It's all about how qualified people are to pass of opinion as fact IMO. The mags tend to make clear that it's opinion, there's no objective scale for enjoyment, steering feel etc. Much like heel and toe discussions. Qualifications brad??????????
Brad, you do realise that metcalfe bought and still owns, a trophy? Seeing ad you're about, have you let us know your raving qualifications in the heel and toe thread yet?
Looking at the rs2, water drainage was clearly not a priority. Understandable, as they wouldn't hold up as well on track. Mine will stay purely for track use, nice to have a tyre I won't be of scared of drivng home from a track day if it's raining though lol.
Doubt they'll bother bringing them over with the new legislation coming in early next year. Just put some RS2's on today, be trying them properly on Tuesday at Oulton.
Pointless video's. When car mag's do the test, they pick a circuit/driver/conditions that suit the car, vive versa the bikes.
Ultimate v ultimate, I doubt any race bike would match an F1 car.
Blackcircles tend to be more expensive than mytyres, and camskill tend to be the cheapest available (and excellent service). I'd try hankook v12, better tyre imo than the f1 (and the f1 is being phased out).
I was under the impression that heel and toe was used to maintain drivetrain smoothness (to stop any unpredictable reaction from the car), and to allow you to brake/change gear as late as possible on corner entry.
