Tire guru opinions wanted...

I had them on two FZ1's and loved them. I clearly was't pushing them as hard as you appear to be pushing your tires though.

When riden aggressively, front and rear tires wear on opposite sides due to the fact that you are turning one way or the other more smoothly. Most of us are more comfortable turning one way rather than the other. Your rears wear because you are powering through the corners harder. The fronts wear on the opposite side because you are not powering through the corners as smooth or hard and therefore plowing the front tire more. Additionally probably sometimes scrubbing speed through the corner entry. Some of my sets do the same thing...especially when riding hard 2up.

As far as which tire to try that will last longer yet still provide good grip...Let me know if you find it!

Found a dealer with a preowned 950. I am taking it on a twisty test ride tomorrow or early next week. I hope to be a retard too!

That bike sure looks leanier than many others.

Ahh, a tire Guru. Looks like I power out of left handers as I can see through the corner whereas in the right hand corner I can't see through due to the trees or a mountain. I would suspect I plow some to the right scrubbing speed without clear vision through the whole corner.

Baaaah!

Might as well bring the check book, once you ride it the Orange will rub off on ya.

 

Let us know how the test ride goes.
