Please carry on,ignore me.....

awwwwwwwwww, bless you remembered

Indeed it stuck with me as I found it rather unusual for a Blade similar to yours to have a 17". Dont be admitting you made an error though mate, that just wouldn't do.


P.s. Your slight error is nothing compared with some of the humungous one's I have made around these parts.

No they aren't the dual comp. but it will do. Normally 150 pounds per pair. I'll do for me.

they are well cheap. how much better will they be than the d220's

yeah, only think is the low milege

I have pilot sports on my ZX9R and get really good mileage out of them.It depends how you ride.Smooth and easy gets results,while ragging any tyre will wear it out.
I have a pilot road on the rear now,and I expect to get 8000 miles out of it barring punctures.

Pilot Sports are obsolete tyres IIRC. Correct me if I'm wrong by all means but I heard they were no longer in production.

ANYWAY shouldn't this be in the TYRES section?

Undoubtably why they're going cheap, but that doesn't mean they're bad.
