Why the prob with the OEMs?

I haven't faulted them since scrubbing them in (though U di get them a bit warm with the first 20 miles on the private test track!

I just find that they feel a bit too "ungrippy"(for lack of a better word) even when warm...and yes I do warm them up before I start riding "properly".

I just don't find them any worse than the 020 front and rear combo I had before.

The front washes outif I really push hard, the rear steps out on roundabouts if I hit the load handle too early

...Which is why I am really keen to try the conti road attacks or similar :wink:

I just cannot justify spending £170 on tyres when the ones I have on the bike are nowhere near ready to be turfed out the door :shock:
