I wonder how they compare to the OEM XBR/S tires. | ||

I wonder how they compare to the OEM XBR/S tires. You mean the "standing up during braking" ? No thanks. | ||

Im planning on getting a pair for the 1125 in a couple weeks. Ive been very happy with my 2cts and these look to be the next evolution. | ||

Dave, I was thinking of weight comparison. | ||

Wonder how they compare to Pirelli Scorpion Syncs... those things felt amazingly light the first time I picked one up. | ||

I was thinking of weight comparison. I know, I was being sarcastic a little. I blamed the lightness of the tires for the standing up, it only did that with those tires. Those Dunlops were pretty dang light. Too light. I think they caved a bit too much off. After 1000 miles in the mountains.  | ||

I'm planing on a set of those for the 25r this season | ||

It's the mis-matched front/rear profile that does it Glitch. The rear was too flat. It was more like a 185 with a fairly flat profile. | ||

Don! Good to see you again! I'll still wait til someone else tries them. Besides, I need a more mileage oriented tire, and I've got a feeling, these are more track oriented. Gone are the days of changing tires and oil at the same intervals. | ||

No shit eh... I'm on my 21st pair of tires and finally decided to go with a sport touring tire  . I chose the Pilot Road 2's... | ||

+1 on the PR2. I had 12K on mine last summer. Could have gone much further but was going on a trip through TN, NC, SC, GA from Chicago. Didn't want to do a 3,500 mile trip on a set with 12K on them. Looking back it might have been OK, but didn't want to risk it. | ||

How in the world are y'all getting so much mileage?!?! I'm running Pilot Powers now (got a killer deal on 'em), but before that I was running Pilot Roads. I might have gotten 6 thousand miles out of the Roads. | ||

How in the world are y'all getting so much mileage?!?! Simple. I don't live anywhere near Suches. I wind up riding mostly on the harder compound in the center. Around here a single compound tire just wears flat in the center. The dual compound maintains it's profile much better for me. These may not even be a good choice for those that live near areas like Suches. I would guess that in that area it may wear into more of a diamond profile. Have I mentioned lately how I loath you?  | ||

Charlie says they're great once you get used to them. They have an "odd" feel when transitioning from one side to the other. Nothing to fear, just a different feel. Have I mentioned lately how I loath you? Not only do you have an open invite, also included is a free twisty tour. It's the best I can do  |
