Had the same thing when I got the nail in the rear last week. Front had only done 600 miles (new bike) but am now glad I did what i did even though her indoors wasn't impressed.

I concur. I've had two sets of Pilot Sports on the Mille. Never liked them. Switched to Pilot Power and they are a revelation. I'll being switching the 999 over asap.

Just got my S4r and these tires feel good only done a few miles but they seem to stick real well, even touching them they feel sticky:lol:

I love the tread pattern to makes the tire look real wide, just hope they work well in the wet to:D
