Number 3 no doubt.

When you have walked my path of pain and suffering

you will understand my need for revenge and to inflict pain on those who have betrayed me

As a scorpion bides its time to strike so shall I wait for that moment to obtain my vengeance

And my mocking laughter shall be the last thing they hear. In The End, We Remember Not The Words Of Our Enemies, But The Silence Of Friendships

Hi Wacko, wanna ask u something. How different is Michellin Pilot Road 2CT compared to Michellin Pilot Power 2CT. I wonder how much different are their tread-life. Also, Pirelli Angle seems to be quite a good buy ya? I'm contemplating between these 3 tyres as I'm looking for something that allows me to enter corners without little worry and also enjoy e tyre mileage. Do offer me your comments thanks.

Do you track?

 

If not PR2 is more than good enough for some aggressive street riding, even for a few spirited rounds on the track.

 

tread-life is very good.

 

well worth the money.

 

IIRC PR3 is out already too!!!

Slow down abit, smell the air and enjoy the scenery.

 

Caught the touring bug once again!

Ok, here is my review for METZELER SPORTEC M5 INTERACT.

 

Got this tyre on Oct 2010 and just changed it yesterday after end of heat cycle span.

 

Been a bout a year with 10,000Km mileage on it. The m5 i had have been on a trip to Genting (back & forth abt 800km) and 6 track sessions. Its grip in the wet is one of which i would personally applaud for, it really grips and disperse water well enuf for you to feel total traction. You will feel guided and confidence riding in the wet. In the matter of hot weather riding, damn, this is a favourite i tell you. The grip is superb. Sure it takes abit of tyre warming up but once it does, the feeling of riding is up a notch. Besides confidence in taking a bend (not tt i encourage), the stability of the tyres moving from one side to the other seems abit effortless but Tipping in on track takes abit more effort, cant explain why either. In track, it takes me abt 3 slow lap before the feeling of grip. Not a tyre i would recommend for track junkies cos after too many lap the tyre will slide and got to cool it down before the grip comes back again but one i would for a once or twice half yearly track goers before changing to another tyres. You might be able to notice that the M5, with gd balancing, provides a lesser vibration ride compared to some other make. I felt the downside of the tyre right after the heat cycle span of the tyre fading which is after the genting n track sessions. In the wet after those trips n track, the tyre seem to skid bit by bit at the slightest degree in the rain. In sunny days, it is still about the same at its grippiest. This is one tyre i definitely recommend for singapore road and weather. It provides better riding experience in the sun and confidence in the wet. Even after all those riding, the groove is still deep but had to change it bcoz of its heat cycle. :thumb:

Im riding Gtr1400 n bought it in Sep 11 with Bridgestone Bt 021 stock on it.. Went to Pattaya with it n had gone thru rain n shine there n been enjoying every bits of it.. Mileage covered till now is 11k plus n there's still lots of thread left.. N I've got no prob taking corners with it..

 

Tire pressure is very important, its one of e key point to a lasting wear of tires.. I pumped my tires weekly n thus e result.. :)
