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.

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...
ummm not really lol

Chicago area street riders will NEVER get rid of theirs. When not covered in ice, every inch of street out here is covered in gravel and oil from construction.

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...
