Chicken strips?
This is kinda a squidly thing to do but how big are your chicken strips? Im not looking to call names or make fun of people for not wanting to lean but i figured what way to better test tires and see how well they really hold under hard corners.
Track pics are okay too but mention if its track or street you got the picture from and also what type of tire.
These are my bt-16s i use on the street. I love them and will most likely never switch!

As you can tell im more comfy in a deep right hand turn. lol

Chicken strips come and go ... depends on what type of riding you have been dong the last time out ...
I tend to ride mine for daily small trips to the shop , outings with my misses on the back just cruising and hard solo runs up the in the mountains ..
If om just cruising ..they come back , if om solo and running harder they disappear completely.... so it depends on when you look at yu tires ...
I think peeps that bother to worry about them are worrying about nothing .. although a clean tire with no strips does look kool ...LOL at least for a while ...
just my 2c worth ...

Mine are friggen huge! Proud of it too! 
It's not so much being afraid to lean her down. It's more a matter of where I ride, having to lean her down that much means something has gone tragically wrong. I'm in Philadelphia. Many corners are blind 90 degree corners from a stop sign (South Philly being the land of double parking). Harsh lean angles are basically reserved for emergency maneuvering (Philly pothole in the middle of that previously mentioned blind 90 degree turn).
Maybe when I get my new bike I'll go find some twisties... Oh wait, did I say new bike????

On my 954 i dont have any with a 190 rear tire. However on the 07 600rr with a 180 tire i can burn my knee down to bear bone dragging it before i hit the edge of the tire, so there are about 1/2 in strips. However im 6'3" or so with long legs. Im sure if i rode out of form i could get rid of them, but just dont care.
