Now with all the trouble from PS and company, certain requests have been made as to the difference my tyres has made on TII. I'm now a firm believer that TKC's should not be riden over the 180km/h mark as they do affect your bike. I have had a set of the old T66's which I fitted to my road rims and what adifference this has made to my ride. No movement at all at 215km/h, and thats GPS speed. I do have a spare set of rims and they are still fitted with a new set of TKC's as I would change if we were going off to the Baviaans etc, as this only takes me about 15 minutes in my own garage.
My feeling is that maybe the best setup for our riding styles would be an Anakee on the rear and TKC on the front, which would give us the distance and wear from both, and retain tracking in the front.
