Frankly, if it's not about mileage but about grip, the Q2 at about $210 a set if you search well can't be beat. I suspect you'll get about 3K out of a rear, and double that on the front.. Both Charlie and I ride this tire religously as our track tires because they stick like glue and so reasonably priced. And because I'm starting to understand when they 'talk' to me, I also ride them on my Busa. What I like about them the most is that they are predictable, and will give you a warning when you start to get close to the limits.
I already sent him a text. I have him stored in my phone as 'Shinko rep'
Has dunlop sponsored him yet? I think he worships Q2s. And he is the new face of anti-china ads
That's easy. Almost everytime the word Shinko gets posted Tuf is right there praising them. Like google I can easily find 32,000 results in .00235 seconds.
Doesn't matter because now that I've posted 'Shinko' he will be here soon.
Si Senior, You "FlatLanders" no know noooooooothing!
Pirelli Angel or Avon Ultra 2
Dunlop Q2 will stick better than those,
but will wear out twice as fast...

Exactly. The OP said that grip mattered more to him than tire life. If he had said wear, I might have said BT016/023, Q2/Roadsmart or Storms. Price, Stinkos...
Just like you don't bring a rifle to a Pheasant hunt, you pick the tire for what you want the most out if it:
Wear
Stick/handling
Price
To 'get' in one category, you are gonna have to 'give' up something, in varying amounts, out of the other two.

If performance is your preference then pick up the Q2. Out of the 3 you listed it is the clear perfomance leader.

I just put a BT016 on the rear of my Gen1 and its showing cords after about 3200 mi.I put a Q2 on my 94 1100 and, granted the Busa gets more ride time,and there is the HP factor,but the Q2 still looks new.
I like the way the Q2 feels in comparison and thinkin about a Q2 for the Busa next.

I run Avon Stroms on the street. Great dry and wet weather performance. Great mileage and plenty of grip for twisties on the street.
Dennis, what can you buy them for as a set?
They are getting pricy, 298 TMD if I don't catch a sale somewhere.
This is where I usually get them.
