Aye, I've stuck with the storms after I found they stuck better than sports dunlops and were much much better in the wet.

THE BIG QUESTION!

What tyre is on the front?
What do you use the bike for?

Never used them but the storms honestly aren't bad on a dry day!

I've been pretty close to berlin riding rapidly with race-scrubs on and not got to the limits of the storms except for the odd twitch

Should've said the storms outlasted the dunlop D208r's slightly too, and definitely had a harder time.

Even keeping sight of him on an sv with storms fitted definitely says something about the storms though. When/if summer comes round again I might try the storm VP2 things (or whatever the sportier ones are) if I dare.

Re: Which rear tyre?

Up in Scotland I got them proper hot and was pushing a lot harder than that 2-up. I was very impressed.

I think seggons said something like it was "like having the full fat YC back" lol. Although I think that was more because I was not 100% for previous day heh.
