    I love my pilot powers. Are you street only or do you get in a little track time?

    are you planing to buy a set, or just replace the rears? If you're buying just the rear I would match them to your front tire.

    if you plan on doing any track stay away from pilot powers, they get greasy when they get hot and once they start to slide its too late. id get dunlop q2s

    i love my Dunlops Q2, i remember it was the same brand bike came with, i changed the brand couple times but now i get back with Dunlops , and if you ask me for grip in fast corners. just get em. i felt some difference riding twisties. also they have less warming time.

    Pirelli's making a pretty killer street/track tire these days too. Forget what it's called, but one of the TrackDaz guys will chime in I'm sure. Honestly, it's hard to get a bad street/track tire these days. Just a matter of what you're looking for in terms of handling.

    ^That would be the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa. It's the new replacement for the Corsa III tire. A street tire that gives good street mileage with a good ability to hit the track too.

    If you start riding more agressively and hitting the track more often, you're going to be more concerned with grip than longevity, at which point you could step up to the Diablo Supercorsas.

    I know it says you're from Houston on your profile, but CT Racing is the west coast distributor of Pirelli race tires, and you can find info on the Pirelli lineup here: http://www.ctracetires.com/
