    I'm hoping they will be better through the winter than the battalax I had on and well the race recs before them were shockers in the wet . The angel gt set I had on were dam good and long lasting . So far they are the ones to beat for everyday all weather use .

    Is it me, or do they look like they have a very flat profile?

    Plenty of grip in a straight line, but I would not fancy trying to get them to tip into a corner!

    I seem to remember trying a Pirelli Strada on the rear of mine a few years ago, it was very easy to get to the edge - and beyond - of the tyre! I hope you get them used upbefore the better weather arrives! Or change them to something nicer in the spring..

    I'll be 100% honest I didn't check out the profile before I ordered them . I spoke to our Michelin rep and I was going for pilot 4s but...

    Great tyres, funnily enough I've fitted a set today to my vfr. I've had them on a previous bike though and loved them.

    Oh look its knock the farmers son time. im hoping @nigelrb I don't off road with them but ill of course update if I do . To be fair the blade mould make a great farm tool with some mods. Bolt on a ktm adventure 1290 front and rear end fit a ally belly pan/sump guard some hand guards and a rack big enough to carry a sheep/sheepdog and a dab radio so i can have radio 4 and 4 extra planet rock ect whilst I check flock. Would be fun I reckon.
