Looking to buy a new set of tires for my S2. Would like to go with a 180 rear. Anybody have any suggestions on a good or bad tire?? Ive seen some posts about the Michelin Pilot Road 2's. Anybody had bad luck with these??I've waited 1 year too long and need to do it NOW!! Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

I've had Dunlops in a few variations and personally I don't like like them. I'm a huge fan of the Pirelli Corsa IIIs, but next I will try the Diablo Rossos or the Scorpion Syncs. I've never felt that any of my previous tires I tried held in the corners as well as the Pirellis.

Got PR2's on mine, with a 180 rear. LOVE 'EM. Haven't done a real "track day" with them yet, but we did run the parade lap at the 25th, 2-up with saddle and tank bags full...and the bike did awesome. It's also nice and neutral on tip-in on the street. I'd have to look at the mileage, but I think I've only got a couple/few thou on them yet...and they still look brand new. When my S1W goes through it's 208s...they're definitely going on there too.
