I've bottled it toot and bought diablos. I don't want to be wobbling round at the back with you
Spoke to a bemsee front runner who really gave them a go but when he put diablos back on he instantly went faster. If I was getting them really cheap then I might think about it but for the sake of £30 I'd rather have the pirelli's.

Div'nt woory T, I'll make sure yer not last.

Anyways, just picked up some part worn Bridgestone R10's to try out to see how they feel, every report on them so far has been good.

I cant beleive how light they are incomparison to interacts. Might be worth emailing Bridgestone to see if they are doing a 160 rear? (list price is way cheaper than D211's for new ones)

They bought French versions, apparantly not as good as Brummie ones......
They were also running at completely wrong pressures, but once an opinion is made, its hard to change it.

The usual 31 hot front and 29 rear.

Need to be running 36 hot (for the GP racer 211 Medium compound front which is the correct match for the rear) front and 26 hot rear.

Why they are so different from everyone else's pressures I have no idea but they are the figures from Bryn at Dunlop.
