Street Tires for hayabusa 2022

[Fernando]

Hello team, I currently have a 2022 hayabusa and I would like to change the factory S22 tires. I usually run my bike on the weekends. I live in Tennessee, USA, and for those of you who know TN, is an area where it has a lot of curves, hills, and highways. I would like another set of tires that is good for the street but also a liitle bit sticky on the pavement. Thanks in advance. Any recommendations?

Metzeler, Pirelli ...... I've been running Michelin Road 5's. They're not bad either.

If you're rich, Dunlop Q4. They'll last a couple thou, depending how you ride but very sticky. Take it easy in the wet with these.; else, the Q3 series, also Dunlop, lasting around 4k and a very good all-around.

The Michelin Road 5s are significantly less sticky, but I've run them at the track a couple times and still expect to get better than 8k out of the rear, more on the front. Most durable tire I've run so far. Really can't go wrong with these.

But if you're setting yours up for canyon runs (as opposed to daily commuting, etc.), go with something stickier than the Road 5s

Good luck & post pics!

If your looking for sticky and not mileage go with the Dunlop q3+ . I recommend these tires to everyone and every bike I've put them on has loved them. If course the mileage isn't gonna be the best especially for puerile like me in Michigan that have to do a lot of straight line riding but for the turns they are awesome and really help with confidence in the corners.

Here is the reason why I am asking for some good tires. I have these babies and I would like to see them with good tires. I want to keep the factory tires with the original wheels. Thank you for your help

Q3's or Q4's
Q3's will get a little better mileage
Or Q3 or Q4 front with a Roadsmart 2 or 3 rear, then the front and rear will wear out closer to the same mileage.

So you remember tire thread belong right up there with chains and politics...everyone has a whole separate opinion...

If you got hold of GAMedic, he'd say Michelin PR5s all day, every day....@c10 echoes this as well and that is why I got them...if those two endorse them, they must be good.

Each and every write up I have ever read regarding the Gen 3 state the S-22s are awesome tires...I almost got a set as I had S-21s before..

Could someone explain the difference between the dunlop Q3 + and dunlop Q4? Thanks in advance

Basically the Q3 is a street tire you can use on the track.
And the Q4 is a track tire you can use on the street.
I just took Q4's off the '18 gsxr1000R and replacled with Q3's.
The Q3's get better mileage, and since I only street ride, I haven't noticed any difference in grip.
I know the Q4 has some track advantage though.
I've ridden the Q3's on other bikes, and used quite a few sets of Q2's back in the day.
They are all Excellent tires that perform great in all conditions.
Grip is never a concern with any of them.

Great mods for your Gen 3 bro , loving the wild carbon Boost wheels and CT Brocks , worthy update to your Gen 2 , both Killer setup .
The oem tires , S22 Bridgestones , are said to be outstanding sport and even good rain tires , just wondering if you liked them on the oem rims ?

Don't get me wrong, the S22s are amazing tires. I feel my busa with a great handling lighter and more pleasant ride especially in the curves and highways. I'm not racing like I used to in Tampa FL..lol Now I'm doing more cruising in this state.

Either way, hurry up and mount those wheels...

Looking for options on wheels/colors and curious what you think about them? Not to mention pics...

My.02 cents. I watch the riders at the snake at Mulholland in SOCAL. They get on those bikes and try to lean like some of the other guys that are near pro's and they slip and lose the bike. Now, if you stop the vid and look closely, those riders that lean way over are using racing slicks! Not this tire or that tire, racing slicks. I thought of doing that on Mulholland and hwy 178 going from the desert to lake isabella in SoCal which has some of the best twistie riding I've ever seen. But, I was going to trailer the bike with racing slicks there and back because if you ride the bike 4 hours round trip then do the twisties, you'll wear those tires out in no time. So if you really want to lean and feel 50* leans or more, do slicks.
