[fungames43232]

I know these prices are for both front and back....shipped.

 

[RDLYN13000]

looks like $296.98 for the set of metzeler sportec m3 and im pretty sure thats shipped

 

[fungames43232]

So would that be the same set of M-3 for 215 on ebay?

I can do $269 shipped on the BT16's or BT003RS's for ZX10R members until the end of the month (August)

M3 imo

Well if your trying to keep costs down stay away from track tires.....
Anyway off that list I would go with the 016 in 190/55 rear, have that on my 05 and it's great. But the truth is you should buy the tires that fit the way you ride. If you commute like 100m a day, you should buy a tire that does that, even if you have to pay a bit more at the start. If you like a tire drops you fast into turns buy the Powers, you like nutral handling get the M3's. IMO by the time you have to get them mounted it's really not worth looking to save 30-40$ if you end up with something you don't like or wears out in 3000M. There are no truly bad tires anymore, we just like what we are used too. Just my thoughts.

I would def stay away from the shinko's they IMO are crap, i bought one just because it was all they had in my size and i needed one but it is a terrible tire!

thats a different tire, ive never even heard of them check out the (metzeler sportec m3) thats the brand and model

 

[fungames43232]

They must be track tires then....don't think I need a dedicated track tire.

If you ride alot go with the metzelers, I just got a pilot road 2 tire and it looks pretty good for mileage/grip balance. Changing out a rear in less than 3k miles sucks if u ride alot....

Ok then noted. Shinko's are out.

 

[justins07zx10]

how many miles do most you guys get out of tires im looking for something that will last a lil longer than 5000 miles.

 

[fungames43232]

So that brings me to these so the Bridgestone 002's for $210/$222 or the 003's sound like a pretty safe bet then..

I think u want some of above

You are correct. The more I read the BT16's are sounding pretty good for me.

Im gonna be going with the bt016 next tire change... Im saving for a tire changer right now so i dont have to pay anyone to do that..
