    Can't beat the Michelin Power Pilot 3's for getting the best of both worlds, wet and dry road/track conditions.

    You can!!! Pr4's ;)

    S20's are shite IMO. Might as well ride on chocolate. Good grip and great in wet but worst mileage I've ever seen

    Just fitted a set of Metzeler M7RR. They are feeling top notch. Heat up great fast turn in and feel good in the wt.
    Also£215 a set.
    wouldn't touch Michelins. High level of silica gives the quick temp and good wet weather.
    Feel as quick to turn in a my normal Supercorsa SP but should last at least twice as long.

    Yep , have to agree with that. Grip was superb but back was gone in 2-2500 miles.

    That was on the Scotland Tour mate.
    I'd never buy a set after seeing it.

    Either a riding God or one of those show-off tw*ts that likes to do static burnouts. Make up your own minds, I have.

    It's not much harder than a standard model mate. If I remember right all you have to do is unscrew an extra bracket that holds the pipe work to the right hand side of the subframe.

    On the basis I don't know how to do a burn out thanks for the compliment ;) - that and the fact I was also with about 20 other folk off this forum to see the tyre melt away in a weekend would act as decent evidence too.

    So my experience of those tyres is more than substantiated. I ain't what you seem to be, a jumped up keyboard warrior safe on your little island :)

    Your point is?

    I've been on this years buddy!

    So suggest you find out a little more about people before you call them twats on an open forum

    I think an apology is in order here Sp .Reason being the lad only explained his circumstance and this was an honest appraisal of tyre use and conditions .Please lets not drag this fine forum into the gutter ,for no explained reason.

    Jimbo warned me about the S20's (but by then I had already ordered them). Still have them on but need changing next month. 1600 miles road riding and some of that in the wet.

    Great grip in the dry and OK in the wet but wear wise I need something a bit longer lasting so will be going for the PR4's.
