Had them on an old bike i had, felt pretty confident with them. I'd buy them again! If you do go for them give a review, i might get them when the current bt45 run out on my divvy  ____________________ A2 Passed 18/6/10 |

I was thinking of getting a pair of these for my RG125 Gamma.
Tyres are a bit limited for my bike if you want a pair that match due to the awkward sizes.
At least I know now that they are pretty decent.  ____________________ Four strokes is two strokes too many. |

First impression of the tire very good grip is excellent even with zero miles it felt good in the twisties very planted and stable.braking is also very good with and without a pillion it has transformed the divvy to be honest i can now push a little harder through the bends with confidence.i have also noticed there is almost zero tram lining either which is a good thing and does not feel like it sticking to white lines like the dunlop arrow max did.i have rid it in the wet a little and it felt good and grippy.also running at 36psi which works well with the divvy..overall for £95 fitted i can recomend this tire for a good alternative to the bt45..
Hope this helps other divvy owners in there tire choice  ____________________ "Nitrous is like a cheap hooker, you want to hit it but are scared of the consequences |
