pilot power 2cts. or regular pilot powers.

All preference really. Never heard anyone really complain about either of those.

ive been hooked on pirelli diablos series for a while now. the diablo is a great tire for all around riding. i got about 6500 miles out of it and ive put a knee down riding on em. my personal favorite on that line is the corsa III though. dual compound.. great traction.. i get an average of about 4500 on em though. i went cheap on it the last time and put a supercorsa takeoff on. ive been having a few slippage issues, but the tire was beat on the track and was a little blued.

that being said.. i dont know anyone around here who sells em. then again, im fresh to riding in this area and still looking for a shop.
