EIGHT BRANDS, 11 MODELS, TWO CATEGORIES - This time eight tire manufactures stepped up to the plate, including Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Metzeler, Pirelli and Shinko. We asked each to submit one or more samples of its current sport rubber designed for highperformance street riding (not racing) in 120/70-17 front and 190/55-17 rear fitment for a 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000. We then divided the models into two categories: ‘A’ and ‘B’. The A group are the premium, top-of-the-line tires in each manufacturer’s respective line-up, while the B group represent a more affordable, but still capable sport tire solution.
PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP "This is the tire. The first thing I noticed is how tall the rear tire was. It really modifies the dynamic of the motorcycle. It puts more weight on the front and helps its steering response. What more can you ask for? Immediate warm-up time, incredible Velcro-like grip through all parts of the turn with loads of that precious feel that makes you want to push the bike harder. My favorite tire of the bunch and the one that I’d mount on my bike for performance riding."
120/70 ZR17 (58W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2
190/55 R17 (75W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2

"For really hard, hard ground, it is not easy to find a tire that provides the necessary grip, has a good shelf life, easy to install as possible and it is still priced in the green range. Selecting the right tire can be the outcome of a race to decide, because at almost the same skill level between two tenths of a competitor often decide who will be achieved not least through a good tire.
Many amateur riders look around on the international race in the paddock and see what the stars tires mounted on their rims are, and act accordingly. There may well be that it is not a tire on the market is because the big teams often receive material that is only tested long before the dealer on the shelf. What many do not know is that manufacturers offer, for example, the GP pilot various rubber mixtures of the same profile on different surfaces which can be very helpful for the drivers.
Ausgabe Motorrad 11/2008 FAZIT Reifentest
Getestet wurden 110/80 R 19 und 150/70 R 17 auf einer BMW R 1200 GS 
"... Sieger nach Punkten im großen Motorradreifen-Vergleichtest von MOTORRAD ist mit klarem Abstand der Continental Tail Attack. Neben der starken Vorstellung auf trrockener Strasse überzeugt er mit dem besten Verschleißverhalten. Bei Regen funktioniert der Conti zwar immer noch gut, muss sich auf nasser Fahrbahn aber mit Platz 3 begnügen. Der Metzeler Tourance EXP liegt mit Abstand vor dem zweitbesten Regentänzer, dem Michelin Anakee II, hält in punkto Verschleiß aber die rote Lanterne. Bleibt als Empfehlung: Vielfahrende Allrounder greifen zu dem Conti. Wem die Laufleistung nicht so wichtig ist und wer mehr Wert auf einen tollen Reifen für Regentage legt, ist mit dem Metzeler Tourance EXP bestens bedient. "
