and they still got loads of tread left !!?!!??!!?!?
anyway after some err stuntage i have began thinking that i should change the front to a 10?? for the winter??!?! they softer and would warm up better in the wet.

was doing some test emergancy stops in the wet out side my house and thing something a bit gripper would be a good idea to stop this my lard ass bike in the winter.!

take it 10's are gripper even in the wet. or some there tire i could get for the winter?"?!?

mid rolling burn out the frount started to lift Shocked was stylen

I'd definitely reccomend the 010s, especially for winter use.

The front has plenty of grip in all but the nastiest of situations. Also warms up pretty quickly and works fairly well on cold roads.

have a great tendancy to start spinning up if i nail i in the wet which i like Twisted Evil

frount tire doesnt realy get "warmed up" it will do little stoppys warm or cold, and still slipps at any speed faster. Still leans over damb well. for 7k miles!!!!! recon rears going to make 12k at this rate.

I have 010s on my Storm. To be honest I am not pushing it, with it being a lot more powerful than the GS. The tyres do seem grippy though. I haven't had any spins or slides, and i do give it a handful on the straights
