I always use these tyres and highly recommend them. I feel very safe on these tyres as they are fantastic at all speeds and in all weather conditions. Last week i was in torrential rain at 80mph and felt totally safe and secure-handleing is superb. My bike kicks out 120 bhp at the wheel and these tyres are fantastic at coping with the power delevery. Read more Collapse
