Trophy #473
Always found it good when people post there view on products, so thought I may aswell do it myself.
following on from my initial thread:

Its now been a month and about 1500 (720 of that is motorway miles, i went to corwall a few weeks back) the other 780 miles have been going to and from work everyday on twisty B roads.
So, how are they coping?
Not very well at all. I knew they would wear very quickly but not this quickly, Pics will follow but to be honest they are just TO soft for road use. I was hoping that they would be more resiliant to scrubing out the tyre walls but they are just as bad if not worse than my PE's. I do drive very hard on a daily basis and tyres and brakes do get a fair share of abuse.
The Problem I see is they are just to soft for abrasive british roads, I have somehow managed to rip chunks..... and I mean chucks out of the tread, especily on the outer edges of the tyre, I have gashs running round the outside of the tread on the tyre wall, Not good. Pics will follow later this evening as my explaination just doesnt explain how bad, and verging on dangerous, my tyres are after 780 miles of commuting.
Now its no the tyres fault, its just a combination of my driving style and the roads i drive, but in future I will most deffinatly stick to a harder compound.
On a good note, OMG they grip so well its unreal now they have a few miles on them, tripoding is so easy to do! especialy on high speed corners, I have a video filmed from my mates car and the back wheel is just in the air all the round the bend.
That is all.
