Alright so Im looking to pick up a new set of tires for my gsxr 750. Anyone have any recommendations for a good value tire? I dont want to break the bank, but Im willing to spend more than the cheapest for some quality.:lol ---

Personally, If I am spending $250 for a set I would like to try the Q2 or Power Pure. If you like I can sell you my Qualifiers on my bike for $120 with 70% thread left. :excited :lol ---

As everybody knows I swear by my pilot powers but in SV sizes they are quite affordable - ~ $240 a set online, prices might differ for bigger wheel sizes as SV uses a 160 on the back. I hear 2ct’s will give much more life and are only ~$10 more, may be worth looking into to get more miles. ---

So if you aren’t looking to spend a lot I would stay away from Pirelli. ---

Metzeler Sportec M3’s on my 625 SMC. I love them. I had Dunlop something SM’s prior. The Metzlers handled better, were just as stickie and soft as the dunlop sm’s but out lasted them 2 fold. The M3’s take a while to warm up, unless the road temp is up there… but when they do, they are SOFT. check out the chicken strip thread I posted up, and take another 1/8th inch off the pic Yetti can verify he saw them on monday, they grip HARD. Personally two words should never go together when looking for tires… CHEAP and MOTORCYCLE. Spend the extra 50-150$ on some great tires, it could save you from tucking a tire. :thumbup
