Best tires for a 600? Lots of talk.
ive heard a buch of talk about different tires, patterns, compounds, and wear.
im ready to buy some new rubber for the up and comming summer so i need some help, im currently riding bridgestone battleax 015's a good tire, but im still a little iffy about the lean angles.
ive heard meltzers, diablo corsas, pilot, and the new battleax 016, are the way to go.
but i have 2 wheels and cant afford to test everyone of them or just buy super soft compounds, i need soft because i ride the us 421 the snake about every weekend.
any help?

I bought some Dunlop Sport Max Qualifiers a few weeks back and love it.
$200 out the door mounted down here, can get it cheaper on line if you wanna wait but i needed it

i have been using the corsa III's but i really havent pushed them too hard. i have no complaints with them and will buy another set after these are done.

Re: Best tires for a 600? Lots of talk.
Metzler M3's are good tires, but a little more square than I like..
Pilot Powers have always done me right, but I don't seem to get very good mileage out of them. There have been a few times where they wanted to slide but I have total faith in them.
I haven't ran the Diablo Corsa 3's on my own bike yet but I've ridden on them and they will probably be what I do next.
