The qualifiers just didnt seem to last on my heavy girl. Must be the POWA!!!!! LOL


The rear would have a flat spot in 3 months. Pretty sure I'll never go back to them.

I had a good run with them on my Old bike...So I figured Ill give them a go again on the new one...They were a good deal so If i dont like them I can always switch and not feel bad about speding money on a tire I dont like.

And they take longer to warm up than PP's

I've done over 500 miles so far and they feel just like the day I bought them. I'm hoping I get some good mileage out of them.











So what are you using?
holy dual sport tire batman!!

True. But they're solid when they're nice and hot. I only use them for the street anyway and they handle what I throw at 'em, like some nice, 140 mph sweepers on Saturday.
