sliding d220's - SV650.org

steveg · 11-05-06, 01:14 PM

The weather is barmy here in the Midlands 75 c , The d220's are really hot howver still sliding when right over , got 2 mm left on tyres , but really don't feel like I can push them any harder without coming a cropper .
Any one got confidence in the 220's to get right to edges of tyres?
Just wondering ..

Cheers Steve

Sounds about right...

They're great! Getting it sideways coming out of a corner - woohoo - almost as good as landing on your face off a roundabout in the rain...

Chaned my standards at about 5k, weather got better but the tyres just did'nt cope.

Z6's are a vast improvement.

Think you've done well to get them that far over I've got about 8mm coz I think there s***e and can't wait to change them.

The dry weather performance is OK IMHO.

Winter performance is awful. Keep 'em for the summer...going in the November thou.

Difficult to get heat in them, see?
