Pilot Powers 1st Ride !
Well wednesday i got rid of my stock dunlap front and my shinko dr rear and slaped on some brand new pilot powers.I noticed a diffrence right away.Took it pretty ez on them until today.Wholy shit theses tires heat up quicky!I never thought my bike could handel so well,or that i could learn it over so far in the corners.Before i knew it i draged my right knee today in a turn(outch)I still have chicken strips tho,there like 2mm up,right on the arrow.So far so good

The tires are great , ive had them on my bike for a while , and their the only tires ive come across i felt confident enough in to drop into the turns.. I have worn off the lettering on the very edge of the tires....Cant do that on the stock dunslops or battleaxes

I might buy a set to see if it'll fix my wobbly bike problem. Damn money, ugh...

The factory tires are a harder compound rubber.. Same principle of vehicles... I run a tire kingdom , the harder the tread compound , the longer their gonna last , but the rougher ride it will be.. Pilot powers wont last as long as the factor slops or battleaxes being put through the same conditions and miles , but they will out perform them with ease..What kinda wobble do you have , if your tire isnt seperating or low on air , then u might not have a tire issue.
