Title: Holy damn....
Post by: crzydood17 on December 17, 2012, 10:09:14 AM
Ok, So I put on my wheels and tires yesterday... all I can say is holy damn....

150/70 Rear Battlax BT-023
110/70 Front Hypersport S20
Katana Rear Wheel
GSXR Torque Arm.

This might be the most potent tire combo ever for the street.

Within 5 miles this is what the rear tire looked like

Yeah, brand new tire... no chicken strips... period...

The grip was just there... The front was super responsive, I never knew that was what a front tire was sposed to feel like. The rear held and never complained.... This is the best thing since sliced bread... and I effing love bread!

Within 5 miles of first being put on?

Then you're lucky ... VERY lucky you didnt go down!

Future reference, brand new tires, gotta be VERY careful with them for a nice number of miles.
Few friends almost wiped even riding normally.

I know, the reason I was riding was because I was scrubbing them. Leaning hard left and right going down a street.

Just kept swerving further and further down to clean off the surface and heat it up. Was freaking amazing! Those tires are soooo sticky...
