    NO, no foreplay. I just want to get it over with.

    Next time promise Givover's body as a forfeit, he loves it.

    Had the BT 014 on my gsxr 750 no problems with them, I felt enough grip through them it's all about the riding style I guess?

    BT014's Rubbish guys .. Why do you think they are selling them off at such a low price ? Before M&P burnt down they fooled loads of us with that offer . We all had a little over 1200 miles out of them , Horrible looking pattern , Crap wear rate .

    If your a weekend worrior that only goes out in the sun then you will probably get a years use out of them .

    1 track day and they are dead

    4 or 5 good spins and they are dead

    Buy cheap, Buy twice ............... Maybe 3 times in a season on these hoops lol

    There aren't any 'bad' tyres these days and £129.99 a pair is a bloody bargain. Unless you are planning some fast group trackdays I'd go for it.

    Sorry hit send before finishing :)
    As I said previously, is it more about a riding style that suits the tyres? a lot of people demand more from the rubber beneath, me I'm an old plodder so does it really matter? and would I really feel the difference? When i wore out the BT014 "which came fitted" I was advised to get some Corsa 3's, did I ride any better? Well according to the guys I rode with, yes I did! Did I feel more confident? Yes, I did!
    Was it because I was on better tyres? I personally can't say it was just the tyres, a lot of time was also spent setting up my suspension, maybe a contributing factor?
    all I will say I rode a lot better this season than I ever have, in wet and dry,
    I do believe in the opinions and a##e hole theory,we all have one,
    I also believe in the placebo theory, if you reckon it will do you better, it probably will?

    Mal. Placebo tyres aren't any good at all. You just think they are....
