Bt 016s are garbage. Q3's are good unless it's wet or cold or not perfectly sunny.
Pilot power 3 or pilot road 3 or 4.

Run super low pressures in them and they won't square off and last forever!Why? They'll square off really quick and won't last as long as a Sport Touring tire or hard compound
I think a sport touring tire would be your best bet.
Dunlop Roadsmart, Pirelli Angel, Bridgestone BT023 or a Michelin Pilot Road.
They will probably cost a little more than something like a Q3 but they will last a lot longer. Well worth it in the end.
Wow. What's it like lol. If I get 10k out of a rear pp3 I'm impressed.Amen to that.
I get 20k on my rears, but I used to ride alot
Got to change tires once every 2 seasons. No difference in traction on the streets. In fact better traction in wet, cold, plus no warm up time.Wow. What's it like lol. If I get 10k out of a rear pp3 I'm impressed.

Proof is in the pudding man. My friend ran his Q3's at 36 psi front/42 psi rear on his 08 R1, got them installed the same day as me. We both recorded our odometer km's so we could compare when they needed changing. He drives easy, doesn't take any passengers, no funny stuff. I ran 31 front and 28 rear (up to 32 both if my passenger was slightly over 100 pounds and we're doing highway), almost ALWAYS had a passenger, tons of wheelies, MONSTER burnouts during the world cup, etc. My rear lasted 6,437km's until the cords were showing, nice wide wear patch, front was still good, ZERO cupping. His tire lasted 3,918 km's to the cords, pencil thin wear line in the middle, starting to square off, front was slightly cupping.Jamie.... I'm no expert ...but that advice is just wrong
