You might want to consider the Pilot Road 2 or the Avon Storm. Both get great review and good tire life.

Shinko makes a high mile tire, but it's not gonna be great if you start rippin the twisties with it. Know a few guys that run them on the Busa. Let me see if I can find it..

Avon Storm. I'm on my 6th set, and I get 7,000-8,000 from a back tire on the Busa.

i dont do twistys, i just do straight highway driving. probably about 1- foot clearance knee to ground is about as far as i go.

Car tire.................will last 15-18,000 miles. If you don't do twisties it works great.

Yeah, I thought it said, "I need a life long tire."

I was all ready to chime in there.... :laugh:

To the belts though? Be careful with that.

The original Michelin Pilot Road is a great long distance freeway type tire. Not so good for cornering as it has a pretty flat tread surface with very little sidewall.

All your major tire companies make a road tire.

Any sport touring tire should work fine. Though finding a 200 might be a problem. Why not switch to a 190?
