anyone had any experiance with these?
$145 for a set seems too cheap to me.

 

I was looking for a new tire last week and saw them I didn't cheap out but I am interested if they are any good.

 

em the set cost as much as one PP rear. I'll pass, but I have met a guy that loves them, and saw where several hate em. If you drag race (on a track) or love doing burn outs. Then IMO they are ok. Would I trust em hugging the twisties like I try to do?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

i bought myself a 009 tire and didn't have a chance still to ride and test it out. if i do, i'll try to compare them to my dunlop sportmax with which i bought the bike

 

They are great for the price I believe they got 4 stars out of 5 on cycle world mag, they say they are not track tires obviously but they preform just fine if not great on the street for regular twisty riding. Drag racers LOVE them too.

 

+1.

From what I have been told, they are thicker (and heavier) and they last longer for drag racing (and they are cheaper). You can tell by looking at the profile that they wouldn't be the best for curves.

 

thanks for the info.
i ordered them due to most of my miles are highway back and forth
to work so ill let you know what i think of them, granted im not a hard

yeah let me know, how you like them. plus how well they handle wet streets.

 

I took mine out this last weekend, its 40 degrees and wet here. The bike is a 929re with a few add ons. The tyres did very well on the wet, didnt push them hard cause its cold still and the salt and pot holes make for an adventure anyway. they are the 009 in a 120 f and 180 rear

 

I have one (back tire) on my F2... it is fine, but obviously not of the same quality as the PP on the front. I am sure you won't have any complaints while commuting on them.
