Tires Pirelli or Nexen
I put Pirelli Angel GT on my CBR500 and they were insane. Stuck like glue and held up pretty well in terms of wear. A good value pick in my opinion.
I put a pair of Rosso 3’s on a z900. Spectacular tires. Grippy and agile. But they do wear more quickly- after 6000 miles the rear was worn, and I’m not hyper-aggressive.
I just got some pirelli p zeros and they stick like glue
Pirelli Cinturato Velo or Hutchinson Challenger TLR. Both are faster, tougher and grippier than Gatorskins.
Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.
I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.
I mean, once i tried Pirelli i couldn't get any other brand. They are stupid expensive though and don't last as long as something like a Bridgestone. But tons of feedback.
Pirelli Sotozerro. There is only snow on the ground for maybe 5 days total but for the rest of winter I want anything BUT the loud highway drone of Blizzaks
I am NOT impressed by either set of Pirelli tires I have owned. Compared to those the Pirelli have much less grip and if the road is even slightly damp they slide all over these things are supposed to be "ultra high performance" won't ever get these again. Dry grip is ok. But I find they squeal and let go at a much lower speed than the previous khumo set.
I recently purchased a used S60 that came with new P Zeros. They handle well but have a really harsh ride. Avoid
