Me too, in my bout of insomnia the other night I had them to within about 5mm of the edge on the back and could have had it over further,

If Sid Squid says they're alright on his SV thou, then I for one would give that a fair amount of credence. Dealers tend to tell you about what they want to sell you.

Also recommended to me by a guy who has them on his Fazer 1000.
I think they're great on my 650. |

Just had a set of these fitted to replace the factory D220's, very good tyres IMO, dealer actually recommended them where I was
Anyway, bike feels much more secure especially in the wet.....although my old rear was very square. Most importantly, they're cheap |

I'd be interested to see how long they would last on an SV 'Lite' , less weight and torque could possibly even make these 10,000 mile tyres. Initial inpressions of grip and handling have been reinforced in the time I've had them, and they are particularly good in the wet. I cannot possibly understand what 'issues' have been raised over these tyres, they are excellent all rounders, particularly so in the wet, sensibly priced and definately long lasting, these are very clearly tyres intended for road use, and their function is obviously biased toward that, if that's what you need, buy some, I heartily recommend them for that. If you want tyres that are shagged in 1500 miles, so that everyone can see what a 'geezer' you are, spend your money elsewhere.

Road Attacks are great! Done 500 miles on them now, and I've been leaning more and taking corners quicker since I rode out of the shop (previously D207s).
At 160 quid for the pair, can't beat them, at least for my use - commuting and IAM at the weekends. |
