Default I've got some negative feedback....

a 180 is too wide for my bike. Wish they made a 150

Default They're a decent tire...I'd run something else, though. The Pilot 2CTs are...

...probably one of the top two best tires you can get. If I had to buy tires right now I'd get either the Pirelli Diablo Rossos or the Corsa IIIs...I'm a huge Pirelli fan, though.

Default I almost bought the Diablos instead fo the Pilot Powers i have now...

...but i got such a great deal on the Powers. Almost 100 bucks cheaper total, and they were in stock.

Might do the diablos next...if my rear doesnt last longer than 5k.

great tire if the BT002RS's don't provide enough mileage for you

Default I've ripped through my stock tires in 2400 miles...

partly due to the whole drifting thing that happens when they're cols

2ct narrowly edged out the BT-16s on the track but the 16s won on the street

I enjoyed my metzlers too...but i think the Powers have been better in the corners.
