Hey Bees, assuming you're referring to the M7RRs, that's a pretty unexpected experience for that tire. One of the blokes I ride with about a thousand miles a year has had them on his VFR800 for over a year now and he likes them a lot. As it's the UK hereHave a question in the sport tech's. Fellow rider had a set in the rain and said they were like riding on sheet ice and it wasn't coming down that hard. Anyone else had this same result? It pushed him down to 10 mph in the turns and the bike felt like it was loose all the time. It's not his riding skill either that caused it. I have seen him chase down a skilled track rider on a cbr100rr.
Added to the list, Mikey.Where's the Storm 3Ds ;o)
Curious yes I am wondering if it was a pressure issue. I am a firm believer in running 42 at both ends. I actually suspect low pressure may have been the culprit. Causing the tire to possibly flat foot enough to trap the water under it. That's why I am asking others to find out the results of thier riding with them and the pressure and bike it's onHey Bees, assuming you're referring to the M7RRs, that's a pretty unexpected experience for that tire. One of the blokes I ride with about a thousand miles a year has had them on his VFR800 for over a year now and he likes them a lot. As it's the UK here, inevitably a few hundred of those miles were in the wet. The old poll says there are a couple of members on them, maybe someone who actually has them will pipe up.
Just mounted a set this afternoon. Will be riding her next week. Seems a much sharper profile front compared to my Angel GTs on the VFR.I think I am going to give the Roadtec 01's a try. No reason other than I use PR4's on the ST and it is a chance to evaluate something else. Not truly apples to apples I know but what the hey. How bad can they be?! All I have to do now is wait until they are off back order up here in the frozen north.
