  • Grip on wet pavement
  • Grip on dry pavement
  • I would buy them again
  • Do they reach the appropriate temperature quickly?
  • Do they wear out easily?

What do users say? AI-generated summary

    I had the misfortune of having these as the original tires on my bike. Well guys, up to 2,500 km they are good, after that you do back-and-forth skating and it's actually uncontrollable. I read a review from a friend with an S1000RR who says they are not suitable for bikes over 160 horsepower; mine has 92 horsepower, and he writes until Wednesday, so they are not suitable even for 92. Also, one disadvantage is that the outer part of the tread, no matter how much it heats up, is hard like plastic, nothing like other tires!!! Clutching for a wheelie, if you're not on fresh-paved asphalt, forget it!! In this category, I recommend the Dunlop Mutant, which is literally a suction cup. Try them, and you'll remember me!!! (Size 120 70 17 and 160 60 17)

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. This tire is not suitable for motorcycles over 150 horsepower. In my personal opinion... On an S1000RR and on moderate asphalt, it wore out even by the 6th gear. I have never seen this happen with a tire before. It is dangerous for dry and powerful motorcycles, so be careful! Maybe in the rain they have better performance due to the tread, but I have no opinion because I have never ridden it in the rain.

    Very good tire with a fairly soft rubber and quite fast in direction changes, so far it appears very stable, even if you push it to its limits.
