Hey guys im in need of a set of new rubber. I dont have alot of curves here in Kansas so a good all around tire that will last long will be good. Let me know what you think so I can get them ordered.

The Michelin Pilot Road 2s or the Continental Road Attacks will be my next tire.

I order dunlop q2s or michellins. Iowa is pretty flat too, you could possibly try a 190 if ya desired too. Others might say different but sunlike have always done it!
Motosportoutlet.com does package deals too

I had the Conti Road Attacks and burned em up in about 4000 miles! Before that I had Pilot Roads, and got about 12,000 out of the rear. Guess what I have now? Yup, more PRs! I love em.

I thought the Contis are supposed to last longer than that? [confused]

Pilot road 2 or 3 Dunlop road smart all great tires with lots of straight up durability

I will be trying the pilot road 3's when it finally comes time to pop new tires on...they are supposed to be even better than the road 2's, and I have been absolutely thrilled with the past 10k miles (and expect another 5k miles out of them) on my road 2's!

Cyclegear is selling sets of Pirelli Diablo's for $170. Even if they don't last as long as some tires, it's still gonna be a better miles vs. cost deal than you can find on anything else. You probably get free shipping too since it's over $70 worth of parts.

So did I! I was very disappointed in them. Perhaps they don't like the extra weight and duty of the Uly?

Idk how you guys are making your tires last 10k Ive used plenty of different tires and I usually get 3000 out of them. If you don't ride hard go with a harder tire like the dunlop q2's I wouldn't recommend them if your doing some hard riding.

Sport bike tires simply don't last that long. Sport touring tires will get you 95% of the handling with triple the mileage. I have never felt that my PRs are lacking in any area...I simply love the tires, and they last a very long time.

Got 15,000kms out of a set of Pirelli Angel ST's! Grip is great and feel is pretty good in the wet as well. I've tried Diablo's but didn't get near the milage out of them.
