I'm on my 2nd set of 12ss and rate them highly in both wet and dry.I also got 2500 track and road miles.I might try 010's next time as i was impressed with them on a Blade i had.

Jasper , thats just the way they felt for me !

Totto,looks like i'm going to change my riding style a bit then!I've only done 200m on them!

Jasper 24-Oct-2003 21:23

Bazzer,what pressures are you running on the 012ss's?

You need to stay off the grass :frog:

012SS's are great tyres for me and have none of this all or nothing feel you mention.
Run em low pressure for road and track,
32R 30F.

As you only have 200 mile on em they will only just be scrubbed in and you may still be feeling the release agent from the mould being scrubbed off causing you to think they are twitchy.

You know they are good tyres as are 99% of the others available on the market today but personal preference will always prevail.

One thing to mention is that they are excellent in the wet for road or track.

On my third set this year and will be looking to replace with similar or the new Bridgestone thats rumoured to be coming out/already out?

Jasp
Let me know how much you want for the tyres if you decide to sell?

If you want mileage then the BT010 are v good road tyres and were decent on track as well with a better life span than the softer 012SS's

My opinions only and we all have our favourite tyres.

After fitting Diablo corsas to my 916 track bike which is totaly planted and very reasuring to ride (unlike the Michelins :mad: ) now I thought I'd try the standard Diablos on the 996 which I had fitted the day before last weekends BHC ride out as the Mez 3's never felt right to me. Absolutely fantastic :D crazy lean angles and not a twitch. Probably could have got me elbow down :lol:

Had 207's and never liked them on any bike i had. Now have 010's on my 916, they felt ace on my RRX blade which is why i choose them for the 916. 5000 miles on and still loads left on them and wearing nice and evenly. right hand is to the edge, keft hand still has about 3mm of shine to the rear (must be a roundabout boy them) although no way near getting my knee down, i just cant get comfy hanging way off the bike
