My old roommate runs Q2s and couldn't be happier with them. He rides aggressively and pushing a bit more power through his bike. I haven't checked to see how they're wearing for him. This is a guy that will throw down gobs of cash for the latest and greatest without thinking twice though. I, on the other hand, am not made of money.

I was looking into Conti Motions because I was led to believe from reviews that they would last 5-6000 miles. Maybe 7000 if I really behave. When I asked a very knowledgeable parts guy at my local shop if he could get continentals in, he highly recommended them. We were looking at Pilot Roads for me before that but after I mentioned Conti Motions he said they would last longer per dollar with my riding style and I wouldn't be disappointed. Their grip is apparently also very suprising, as long as you remember they are NOT race tires, they are sport touring tires.

I've been looking at tires too lately since my back tire on my '04 600 are still stock! ( I know, crazy right?) But my bike only has 9k miles on it now, and i got it at 6k miles when i bought it in December.

I was looking at the tires i've heard mentioned here - especially the pr2-3 (I would definitely go with the 3 if i choose between these)

But another tire i was looking at, which i didn't see mentioned here (although, almost when someone mentioned Diablo's from perelli ) was the Pirelli Angel tires; they seem really awesome, and the reviews match, setting records even. What's everyone's thoughts on these? If i don't hear back soon enough, I'll probably just go with the PR3's; i ride my bike everyday to work - it's my only vehicle so you can just about imagine i'll put a bit of wear on them, just thought i'd see what folks had to say (:

^ I would take his advice over anyones for tires... especially in the sport touring realm.
