These are like the Pilot Power 2Ct's but just a little harder compound for longer tire life. Rated number one for longest life and best wet grip.

Michelin Pilot Road 2ct 120/70/17 front & 180/55/17 rear tire combo


DUAL COMPOUND, DOUBLE ACTION
LONGEST LIFE
BEST WET GRIP

As I stated above, they are ranked #1 in both categories of longest life and best wet grip.

I would have listed Pirellis if they were ranked #1. I dont work for sportbiketrackgear.com, I just buy tires and other products for them. They have the best prices (besides trackside) on Michelins. Just saving you some research.

I bought my 07 R6s with dunlop qualifiers and couldn't stand them as they gave me no confidence in the bike. I am not an aggressive rider I commute, do some touring, and ride all over the place. I have continental road attacks and these things are awesome. They are a great tire if you ride hard, tour, or do just regular riding. They are in the same class as the diablo stradas as extended mileage sport tires. The profile is alittle flatter then the race tires so upright stability is awesome, turn in is light and quick, the bike just flicks with these tires, and they are great for when are in the rain. They have really deep groves in them for great mileage.

I just switched from qualifiers to the Pilot Power 2ct's NIGHT AND DAY difference. I'm far more confident at full lean than I was with the dunlops. the ride is much smoother as well

I'd say the Pilot Road 2cts, but they're so freikin expensive, my vote goes to the Conti Road Attacks.
