FortNine hey man can u do some video about Dunlop Sporsmart TT what about that tires... im on Diablo SuperCorsa SP V3 it is great tire but I melted those tires on the street road fast...so Im not sure how long they gonna survived grip and handling is great especially in turns but I need something wath have grip and mileage.... about 4k kmh will do the job...so I will check Metzeler Racetec TT K3 I ride one season on K2 wow perfect less longer then Pirelli but I think K3 will do the job only I need to know something about those Dunlop SportSmart TT ... Thx allot....

[@tomaszkalinowski418]

Tell me what tyres do you recomend to my suzuki hayabusa 2014 ABS

[@scotttaggart]

links don't work for me in US. something about canada only. Huh?

[@justinkillings5689]

Best tire review I've seen so far, that really explains how these tires work in the rain, etc.... Thank you.

[@singerboythai]

I used the Metzler M5 on my Ducati multistrada 2013 and it lasted for 14,000 km and i loved everything about them, great grip, great speed, great when riding in rain. Just replaced them to the M7 and so far they feel good !!

[@beamdoctor5637]

I'm Jealous, I'm jealous because after reading data, living and riding motorcycle over 35 years I can not explain myself as good as you can in 9 mins of video. What I can say is I have ridden on the streets over 200,000 miles. With all the data I consumed and I riding I have learned this. I can't keep track of all the tire options off the top of my head as tires have changed through the years. But this is the advice I give younger riders. Never delay tire replacement if you ride fast and aggressive. Also for years I would buy sport tires and then I moved to Florida and bought Sport Touring tires to delay the FLAT SPOT from riding straight roads there. BIG MISTAKE, on a 130HP bike. Spend the money on Sport tires and not Sport Touring tires if you like to hammer on the gas and also like to lean over. Save money in other areas. And don't ride till tires are totally worn out. Trust me, a good tire saves lives. Basic info but many I rode with worn the heck out of their tires and crashed eventually. GREAT JOB on your info videos

[@peexstile]

Amen

[@Shredhead28]

as always, great in depth review with the customer in mind. keep it up!

[@Nemesislh]

liked the video so much I subscribed. Just everything explained as it should be. No bullshit. Well done, keep it up and ride safe!

[@FortNine]

+Jose Luis Montes We will do our best :-). Thanks!! ~NeilF9

[@ayowser01]

Very informative. I agree with the supercorsa reigning as the top sporty "street" tire. I, myself, began sport riding on the Bridgestone S20, then moved up to the Q3, and further onto the SP V2. Bang for buck, the Q3 can't be beat until you start sliding/pushing it around at the track.

[@crisisady]

One of the most informative & best quality video I have seen so far. Keep up the good work mate!

[@Elvisthepoonhound]

Great video. I actually work for one of the tire manufacturers that you featured but in a different division. You give a real world review of all the brands you reviewed. Excellent job.

[@funkydisciple]

dude I love your videos. the set up, the way its all presented and hope you do a lot more reviews on most motorbike stuff out there. I decide if I want to get something depending on what you have thought of it. great vids. big fan.

[@quickhandcam8596]

I think this is probably the best review I've seen for sport tires, by far! :)

[@kaiokencruz3711]

I'm addicted to theses review videos! great information/specs!

[@NoxMoto]

This is fantastic and very informational. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I currently run the Power 3s on my 15' GSXR1000 and love them! You summed them up very well and I can attest to them working well in the rain. I almost got the Corsas but don't do enough track riding to make them worth it. Definitely have my sub and I look forward to more videos from you bro 😃

[@mohammadkamran5862]

love your videos. canadian rider, canadian prices, canadian availability of the parts all works out. keep up the good work

[@Jayhawkk]

One of the best review videos I've run across... Thanks for the information

[@aaronperkins6515]

Finally. A good review of tyres. Well worth watching and very watchable. Thanks a bunch I really appreciate it as I'm buying newbies this week and these were the 4 on my radar. Well put together vid. You should come to Australia for some epic rides.

[@davidroslaniec2777]

Excellent review! I'm a hard to impress, but I'd say your production value and delivery were top notch. I literal a had the SP V2's put on my 848 today, and instantly loved them! They heat up super fast, and the cornering grip provides tons of confidence. I agree they're rather pricy, but totally with it ...... that is assuming I get more than 2000 km's out of them. Keep up the good work.

[@FortNine]

+David Roslaniec Thanks! We've got loads more coming in the next few weeks. ~RyanF9

[@cohiba478]

Very impressed with this video man, Cheers.

[@andrejgolubev9712]

Haven't seen such an outstanding content delivery in a long time. You are the LinusTechTips of the motorcycle world

[@AMPJ08]

Nice review the Pirellis came OEM with my new bike and I was gladly surprised by its grip even had some rain snow and it was okay. But also have M7 in a sport s1000r and the grip and lean angles it gives are bluffing! On all of these I don't care how much they last I prime grip over mileage.

[@AndreFLennon]

I like your videos. Super informative especially to someone who lives in Toronto and our roads aren't the greatest either. Keep up the great work. Earned a sub here.

[@bradbradbury2693]

Love your style with the new channel really inclusive and informative and its Canadian😎

[@jamiemcneill3]

Heya, I really like your videos. You've got a wonderful presenting style and the way in which you put your clips together using the different camera angles keeps viewers interested. Keep up the great work! Jamie (U.K.)

[@sirw369]

I like the detailed information. Keep them coming!

[@xtrekrex]

Keep up with the quality vids! You're gonna go somewhere with this channel!

[@arturklimek_pl6775]

To the dumpster

[@dvddvd8719]

yeah, he's just trying to hard

[@afletra]

agree. he's good. while the one who comments bad not upload any videos yet. irony. hahaha

[@Ezude]

@@arturklimek_pl6775 still think the same thing?

[@glowmoto8370]

This is the first video I have watched from your channel! Needless to say you have a fresh new sub on the block! Keep up the good work bro! I will be getting the Q3's soon on my cbr!

[@StraightSuccess]

Great overview, and spot on for the PP3. Q3s it is for my next set of rubber.

[@solventbiocide7309]

I just told the Harley Shop here in NW Iowa to put some tires on my 05 XB12R. I picked it up and saw they were Q3's. I didn't know squat about em now I do. Thanks for the vid. Nice.

[@XavierHS89]

First time I see your channel. Excellent! Very informative and professional with a nice personal touch. Subscribing, keep it up!

[@BIGBOE133]

Found a new motorcycle information channel. Sweet! Keep the videos coming

[@FortNine]

+BIGBOE133 Thanks! We've got loads more coming online in the next few weeks. ~RyanF9

[@chipmunkshavenuts]

I appreciated this tire review. I have a little experience with the Michelin Pilot Power 3's. I've had two sets, and I liked them a lot. The most exciting and harrowing ride in the rain I've ever had, the most exhilarating ride I've ever had not on the track, was with the PP3's. They did fantastic. I was riding way too fast in a torrential downpour with small rivers crossing the mountain roads, and these tires did not let me down. That was within the first 200 miles of them being new. They do tend to wear oddly around the tread though, especially the front. While I realize that could be my suspension settings, I've heard that the Michelin's just do that. I'm not saying that's definite fact, just my experience and what I've heard. I've also gotten to use the Pirelli SP2's, and they are an amazing tire. 2 things about them though. While they are DOT legal, they are so much a track tire that they will crack in cold weather. 2nd, one of the best qualities aside from profile and grip is how predictable they are when sliding. If you like to bang down 4 gears and let the slipper clutch do it's thing while sliding sideways towards the back chicane at Daytona, these tires will feel stable while doing it. Again, great review! Thank you!

[@IvaNavia]

Awesome video. Thanks for putting this up. Very informative!!!

[@veritas1]

And I'll tell you that I ride and race super stock on Metzelers M7RR and they are awesome. Lots of grip (always) and get up to temp really quick. I have'em on both my two Yamaha R1 bikes.

[@JohSno]

Nice to listen to someone who actually nows tires and isnt brand biased.

[@dennisrowe3860]

another great video! Looking for replacement tires for my Ducati 999 and this video was very helpful. A nice, quick general rundown. No brain explosions here! LOL!

[@mpeugeot]

Nicely presented. I know that I am late to the party, but I think you nailed it.

[@silverstang2000]

Yo, I just watched your 2016 & 2017 Best Sport Tire vids!!! I like your work, keep it up! New subscriber here. Excellent vids

[@znismo1]

Nice review bro. I've personally been on S20 EVOs on my 2nd gen Hayabusa on my last two tire sets, but I'm trying out the S21s next. Hopefully they are superior to the S20s in every way as Bridgestone claims. If they are, then they are going to be phenomenal tires!

[@jurajgubov9163]

Great job dude. I realy like you as u do

[@darksidecarnival5385]

great review and I admire ur delivery style

[@N1SMO240SX]

Ryan.. Thanks Dude! Finally someone like you to break it down! You made me decide P3s!!!!! Thanks Bro! I'm a Subscriber!

[@enisidor5964]

I rode on Metzeler m5 sports for two seasons now, both on track and on the road, commuting on twisties and going fast on autobahn with my wife. Very pleased!!! I am thinking on trying roadsmarts 3 this year. Heavy sport touring bike.

[@crazycuzthe1]

great video man I needed this information 💯💯✔

[@peteroneill2633]

Great review and you are great presenter. Well done. Thanks.

[@carlosl-f2433]

Such great reviews, well spoken, subtle humour and super professional. 5***** On the review itself - of course, it all depends on riding style, weight, bike etc etc but I thought your picks were spot on. I personally ride the M7RR...I live in Finland...yeah....they heat up quickly and they forgive roads and blemishes...an amazing tyre! for me ofc. I ride a supermoto/naked, I push it in the twisties and have fun but sitll need the basic town stuff...perfect! The tyre which as the topic was "sport" I feel could have had a look in, is the two Continentals, the brand new Sport attack and the Road attack 2 evo which offers surprisingly good sport feel for the road...the sport attack could easily do a track day or two as well and seems to be the new kid on the block for sport tyres. Thanks Ryan. Be safe.

[@ACProductions77]

Been watching your videos for little while now, I like how you keep your topics interesting and entertaining and also like your funny comments 😁 I just subscribed keep up the good work and look forward to seeing your next video cheers.

[@graydation]

I live in Las Vegas... What is this "rain" that you speak of?

[@lightbeam461]

H2O stuff coming from the sky

[@1997TL1000]

DADDY BUSA I live in Las Vegas as well and we drink alcohol and beer which is also alcohol or so I’m told, what is this “H2O” that you speak of? It sounds dangerous. Do you drink it?

[@karlo134652]

Its a calamity that showers terror to citizens on that state. XD

[@mojoleon2]

I live in Belgium....whats that ? ….dry concrete ….????

[@Nathan-wf7ep]

🤣🤣

[@carswithsonduren]

Great video, was very informative!

[@JK-qj9qp]

My new favorite channel! And I certainly don't come across that too often. Hoping to see you do a video of the new Bridgestone S21 in the future along with the RS10 and the Pirelli Diablo III. Have a great one!

[@anatoll123]

ive tried all of these tires, really good video buddy ! I still tell my friends the metzler M5 are the best in town hahaha as im from montreal too ;) Ride safe out there !

[@jestermoon]

great review, never trusted anyone before but what you have to say about the M7 is completely spot on! ZX14 in BC

[@janot3661]

Very good Video and review.

[@chrishastings]

Great video mate!

[@arrokas]

Pirelli diablos for my gixxer next year!! thank You for great videos!

[@SynapticTransmission]

Excellent review ! Thanks!

[@MT--WesleyCrumblebee]

Really good video mate.

[@rexie1006]

This was the first video that I saw in your channel 😄😄

[@DrummerOnTwoWheels]

I ride the Battlax S20 Evo on my GSXR 750 L5. Cool vid dude!

[@gyzfr6]

I got just over 2400 miles and two track days on the Bridgestones S20R Evos with lots left on them still. They are not track specialists but long term "real road riding sticky tires". Recommended.

[@hardiwinarso8267]

Q3 all the way !! ..really good review. Good job!

[@coffee11970]

I love your videos.

[@ruikosta5764]

RYAN! GOOD JOB thank you

[@geoffpoole1972]

Good tyre advice. Thank you :)

[@Daestoflow]

great video. Great explanation. There Is just two tyres I missed the Continental Sport Attack and the Metzeler Racetec RR K3. Subbed 😊

[@MrJayjay0420]

Yeah where is the Racetek RR in this review? It does come in three different type k1, k2, and k3 but no mention of any. Extremely good tire

[@rholmes4581]

I learn more and more by watching your KZbin channel.

[@mannikonvr]

Thanks for great info

[@tmrthiago]

I just used a pair of M7 rr on a Yamaha XJ6 (FZ6R) and it was fantastic. Best road tire for hitting corners and riding on any conditions. These tire allow you to ride safe with no drama at all on wet surfaces. On a dry surface it will provide enough grip even for a decent track day. My only complaint is about mileage, on my bike it lasted 7.500km. But to be honest, its not that bad considering the weight of my bike.

[@superbock101]

good show, great info. Thanks

[@lukeallington5393]

Great video. Thanks dude.

Great videos man. I have Q3's in good weather they are amazing. In not so great weather. They scare the shit out of me lol

[@dennqus1]

Looking forward to more videos. Thank you.

+dennqus1 Thanks for the feedback! We're also stoked to get the rest of our 2016 reviews online :) ~RyanF9

[@spartan8390]

FZ10 is about to spout the M7's. Thanks for the review!

[@pauls1814]

Very informative! I live in New England and ride a GSXR-750, my pilot power 2's are nearing the end and wasn't sure if I should get the new 3's this spring or try something else. Good info!

[@aleksicmax]

Great videos! I like the way you are explaining everything. Straight to the point, all the time. I have a question that I would like you to give me a suggestion. For my Honda Hornet 920cc, which one do you recommend, Pirelli Angel GT or Michellin Pilot Power 3. Almost 95% of the time I'm riding it on the city roads and highways. I prefer dry conditions, rarely wet, but I like to feel safe when I'm cornering. Longevity is desirable, but not over safety while cornering. Thanks a lot! Appreciated your time.

[@Csirkefoga]

Very good informative vid. Thx 👍🏻😎

[@rlbholeshot4147]

Great video good info the Q3 looks like the best tire for the money

[@Awinloo]

nice review

[@negoras]

just buyed pirelli rosso supercorsa..I wondered if it was a good choise,done a internet search...F9 recommends it,damn made a good choise!!

[@Speedytrip]

Great job!

[@FortNine]

+Speedytrip Thanks! Loads more coming online in the next few weeks. ~RyanF9

[@tubergenmotorsports4193]

Thank you for the comparison! I have been caught in the rain and "No" the track day only tires do not work well. Just have to be honest with your self Race Bike,,,Street Bike.

[@bronxnewbie]

spot on mate!! give them the what-for!!!

[@Rricdiculos]

Thanks for the info Bro.

[@Haziqevo]

Great video man! I was also thinking where the Michelin Pilot Road 4 sits in the list. I've got a set of Pirelli Angels on my monster thats losing grip so am thinking of getting a new set.

[@darkninja67]

nice video I just mounted the new Bridgestone S21R's on my 6R and they are amazing. Just hoping they last a decent amount.

[@darewinder]

Great video man keep up with the information.. Im subbed :) Im in the market for a hypersport tire and cant decide b/w m7rr diablo rosso3 or s21 There all very similar but i think ill go with m7s because the roads are quite bad where i ride

[@Juan_Hernandez_Jr.]

Thanks for the review. Need some new tires for my 03' Aprilia RSV Mille. Think I'll go with the Dunlop Q3's.

[@NAZLSI]

Nice video!

[@gregh2008]

Try and test the Mitas Sportforce + I have just mounted a set of Mitas Sportforce+ tires on my Honda CBF600S PC43. Since the first few kilometers they are working perfectly fine. Steering into a corner is so easy and also front braking in corners is smooth and easy. Unbelievable value for this price.

[@CMDJinxx]

I love Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires but have switched to Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires as they are as good as the Supercorsa for grip in "spirited" back road riding but are cheaper, a little better in the wet and last longer.

[@JJPsyc]

Love the videos. I'm trying to decide on new tires for my 2013 Triumph STR. I have been using the Metzeler M7RR's and can't really find any negatives, however, after about 3300 miles, the rear is squaring slightly. I think due to a 1000 mile road trip I did that had a fair amount of interstate riding. I'm curious if you think the Pilot Power 3's would make for a decent sport-touring tire? I live in the mountains of Colorado - with lots of twisties - and am trying to decide between a decent wearing sport tire, or a sticky sport touring tire. The M7RR are significantly cheaper, btw.

[@whitecollarhonda9809]

Just swapped out my 8k mile PP3s for a set of Sportmax Q3s and omg, what a difference. They are sticky and fairly soft so you'll only get about half the mileage out of them than you would get on a street tire like the PP3. The PP3 is definitely more of a hooligan tire though. Things get squirrelly but they're a fun tire on the street

[@mikerogers4654]

Michelin Pilot Power 3 are a superb aggressive street tire as stated. Not bad for a casual track day but I did experience some minor slippage, one being a close call.

[@Nekminute]

I run a Michelin pilot road 4 rear and metzeler M7 RR up front on my R6. Just killing the km's on the rear so i slap the M7 on there as well...

[@craiglydon8840]

Good helpfull review

[@EVicTion_NotiCe504]

Thankz for the info

[@wwxxyyxxxwwyy861]

Still one of the best tire presentation for threaded sport tires
