For what it's worth the factory tires on my cbr300 were shockingly shit. When warm, however, is like your bike being on a railroad track. I swear they are vacuum powered or something, best upgrade in feel/confidence in the world.
I just changed my Pirellis with Michelin last week. The Pirellis have amazing grip but for commuting they wore within a year. The Michelins that I just got are better for touring. So I would recommend the Michelins!
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.
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.
I replaced the Pirellis on ours due to excessive road noise at about 50,000 miles. Had plenty of tread life left but I was tired of the noise. Went with a Nitto tire that was an improvement over the Pirellis but will probably try a Michelin on my next set
Had these tires for 4 years with approximately 50,000 km on them. I noticed that 1 out of 4 is starting to crumble like this. I mainly do city driving.
I hated the Pirellis on my M3P, and only got ~4500 miles on the rear due to an absolute sh*t alignment from the factory. Plus there is no treadwear warranty on the Pirelli. Ferrari forums will attest that these tires are generally horrible on life. Swapped the rears for Michelin PS4 summer tires (they also have an EV version with the foam to help with noise, and have a treadwear warranty).
