I run Continental Sport Attacks on the sv.

The RC is shod with Pilot Powers right now. Once I get my spare rims straightened the I'll toss some Pirelli's on them and see what those feel like. It had abused battlax (sp?) tires on her when I first bought her, but I'll reserve my opinion for later because I've had a lot of repairs to do. I'll post up back to backs of the Pirelli's and Michelins next year when I get both sets of wheel back and with decent rubber on them. I don't ever expect more than 5k out of a set of tires on the RC.

The VTX gets Dunlop D404s iirc and they last about 13k miles with how I ride.

I've got Dunlop Qualifiers on right now... they'll stay until I make it up to TN before the rally... gonna throw some Powers on I think.

How do those feel? Grippy? I was gonna get some but I've seen bad things on Continental vehicle tires.

I have a Dunlop on the front...and a Bridgstone on the back...I really should get matching tires.

Diablo Rosso. I'll need another set before the rally, should get ~5,000 on them. Amazing mileage compared to the Roads and 020s that sucked for grip and only got 7,500 miles on.

They feel great and seem to warm up pretty quickly. Performance wise, I can't compare them to powers, corsaIII's, etc because I haven't used any of those. I don't know what kind of mileage I got on the rear, on my second one atm, because I didn't keep track of the mileage.

Avon Storms or Michelin Pilot Road 2's.
