Michelin Pilot HPX?
#6
Demeester, I like the rear BT-56, but not the front. It has a weird profile which lets me get nowhere near the edge of the tyre, whilst the rear is at the edge. It seems to me to be too rounded and should have a flatter profile. It probably doesn't help that I recently dropped the Busa after the front let go! As for the Dunlop alternative, admittedly I havn't tried the 207's on my Busa, but previous experience with Dunlops has left a lasting experience. They feel "greasy" to me and slide very early. I know that some people prefer this to a tyre that grips well and then lets go with no warning, but not me. I won't try Pirellli's etc until they are rated suitable for the Busa or ZX12R due to fear of an insurance rejection should it all go wrong. The reason I am after the suitably rated Michelins is because I have never had a set of their sports tyres that didn't work well. And in particular, I love the grip and feel that the front Michelins provide.
