| There's a tire test in the new Sport Rider (I think it was) and they ran quite a few top tires. They ran the Conti Sport Attack and it didn't fair to well compared to the results of the others. Dunlop has a new coming out called simply the "Qualifier" which I think is replacing the 208 line up. It came out on top of the test. The Pilot Power and Bridgestone BT-014 (which is my recommendation) basically tied for second. Cool thing about this test is it was all on the street. No track time. Each tire was also tested on two different bikes for comparitave results. A GSXR 1000 and a CBR600RR. Great test. Best I've seen in a while, IMO. Very "real world" kinda test. I have the Powers on my 749 and the BT-014's on my SS. Very impressed with both but so impressed with the BT's that I will most likely be putting them on my 749 next. Honestly, for the street, they are so close it came down to looks for me as far as choosing the BT. But that's just me. |
