I wanted to spend the extra money for some good tires after trying nearly every single brand out there and although I've been pretty happy with Dunlop's in the past I TRULY LOVE these TIRES Best Grip Ever !!! plus super quick warm up time and they feel like the bike could drive itself with these tires the sense of confidence while riding with these tires is amazing to say the least. I have a 2008 1000rr Honda CBR and 2003 Honda CBR 600rr (PIRELLI'S on 600) after I'm done with the pirelli's I'm definitely getting These PILOT's On the 600rr as well!
