Hi Marc,

Haven't tried the 010s but currently I have 014s front and rear. Very sticky 
and confident inspiring for a street tire, but specially the rear is wearing 
fast. Next I will try a 014 front and 020 rear combo and see how that will 
work.

Sheesh I'm having a bad time with tires.

First a month ago I pick up a nail in the back tire, and had it patched 
after getting some input from this list. (I'm still not totally convinced 
about that, but I couldn't bring myself to toss a tire with only 2000 kms on 
it.)

Now the tire has 3000 kms on it, and cleaning the bike yesterday (goodbye 
bugs!) I spotted a 1 inch wide gash in the middle of the tire. I tried 
shoving a butter knife into it to see how deep it is, it doesn't seem as 
deep as the tread pattern, but its got me worried - and that isn't going to 
be fun.

Maybe I should just give up on this tire?

I would like to go for Battlax 010's front and back in the long run - grip 
is more important to me than mileage. Anyone on this list gone from '57s to 
'010s ?

Can I go '020 on the back and '010 on the front ?

The other tires I was thinking of is the Pirelli Corsa - got a view ?


thanks, and sorry for resurrecting a tired old thread.
