almost...640klm's. not bad for a rear tyre. the avon might not last long but i know i can trust em,unlike the pilot,which steps out predictably whenever ya open the throttle. problem with my avons is they're fresh off the boat and rubber hasn't had time to cure. it was bright blue when i finished with it.
I seem to have gone full circle back to the dual compound Bridgestone Batlax. They always seem to do the business and last. I got through a set of full soft Dunlops in a matter of weeks once and learnt my lesson, the reality is there's a lot of straight roads out there that end up eating tyres at the 140 cruise mark and a lot of hard take offs being done......

What ever happened to Pirelli Phantoms?
I liked the Phantoms, stuck like shit to a blanket, surely some cheap Chinese factory somewhere could do replica's

Stay away from 'em is my advice......great as a set for old fart touring warm up nicely and last quite well but on the twisties I used to run out of rubber and then had the occasional over heating problem too.quote:Originally posted by krok18

(one thing about them is tyre pressure is pretty critical with these things, gotta keep a check on it regularly)
unfortunately opinions on tires are like arseholes everyones got one and most peoples stink, one mans meat is another mans poison, just gotta find something YOU are happy with

I run pilot powers on my GSXR1100(warm up much better than p/sports in Canberra winter and heaps better in the wet).
A mate has em on an 05 blade and reckons they step out a bit suddenly in the rear.
My old GS1000 has a pair of Pirelli MT09 match, awesome grip considering the size of contact patch, nice round profile, good feedback.
Anybody heard anything about Dunlop Qualifiers?
