Just so you guys know the Pilot Sport street tires were just rated #1 buy Sportrider mag out of Dunlop,BridgeStone,Avon,Metzeler,Pirelli.So there you have it!They also recommended that you DO NOT use a race compond tire on the street.They say race compound tires are designed for 1 heat cycle and maximum traction ,I guess if you heat a race tire up more than once it actually gets hard and gives less grip than a street tire,also the way the belts are designed is for smooth race tracks and they suck on bumpy streets.
