Great tire, safety concern
2018 BMW GTL. Best tire I've owned but it rubs the swingarm on my bike hard enough to cut a gouge into the sidewall.
These are something else...
These were recommended by the shop the tow truck took my bike to after a nail took out my rear Metzeler Sportec M7RR. Within 10 minutes of getting on my SV650 after the new tires were installed I was blown away by the change in riding dynamics. These tires are crazy sticky and confidence inspiring in the corners and made my bike feel so much more agile and flickable. These tires don't want to go straight, they want you to spend as much time leaning them over as possible. My bike feels like it requires such minimal effort to just tip it right into a corner and rip the throttle. I'm not sure what Michelin used to make these tires but I don't think normal rubber behaves like this. I never thought I would get so excited over tires but I'm pretty sure these are Moto-Jesus's halos that fell from the sky.
Florida to Alaska and back
Two Yamaha Tracers (FJ09) rode from Orlando to Fairbanks and back, packed and stacked, at well above the posted limits. No punctures and highly confidence inspiring on The Tail and The AlCan. We replaced the rears in Bellingham, WA with another set for the ride back. I honestly didn't think MC tires could be this good.
