I got to ride to work with the new tires today and I think I will like =
them from a ride and handling standpoint. They seem to be more compliant =
than the BT57s, sharp edged bumps don' come through quite as much. They =
seem to be slightly more stable in a straight line, and seem to handle =
in a bit more linear fashion, that is, the BT57s always felt like I =
could throw it into a turn very easily but kind of had to physically =
pull it back up to get the turn in to stop (make any sense?). The =
Michelins seem to turn in to just where I want and no further, I seem to =
be able to pick a line better although it might take slightly (very =
slightly) more effort to turn. This is all very subjective and some =
people might like a 'quicker' tire anyway. At this point I would give =
them a thumbs up compared to the BT57's and am hoping they will survive =
the trip to the rally and back home. I decided to give my 12,000 mile =
checkup business to the dealer in Fayettville AR. Got an appointment for =
the 25th so I should be able to explore some roads prior to the rally. =
Can't wait.
