[QUOTE=Rangerscott;207867]Bet they wear fast against asphalt.

With the proper amount of lube nothing wears, it just gets a bit slippery

Corsa III's, on my third set, stick like glue, dont last for shit, but neither does anything else on the rear of this bike

BT021's both front and rear. I was wearing through the BT014s in less than 3000miles. The BT021's are sporttouring compound but have been great so far. Had them on for the rally down in Suches and they stuck like glue. Over 2500 miles so far and not a sign of wear

My rear D616 is worn out so its tire time. Winter is around the corner i dont want to spend money on a good set just to let the winter weather screw them up. So, im looking at some shinkos. I know the ravens are good but they are a harder compound for mileage. Anyone know which shinko tire is soft-medium. Need them to heat up somewhat quickly too.

If your gonna post that shinko is shit then dont even bother. Ive bought several things that are "shit" and have lasted.

Fwiw you can get Q2s for about $200 a set.

Did that deal for my R1. Decent tires.

Bridgestone 003 mediums. Just got back from the Gap and they were nice and predictable. They didn't last for shit though.
