just tried out my new Pilot Roads, dual compound, and they were better than I expected. A lot of grip on very tight back roads, warmed up fast, very comfortable on the highway. did a total of about 150 km of two lane switchbacks going up and very very tight and narrow (for Japan) switchbacks going down the other side of a dead volcano. My buddy was on a Tuono R and he is bloody fast, but he did not press the point and we had a fast, but safe tour. tires gave me no insecure moments at all. Now I wonder how they will wear. Oh yeah, he had about 2300 km on his Tuono R and the Pirellis were getting close to exchange time....he does ride hard though.
