Pirelli rosso 3

Q3+ is life
Dunlop KR448 and KR451
S22
hey everyone, when you put the tires, please also name the brand so i can do some research into your suggestions. thanks
Pirelli Corsa 2 you get the best of everything life grip rain and track
Pirelli Diablo on my R1
The standard RS10’s, I quite like them
QT3+
Love the S22 on the R1, I’ve had multiple sets of Q3+ but they wear out way too quickly, they’re great tires, but I prefer the S22s by far.
Can’t go wrong with Michelin!
What u using it mostly for corsas be shit if u get caught in the rain
Bridgestone s22
Bridgestone S22
S22 all the way lovely set of tyres as you can tell from other people’s opinions too
But saying that the Michelin pilot road 5s are very good too
Yes, it appears to be the one most people suggest. Doing some research on them.
Hence the option of owning 2 bikes. i will run a different tire on the R1 which is why I was asking for suggestions.
Michelin Power 5s are amazing. Buy those. I have them on my R1M.
You can use Power 5s on level 1 or 2 track days. Don’t run Road 5s on the track IMO.
Cup2 or s22s all day
What’s everyone’s 2 cents on Q4’s
Power cup2’s
I have q3+ on my 08 and s22 on my 14 and prefer q3+
Dunlop q3 n 4s
I’m running Q3+ on my 04
Power cup 2
I would go with S22!
You get the same "hook-up" as a Q3+ with the loads of forgiveness like a Power RS.
ALSO… THEY ARE $100+ CHEAPER THAN THE ABOVE TWO!!!
I also like the Rosso II’s and the TDs by Pirelli.
Q3+ even though at times they’ll wiggle on you lls
OK guys! I went with the S22 tires. Thanks for your input and ride safe!
