    anrkizm- For the Qualifiers- I dont see 180/55/17 listed as an option. You just running the 190?

    Junkbone- Interesting news. Glad to hear that a tire swap could fix this. Would you recommend the Corsas then?

    The Corsa 3's were awesome for grip and I would run them all the time if I could afford new tires every 3 months. The only thing I didn't like was that they are duel compound. They were great for 3000k but because the center of the tire is a harder compound, the sides wore out much faster giving them more of a diamond shape profile rather than rounded. Made the bike feel like I was riding on 10 speed tires (really jittery). It was a toss up for me between the M3's and the Pilot powers

    I've had dunslops,bridgestone,continental and Pirelli's, all sport touring though. Pirellis are my personal favorites. The Pirelli diablo stradas were replaced with the angels and I can't wait to try them out.

    PIRELLI FTW
    on my bike anyway

    I had angels on my old m2 and loved them, had all the grip i needed when up in the mountains, and lasted a long time too. They will be going on my 9s soon

    How many miles on them? I have heard good things about the angels. I'm wanting to go with the Dunlop Q2 on my next tire change next month.

    I am anxious to get my Dunlop Q2 now. Been reading a lot about them and haven't seen much negative just positive remarks. Everyone that rides them seems to love them. Big change from what riders said In the past
