I just started riding last summer when I bought a 2002 R1. I am in need of tires for both fron and rear. I found a good deal on e-bay for Shinko 005 Radial. Any suggestions on those or others???

 

Welcome to SL I'm moving your thread into the Gen Motorcycle Forum to get you some better answers

 

i say race take-offs, they still hold up well if you hit corners from time to time and are sticky as hell

 

Are they good on the street???

 

if u have the money to buy new tires see if you can find some michlien piolt sports
or piolt powers

 

they are awesome on the street, look up the pirelli diablo supercorsa


i love that tire and its the only way i can afford it

 

which one would you go with Pilot Power or Pirelli Diablo???

 

ive never had a pilot on my bike, im sure it will last longer than the pirelli but the pirelli has way better traction...it costs a little more and wont last as long but a great tire

 

piolt power is a great tire awsome traction and good life

 

Thanks for the information fellas I will be looking in to buying pilot powers on e-bay probly, unless someone knows a better place to look??

 

right now ebay stuff for bikes is cheap (winter and stuff) so its the perfect time to go there, without ebay i would have never been able to fix my bike for the price i did...and also a big thanks to stuntlife


ebay is your buddy
