Ive tried several tires. I found that my all new favorite is the Pilot powers. I now wish (yep don I didnt listen to you), I should of got the race powers. My 2nd are the Sportec M1P's. Havnt been back on bridgestons in awhile.

Good luck, IMO be carefull on leans. Pilots OMG the lean angles...

The first thing you will notice about the race is the angle. You will start to lean and swear your gonna throw it on the ground. It gets there right now. Cut my turn radiuses in half
