Tire recomendations for a Monster

jswledhed · 01-25-2005, 07:40 PM

Its tire time again. Last set I went with the Dunlop D205's that come OEM. Just wondering if anyone had tried some other brands/models on a Monster and what they thought of them.

Diablo Corsa's

Any good tires for your style or riding - whatever that is - will be, um, good.
I run Pilot Sports and now Pilot Powers (which rival Diablo Corsas I'm told), which succeeded the Sports. All are excellent tires. Pick one and throw a set on, you won't be disappointed

dunlop 208's zr seem to be a good street tire and not to pricey.

I just put a 208 on the rear, but haven't had a chance to really ride due to the weather....have you been over to ducatimonster.org? You'll find plenty of advice over there, I highly recommend the site.

Pilot Powers all the way. Best tire I have ever ever had.

This is what I have rode on in the past

1. MEZ4
2. Bto-20
3. bto-12

All leagues behind the powers.

Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and got a set of D208ZR's and will get them mounted in the next week. They were only a couple bucks north of the D220's that replaced the D205's that came stock. Figured I'd try something a little different.

Hang on in the corners!
Those 208's will handel so much better than the 220's.
I prefer the Diablo Corsa's or Pilot Powers my self.
