Tires

[sleepless_red]

Just want to ask what do you guys have used on your Busa. It's my first Busa and I just don't know what to get when it's time for me to get them. Thanks.

Let us know what type or riding you do. For Touring I use Avons, but for just twists, commuting and such there are other and probably better choices. So, let us know and we'll give you our MASSIVE BRAIN Knowledge on the subject. Right or Wrong, we'll let you know what we think

ya im interested in what kinda tire you recommend as well. i run pilot power 2ct's on my cbr. im a week day commuter and weekend twisty rider.

I run the BTO14s and 56s commuting, parking lot pimping, and casual curving with no problems

I'm using Continentals and have been pretty happy with them. Either the Sport Attack or Road Attack series work depending on how your riding is distributed. The Sport Attacks are very comparable to the Pilot Powers and are a bit cheaper.

I run AVON Storms on the street whether commuting or carving up the twisties.

Has anyone tried the new Pilot Road 2 tires yet? Dual compound so they might grip better on the sides than a usual Sp-Tour tire and still last longer than an oil change.
Personally I'll probably go for some regular Pilot Powers when the BT56s wear out. I've still got quite a bit of suspension work to do before I pay the extra price for dual compound sport tires.

PP 2CT's and Metzler M3 for me I have considered the Avons but changed my mind.

just ate thru a bt015r REALLY FAST
got a bt56 back on it, they last longer

how are the 2cts on these bikes? i run them on my 600rr and don't think i'll put anything else on it.

Qualifiers are one of the best.

I always use either Pilot Power or Dunlop 208's. Both seem to work really well.
