I had a 120 mechelin pilot on the front and it seemed to turn in too much. maybe wrong for a 88. but that is my bike.

If you're going to the track to learn how your bike handles,use what you use on the road - there's no point going to the track and fitting special tyres, changing suspension settings etc, getting to know the bike and its limits (and yours), and then using something different on the street. Waste of time IMHO. You may want to drop the tyre pressures 3-4 PSI for improved traction (and heat buildup) at the track - I leave mine at standard......

i've been on my bt021's for a 1000 miles or so and love them , i dont ride real
Aggressive but i sometimes like to roll through a corner from time to time and they stick like glue havent been on them long enough to tell about where yet, it also dosent help that i was on some flat dunlaps front on back , put some new tires with actual curves to them , be careful the first few miles or so, till you get some of the newnest off them.

Aren’t theses the new multi compound things that Dunlop reckon are great?
What else have you run kdjack25to compare with.

I had a 120 mechelin pilot on the front and it seemed to turn in too much.
I had a simular problem and played with my rear suspension adjustments

I'm thinking of Polit Roads as my next tire - just to try something diffrent

I"m not sure exactly how it works online. I have a store near me, so I just go in and pick them up. The sale add is on their main page.
