By the way, I´ve mounted the Maxxis Sport because there was no other tire available where I picked the bike (she was desperately needing them, they were completely square
) and they hold suprisingly good with a small warm up time: i´ve done about 1000 twisty hard miles on them and no bad things to report.

I´m running some Maxxis Supermaxx Sport tires at 34/36 and I don´t have strips but I have some pretty good mountain roads to heat them up properly 
Being said that, I don´t care about them and the only reason I don´t have them know is because the tires are new and i had to remove that nasty rubber mold they all come with.
The lack of strips on the street only show your bad riding form...

Ok, take that with a grain of salt. I´ve said that because usually guys that can ride on the edge of the tyre can go faster if they spend more time working on proper body form which will take them around the same corner carrying more speed and using less tyre.
But I can be lazy
too sometimes and just sit and rail it trough...

Mine´s a wuss, the first few times I hanged off she made me stop!
She said she´s afraid I fall off and leave her alone in the bike
I tryed to explain the dynamics of it but to no avail lololol
