i admit to being raelly confussed about tyres now. I have never been a fan of Michelins but decided to fit this one rather than go for new pair when there was life still in the front, - and as a result of the recent write ups in Bike magazine, - they seem to really rate the Pilots. However I do accept that the way a vee twin puts out it's power is so totaly differnt from an inline 4. - I was cpoming out of the bends on about 7000 rpm where a mate on an R6 was screaming out 12000 rpm.

The picture of the tyre does look different from what was seen after a 20 min track session, - the picture above is after 80 road miles, - It did look like a tear and chunking blobs of rubber at the track, honest.

Any tyre experts coimng to the DSC track day?
