I'm in the midst of searching for new tires for a mc28. i've narrowed it down to these few. any comments/suggestions for any would be appreciated.

michelin pilot power

bridgestone bt016

dunlop alpha 10

def the alpha 10's out that lot, not sure what the prices are like overthere though, dunlop wins hands down over here not only as the price is cheap here but they are excellent tyres.

i'm just trying a set of part worn supercorsa pro's and they are stunningly good but would be a bit rich for me new, (were £40 quid for the pair)

go for dunlop alpha 10,s or bridgestone bt090
if you go for bridgestone get the bt090 not the bt016 , the 090 are more suited to smaller less powered bikes
there,s not much difference between the bridgstone 090 or dunlop there both as good as each other

And don't forget about pirrelli super corsa's . These tyres work well for me .

I would recommend Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro, if you can afford them. They are super sticky and also road legal.

Cheng Shin Slimemaster Pro Super Teflon's for me.

I like the Superslides by the Youdieyoung tyre company.

Those Chinese tyres are just the best! Very Happy

Of course, to get the most out of either you need to polish the insides of the rims and then TiNi them. Fitting them with silicone greese on the bead is always a good idea too.

I always swear by those SkidMax Pro (Death Master) Steve. You just can't beat ceramic tyres for longevity.

If I can't find those, I think the Dunlop Alpha's (GPR70SP) are a close second. Designed for 250/400cc bikes unlike the SuperCorsas which are superbike tyres made small (i.e. 150 & 110). And just about the cheapest tyres you can buy. Everyone's a winner.

Well, on a more serious note then, the Super Corsa Pro's can actually be bought in the correct speed rating for 250/400's, which I seem to recall is HR rating. Most people just buy ZR rated though.

I used to like the Dragons. I would run a Corsa front and standard rear. Worked really well, and trick tread pattern... which means a lot when you can't ride for toffee like me! Very Happy

Death Master Pro's indeed. That has me laughing this morning Tom.

I use Dunlop A10's on the F3 seem to work well, had some good track day fun in the wet with them too.

i've used the supercorsa on the 600rr before, loved it. but for this bike, it's out of the budget.

i've heard complaints about tire wear on the dunlops, in comparison.

The Dunlops are soft, but then again, they grip and they're not expensive.

You can't have it all.
