I dunno. Just thought id ask. I guess your front is the same as mine in that you cant get to the edge of it? Mine is to the edge on the back but about 10mm on the front both sides.

I think Its hard to get to the edge of the front on the road, the only place you can do it is on the track.

Oh my rear has less tread depth on the sides than the middle!!

What rubber you running? I do a lot of streight line riding (from base to home) so I cant really get that to happen. ha ha.

On my SV it was the other way around. There were chicken strips on the back but none on the front. But thats to do with the different profiles I guess.

Aye thats one of the things about the PR2's they are pretty ok in all circumstance. TBH though I dont push it in the wet, if had the front wash out on me on my old 250 cos of diesel and i dont plan on it happening again.

I do get the front drifting a bit when I push it hard though with these tyres. I might go for the PR2 back and the Pilot power 2 front next time see if thats any better...

I need to get on a track day... but im scared of writing the bike off like. If i did then id be up that certain creak with nothing, its my only transport.
