need new tryes which would you choose?

[weemonster]

All five choices are within $15 in price.

I have a Michelins at the moment but they done.

I feel that a Ducati should have Pirellis and was leaning towards the Diablos.
Oh yeah its a m600 and these are the 5 cheapest branded ZR rated tryes in the correct size.

Anyone have any experience with any of these?

if your going to get teh sport, pay the extra $30 or so and get pilot sport 2ct

i LOVE MINE. ive put 3,000 miles on it and it looks great so far. if it was a power, thing would be squared already.

You mean road 2ct?

[He Man]

yes i do mean that.

sport touring tire version of pilot power = pilot sport.
no one calles it road touring.

but their sport tire is called the power.

No...

Michelin calls the tire a Pilot Road 2ct.

The version previous to the Power was the Pilot Sport

How do you ride the bike?

I have run many, many sets of Pilot Power 2CT's and really like em. You can slide em, but they're sticky and predictable.

I don't get but about 2500 mi. on rears and since I ride the bike pretty much full time, I've been considering staying with a Power 2CT front and using a Pilot Road 2ct for the rear.

A friend raced with a set of Pilot Road 2 CT's on a Honda RR1000 and was well pleased with them on the track.

I've been running a couple sets of PP2CT and they stick great, but the mileage sucks. I also get about 2500 miles out of a rear and maybe 5 out of a front. 2 rears 1 front last year, front is shot now, and rear has a bit of life left. I'm going to try to Road 2's, but the link above says they don't turn in quite as sharp.
If the PP2CT rear and PR2 front works it may be the way to go.
305 for the Road set vs 269 for the PP2CT.

im runing PP front and PR2ct rear. the turn in isnt anywhere near as nice, if you look at the profile the PP looks like it has a triangular tumor down the middle. but its still very predictable and smooth.

I've been running Pirelli Diablos for quite some time now and have never had a complaint about them.

[brimo]

I'm getting Bridgestone BT016 to replace the BT014 on the rear (BT014s are no longer available) I had the BT014s and have got very good wear and stiction out of them on my S2R 800, approx 6000miles out of a rear, I am a pretty conservative rider most of the time.

I've run the Pilot Sports on my S4Rs and they work fine , no complaints. Can't remember how many miles I got on the rear , but I have about 4500 on the bike and am on the second one .

On the !098 R It came w, Pirelli Diablo Super Corsas which I got 2,000 miles out of both front and rear and that's street riding only.

Switched to Pirelli Dragon Pros and they seem to be as sticky although every now and again I can feel the rear spin in a corner but that's 'cause I don't run w, the Traction Control on and who knows maybe some sand or gravel or just the hp gettin' frisky.

The Dragons are supposed to be a little harder in the center for longer life.

I have the Bridgestone Battlax BT 020Rs on my BMW K1300GT and the have real good traction in the corners and feel good all around .Only have about 1400 miles on them so who knows how long they will last.
