Sorry for the tyre mixup guys....the poll was actually meant to be between OME and Pilot Power's... Just thought I'd stick in some other popular one's. And oh yes, spelling of tyres / tires are spelled different in various countries.

Thanks for the replies so far. I agree with some who mentioned that the BT014's are absolute crap compared to the PP's. The BT's slide out to easily where the PP's feel like they are glued to the road at the same speed.
 
Pirelli Super Corsa, hands down, used em on my bike for a while... Love 'em. Scored them off a mate who owns a bike shop, he got 'em after a supersport race day, leftovers... Gotta love that. Sticky as all f***k. PS... 10 year old SRADS rock... Had a boy look at my bike the other day and say " had one of those, but was too slow", anyway, hosed him thru the corners, really tight bumpy stuff, and all he had 2 say was that the guy that had rebuilt his '01 000 had really f%%$$ked up...laugh laugh laugh. When r these guys gonna learn???:nono :cheers
 
Pilot may get the miles, but if u want any kind of grip...... Go for the Pirelli: Give them a go.... Not so many k's (Remember I'm a Kiwi living in Australia), But the grip is phenomenal. PS ... A mate i was riding with laid down his MV SENNA last week.:( :crying Warren i feel 4 u. U r a champ. CU Soon BRO:) :) :) Ride it like u stole it baby
 
A Squid??? I've Had A 96 Srad Since 96... Must Be An Old Man, Or A Tight Ass... Or Both...ps...code Name Grumpi... Anyone From This Area Knows Me Well, Or My Reputation Preceeds Me.... Grumpi By Name And Nature
 
I run the Corsa III on front and rear. I really like they way the stick in the rear......I'm not to sure about the front though. I had a set of PP and swicthed to the Corsa and I can't seem to get my trail braking down with them. The front feels as if slipping from under me(at the track). But for the street I love them.

Why do people spell "Tires" with a "Y"? Am I out of the loop?
Tire is the American spelling of the word.

Tyre is the English (correct) spelling :)

Tyre = Round rubber thing on a wheel.
Tire = Losing stamina because you're unfit while wearing out tyres.

oops SC1 Front SC2 rear here.
