Tires

Damm only 4000 miles on my Qualifiers and it is time for a new rear tire.

At least there is some wear on the sides of the tire and I just did not wear out the center.

Any recomendations I"m putting a ton of miles on my bike and it seems every couple of months I"m shoping for tires.

try the dual-compound pilot road 2 by michelin

hard in the center for higher mileage, soft on the sides for great handling

Yep... I would definitely get a set of these if I was commuting more.

I've had a set sitting in my garage since last october. One of these days I'll get them put on my bike

I may have to try a pair

now all I have to do is find a place that wont charge an arm and a leg to put them on

I have gotten mega miles on regular Diablos, and Have done every trackday on them. I would guess around 6k between changes.

dave told me about some MEZ 6's or something today... metzlers... i might be a tad off on the model

A sport touring tire would definitely be your best choice. Greg at Cycle gear said they have Pilot Road 2ct's on the way. I may go with those for the REX. That green bitch eats rears like a fat lady at a buffet!
