Title: New Michelin Pilot Activ Tires
Post by: scootr9718 on February 02, 2005, 12:53:36 PM
Anybody have any thoughts on these? They come in the right sizes, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard any info on them. I am currently running a sport touring Dublop radial that is 140/80, and it is a bit tall, and I find it very loose as I lean..I don't know if it's contact patch is not good, or the tire isn't rounded enough, but I feel like it may have contributed to a crash I had when the bike got light around a turn, I don't know...anyway, wanted to see if anyone knew anything about these new activ tires

bump...any thoughts on this tire from anyone? My front tire is toast, and my back has a bit to go, but I'd like to get a matched set... :cheers:
