For those of you who don't go off road...
I made the decision to use 'road' tyres as I was never really going to go off road.
I use Michelin Pilot Road 1's on mine as you can get a 19" front! yey! Feels really good, better than the deathwings (never noticed how bad they were until I got the Michelin's on as I came from 125 land to the strom)
Though I did toy with the idea of using pilot road 2 on rear and pilot road 1 on the front (bastards don’t do a 19" front to fit! :shrug: :violence-uzi:
I found with the battlewings the front weaved at any speed over 60mph. Road pilots sorted that out!
Done about 2k on them so far, surface looks only just scrubbed and good grip in the wet. Tested a strom with anekee's a noticeable difference in the corners, but I preferred the better cruising feel of the road pilots.
opinions?
