Re: [ST] Tires (uh, oh...)



I plan to fit a set of diablo's for my next set, mainly because a firend
enjoyed them so much after his previous Bt's.

He is now on his second back tyre -8000kms, but we ride pretty hard -the
high speed stuff really chews the back tyre.

I did a 1200km ride over three days at between 170 and 240 km'h for most of
the straight sections and it thumped my Bt010

Did I tell you the Daytona will pull past 260 on the clock without running
out of puff? - I've chased an ST1050 past 250, so thats also no slouch.

The Bt 010 has got 4500 kms on it now and its already starting to look
tired.(4500 kms is 2800 miles)

cheers
