Looking for the tire that is the best combination of Grip/Wear/$$$. A tire that has good grip, won't wear out to fast, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Just went for my first ride with the Diablos on~ I've only riden on the Dunlop (208s) and the Bridgestone BattleAxes (stock on the Busa) before these~ I can only say... I really like the ride and the grip of the Diablos best of the three~ Once they were broke in and warmed up, they gripped through the twisties most excellently~ Really boosted my confidence level in the turns... ain't a chicken strip left on 'em!
gotta say the sportec m1's have been a great switch from the 208 I had previously....and the 208 was better than stock. I do have to admit, the confidence level is a bit higher on these in the twisties as well but seem to be a good overall tire during my daily commute.
i just ordered the bt 014 so i will let u know what i think after some miles on them ... other than that i can only compare them to stock bt56.
i had a set of dunlops on my bandit 12 and thought they were ok.much better than the dunlop 205's that were oem.
hopefully the bt014 will stick and wear good.
Running the Michelin Pilot road. Excellant grip and good milage. I got 5k out of the last set. It would of been a little more if I didn't run over a peice of metal. I could of plugged it but that's not real smart. O they work good in the rain too for when you get stuck in it.
I have about 1000 miles on a set of Continental Road Attacks. My brother-in-law got 9000 miles on a set on his Buell. These seem to feel very similar to stock as far as cornering. I am guessing I will get around 7000 out of a back tire?
I'm partial to the M1s, to bad I couldn't get the mileage out of them that I did with the stock shoes....
cannot complain thou.. compared to stock they seemed to warm up quick and stick like glue and the price is not to bad, I just order a rear for $152 shipped and should have it by Tues.
