So I posted a thread awhile back asking about how safe it was to run on my rear tire. And I found out that I pretty much made a dumb ass move by getting my tire to that point. I cut the tire up to show ya how thin it really was, came out to about the width of a Suzuki key. And the final picture is my new Qualifier, decided to ride more on twisty roads then to commute with it on the highway. These tires even though I know they are not the best feel so much better then the stock ones, but anywho just wanted to show what it looked like.

WOW! I though I let my stocker rear get thin . . .
Well I did a big burnout one time on my Stock BT014 so i had a major flat spot. It sucks, Its hard to hold leans very scary at highspeeds. I rode a buddy of mines 07 CBR with qualifiers and they made me realize how good tire felt. When i got the bike i was a fairly new rider so never really leaned it but once i got comfortable i was like WTF. So ended up getting Pilot Powers, thats when i really started giving liter bikes a run for there money in the twisties!lol

Yeah that rear tire believe it or not not one burnout on it. Had it changed at about 8500 miles. Yeah these qualifiers give me a world of confidence finally starting to hang off the bike and just have fun with it, other then speeding in a straight line, and going no faster then my Saturn in turns. How big of a difference are those pilot powers, other then the fact that they get used up fairly quickly. I had those on order but found out they were on backorder for a month or so, so just had these slapped on. I need something that's going to hold up mileage wise because I tend to do a lot of cruising on it, but every once in awhile start going crazy with it.
Pilot powers will last you about one season in NY( From about april till mid oct.) But thats doing alot of riding though. But Damn do they stick, compared to dunlops it just feels stickier at far leans and smoother, plus they heat up in just a few blocks.
