'05 R6.
i was running a Michelin Pilot Power (front) and a Pilot Power 2ct (rear).
i needed a new front so i ordered a pilot road. it was $80 shipped.
got it put on and the whole bike feels completely different.
i thought the pilot power and road were both similar profile tires with just different compounds. turns out that was not the case. the bike doesn't feel nearly as good entering a lean. i think the tire is fine i just think the combo of the two is causing my dislike.
should i:
1. wait to see if it feels any better after a few miles (10 miles on the tire now)?
2. buy a pilot power or pilot power 2ct front and sell off the road?
3. is there a different brand i should go try thats better these days? pirelli diablo or bridgestone bt-003?
also, im thinking about using dyna beads to balance the wheel myself. yes or no?
