I think the Q3 is the best street/trackday tire for the money. Only tire that's probably better for dual purpose street/track is the Pirelli SuperCorsa SP, but it's not cost effective at almost $100 a set more than the Q3's (It DOES come in a 180/60 though, which is really nice - helps clearance and optimizes geometry a little). Just my 2 cents - Paulie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple in the basement that I will probably put on later this year. Will do. I am accidentally running lower profile on the front so I'll let you know how that goes too...

Looking at a 12mm drop in sidewall height, possibly make it a wider profile for front contact. though admittedly im no expert on moto tyres ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

Premium Member rowdy Posted March 31, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 31, 2017 Installed rearsets to accompany the more sportier positioned handlebars. I've got those in the ti finish on my bike and they have been great. Adjusting the brake light was a pain, and I replaced the peg rubbers with OEM, because they wear out fast, and you definitely need to lock-tite all of the bolts, but beyond that, they have been rock solid.

YZEtc Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yes, I've been running Michelin Pilot Powers on my FZ07 for the past 5,000-or-so miles. I really like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YZEtc Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I forget the exact mileage I'm getting from them, but one pair doesn't make it to 5,000 miles and I'm on my second set. Considering the grip of the tires, I'm satisfied with the mileage from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted April 1, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 1, 2017 Well, I didn't think I was going to do this, but I traded the FZ in. I intended to get it a stable mate in the form of a GSX-S1000F for longer haul duty, but after test riding the GSX, I knew the FZ-07 would be spending way too much time in the bike shed. So.... I no longer own the FZ-07. It's been a fantastic bike, and I hope someone gets it that appreciates it. The GSX is just such a refined machine in comparison, yet it is light and nimble enough to do it all. I'll miss the FZ-07, but here's my new ride...
