If it’s close to Pilot Power 3’s price … I’ll go with the Q3’s. I loved my Q2’s

The voice over is Dave Despain from wind tunnel…:rofl

A product that is engineered, developed _AND_ manufactured in the USA that is _BOTH_ competitive in performance and price; it is a no brainier. :number1

Will be looking forward to another tire shootout from Motorcycle USA.

I’m the kind of person who loves Excel spreadsheets/planning (be it for my car or a road trip lol)…so I have kind of planned out my plans for the Ninja 300 including what parts I want to buy, where to get them from, etc. I have been doing a lot of research/reading of various bits and pieces…

Kind of on the same topic, since this is one of the tires I saw. For the Ninja 300 or that type of bike and what I will be using it for (cruising around and/or commuting), which of these 3 would you recommend?

This here Q3, Pilot Road 3, or Pilot Power 3? Right now, I have the Pilot Road 3’s penciled in. Stock size is 110F/140R but they don’t have 140 so I’ve penciled in 120F/150R.

EDIT: NVM, rear only comes in 160+. Which would you pick between the Road 3 or Power 3?

I say just ride the stock tire until they are gone, then find wherever that is on sale from a name brand.

I hear you, I don’t NEED them, but I do want to try them.
