Yeah, nice and sticky. But they’ll only last around 3,000 miles.

They are good tires but you won’t get any mileage out of them especially on a Busa, but I guess it depends on much riding you do each season. For example those Pilot Road 5s cost more but they will go 10k+ on mileage

So for $100 to $125 more it must be definitely worth it

Yep especially if you are paying to have them removed/installed
If you’re going with Michelins, you should consider the Pilot Road 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. While they’re all sport touring tires, soft sides and harder centers, they still have differences specific to the rider’s needs. Differences in the price too. Do some reading on Michelin’s website.

How do you keep
just doing some research seems these tires are really good in wet weather but I don’t ride in wet weather at all. Is it just as good in dry weather as much as they talk in wet weather
Yes. Where are you that you never run across a wet road?

When it’s NOT going to rain
Well, almost no one sets out on a rainy day but almost everyone comes across a wet corner once in awhile or an unexpected rain fall and wet (grip) is very important when that happens. Fill in your profile.

@Jgarcia6988
what also is a goog choice is the metzeler interact z8 in M - front and M - rear.
i had this on my former ´00 busa 2 times and the milage was
front ~ 15k km
rear ~ 11k km
a really good tire for any weather, even when the z8 is driven in the wet (in "m" typing)
he also is a longer-lasting tire - we call it "touring tires" here in germany.
info:
here in germany "metzeler" offers the Z8 in two types, namely "M" and "O" (regardless of the size selected).
whether this is also the case with you in your country is out of my knowledge. ask the dealer.
2. info:
the Pi Po 3, which I now have on my ´00, was already installed when I bought the busa.
the front tire has now about 10500 km and still looks quite good. - same at to the rear tire.
3. info:
but - the pi po 3 is in no way suitable for a race track - if he gets really warm, (my last year experiance) the rear tire starts to slide away in hard driven corners - very nasty - can lead at last to highsider.
