Tyre Choice

[gloryboys]

Evening guy's, Well it's nearly that time again and my Conti Road Attack 2's getting near the end of their life. I have ridden on these foe the last couple of seasons and had the fist type on my RF900r with no issues. I really want to try something else new, so this is your time to chip in with recommendations ad tips. I stand with bated breath :bigsmile:

Michelin Power Road 3's

depends if you want mileage or grip.....however compared to the Conti's almost anything more modern will be better.

PR3's!!!!!!! got 5k on them so far and looks like I might be able to get another 4k

Mainly mileage I suppose, but it's not the total priority. I've never had an issue with the Conti's so whatever I get and it looks like the PR3's are the current favourite choice they need to be really good because the Conti's have done me good for many a season. I would ask if anyone has had anything else on theirs so I can get a better overview.

i have been running dunlop q2's now for quite a while. I do believe that they have either replaced it or added the q3. sportbiketrackgear.com is your friend with tires. always fresh and always good pricing, usually with free shipping. I am getting about 4-5k out of my q2's. pretty good for a very performance oriented tire.

I'm replacing mine right now. I got 8800 miles out of a set of Michelin Pilot Power 2ct's. Loved the grip, loved the mileage, and I'm getting another set mounted tonight...

I have a stock Gen II with a race pipe and these tires have all the grip I need, do great in the rain, and I'm hoping to get close to 15K. The other poster is thinking 9K. I know another individual who has stated he has gotten 15K on three sets of PR3's.

The new Q3 gets my vote. I love Q2's but the Q3's are that good.

Since I haven't tried the Q3 yet, but have lots of time on the Q2, can you identify/explain any difference you felt?

Thank you all for your input.

I'm on the taller profile 190/55/17's with the Q3's. Turn in feels much better and side grip when getting on the gas is much better. How much better I won't know until another track day. The Q3 feels much more stable in all conditions.

The q3 does look like it will be worse in the rain
