As for the reviews, they're hardly going to put a bad one on their own web site are they ?
So, no I would not buy the tyres on those reviews alone I'd delve a little deeper.

Nifty looking tread pattern. Well they make good car tyres so I guess their bike ones can't be too bad!

Very Happy

Seen some good reviews on them and seen some less so.

Think the general consensus was that the sportier based brands, made better sports tyres! Smile

I've have three rear tyres on my TRX850 recently.

First was a macadam (touring) second was a SUpercorsa (track) third was a d204 (not quite sticky sports, think it was original fitment to some sports bikes?).
Of the three the Supercorsa had by far the best grip and by far the least tread.

Why? Because the tyre it's self was so much grippier. All well and good the other tyres being able to expel water, but if the tyre compund it's self can't grip when there's that much water, it doesn't really matter.

There were a set of brand new Conti's on my GSXF when I got it, and I'm well pleased with them! So far they seem to be very hard wearing and grippy too.

Haven't done any burnouts though!

Have you got a recent GSXF (post '98)? How do you find the tyres in the wet? I have Macadams fitted to mine and whilst they are really confidence inspiring in the dry, they ain't quite so hot in the wet. Previous owner was a FWB! Need to get a new pair in time for spring (should be able to make do until then).
