Now with a Dunlop 207 which was a fav of mine at the time I can use all the tire but when talking about a Pilot Sport I could never use the last inch which is a reason I ask his preference and size. We all know Battle Axes which came stock on the CBRs were junk and would slip out, luckily it caught after a about 6 inches. All I was trying to do was learn more about his bike and his knowledge. Anything else brilliant?
I wish I knew more about bikes, and tires, but not yet. As time goes by, I will know more about them. I do know that I can used all but about 1/2 inch of the tire. It took me a little while to get the confidence in leaning that far. I dont want to push my luck though.
