[sm=exactly.gif] a lot of this is how they makeyou feel. few of us can truely push consistantly to the edge and ride through brand hiccups to see the ultimate limit. could it really be done on the street at any point?

 

Dunlop 211 GP's.
Great tire!
DOT Race tire. I've been using it at Willow Springs and on the street.

 

I felt like I had to fight (or counter steer) the curve the whole time in my 600 F3, then I got the front tire replaced yesterday and it rides like a dream. It used to have NO lean whatsoever, now it leans with ease, counter steering isnt even on my mind anymore except for emergencies. The bike seems to almost WANT to lean now, it's ridiculous, try changing the tire, you'll see. My tire was basically threadbare (which I didn't actually notice until I sat down by my bike, at which point I almost had a heart attack [just bought it used, didnt know the tire was that bad])

 

Yea i agree 180's do turn in faster but wat u have to remember is the more lean angle u have the less contact patch ur gonna have when u have a 180 instead of a 190. I have a 07Cbbr1000 and ive ran a pp on the front and a 190 pirelli corsa 3 on the back and i havent had a single problem. in my opinion pirelli corsa 3's are the best tires out on the market right now.
