    What's the latest clit tyre recommendation for a ZX9R from the Font?

    Always used Bridgestones on it, and am happy to remain doing so. Want
    something sticky though.

    I used to quite like Pirelli Diablos on mine.

    had 207/8RRs on mine. not sure they're the tyre of choice for the
    majority but they worked well for me.

    I have 2CTs on the R1 and am very happy with them, if I still had it
    I'd have put them on the 9R.

    According to a few rag mag writers and testers, the new Dunlop Qualifier is
    the dog's bollocks.

    Unless you are going for particularly sport-oriented tyres both the Michelin
    Pilot Road 2 and the Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart have been getting very good
    reviews. High levels of grip in wet or dry and reasonably long-lasting.

    Yes, sounds good.
    Long lasting isn't a concern. If they're done in 1500 miles, I don't
    care.

    Kinell. 1500 miles would mean 3 weeks between tyre replacements for me!

    Apart from the fact that they're Pirelli's.

    I have no problems with them at all. Probably because I took 'em off and
    bunged Bridgestone's on.

    1. Whoosh.
    2. I've done plenty of laps of the TT course at race speeds on
    Pirellis. If you want sticky tyres, Diablo Corsas are as good as
    anything.

    I'm sure you have, but like I said I don't have a problem with grip, just
    with the way they feel.
