+1 on the M3s. Never had issues with them. I'll probably upgrade to the M5s when the M3s wear out.

I ran Pilot Power 2Ct's on my last 2 bikes and loved the crap out of them! I will be putting them on the S3 when it's time for tires.

Give Village Motorsports a call they arent too too far from H-burg and have some killer prices on Michelin tires. I know they have the Pilot Powers on sale for way cheaper then anywhere else I've seen.

the bridgestones are the best tire i've ever ridden on. the more round profile gives a much more predictable tip in. the front tire of the 002 and 003 are absolutely nothing less than solid. every set of pilots i have had seem to slip around a bit on the front when pushed hard especially half way through the life of the tire. the bridgestones are generally cheaper than the michelins however that might have changed now that the michelin pure has come out.. really makes the 2ct a tire of the past but really it was never that much better than the original pilot when only 11% of the tires edges were that of a softer compound.. not worth the extra money imo. i have a ton of time on both michelins and bstones, even the 003 race compounds if you ever have any questions justin just ask.

Thanks.

Wellllll I went to pick up the tires last saturday and ended up buying an 09 cbr 600rr instead. Traded in the gsxr. I miss the blue and the lower payment, but other than that, the cbr rides, handles, and feels better in every way. It's lighter, easier to turn, and much more comfortable to ride imo. I am loving this bike.

You plan on taking it to the track? (road course, not drag strip)
