Best gripping street tires for a wr250x? Empty

Hey guys I am looking to replace my front and rear tires on my wr250x. Right now I am running the stock bt090 radial g tires and I would like to know from your experiences, what is the best sticking/ longest lasting street tire? these are strictly for the street and being a hooligan around town, so no dirt and I try not to ride in the rain.

Price is NOT an issue, I just want the best set of tires where I can scrap the pegs and not be worried. I like how the bt090s feel, but i would like to know if there is an upgrade to those.

Please do not be a smart ass and tell me to look through the forum, as I have and it is an overwhelming amount of posts so I have just decided to start my own post.

Your help is appreciated, thanks!

I was running the soft compound Distanzia's. While they had pretty good grip, they are kinda heavy. I recently switched to the BT003RS. Excellent traction on the track, as light as the BT090's, although there isn't as much "feel" as I would like.

Michelin Pilot Power 3 gets good reviews. Dual compound. I've had the original Pilot Powers on another bike and I liked them a lot.

Since my Distanzias still have a lot of tread on them, it will be a while before I look at tires again for the X. Let us know what you get.

Another satisfied Michelin Pilot Power user over here.
Had them on my 2008 WR-250X and they were beautiful.

I'm sold on the BT-003's. I'm on my second or third set.

Black leathers, white boots, and black wr250x is "Love2lean" here.

He stated he was using bt003rs tires on bike when that video was shot.

appreciate all the insight guys! the michelin pilot powers and the bridgestone bt003s seem to be the tires of choice. Keep it coming if anyone else has any other hidden gems they have stumbled upon

Yesterday i got the mutants on the bike.first impression on the first ride was me thinking that sonething was wrong with the bike,like it had something bent:-D.VERY weird and scary feeling like it wanted to turn before the turn lol.i got used to it at todays 10km commute to work.due its rounder (taller) shape its giving that strange feeling at first and you think something is wrong..they seem to have nice grip but its too soon for that.the shop i got/installed then inflated them 2bars the front and 2.5 the back tire.the tires also seem to give very good *reading* of the road(bumps/anomalies etc).cost €250 all included.price range in greece for them is €250-€299!
