    you will now suffer from"puncture paranoia".Every time you pull away in about 15m you will be thinking,"Does that fell right?",a couple of times you might stop and give it a squeeze,or a kick,all will feel right so will continue your ride.Every morning you will be thinking"OH Shi*,I`ts gone down again"out will come trusty pressure gage,and all will be well.This will continue for about a month,but will taper off after about 2 weeks.Do not be alarmed,this is normal behaviour,its just called"Puncture Paranoia". ;D

    I got these "safety pressure indicator" (scroll down to the bottom).

    Makes it very easy to see if you've got an issue when you haven't got a pressure guage (or a man) handy.

    Yea and it worked just to get me to the dealer with help of super glue etc.mind you didnt go over 20mph down the country lanes.
    Iv given up on rear ZR rated tyres to many friggin wrecked tyres. > last one only done 4 K miles and got sliced by a piece of metal none repairable had at least another 3k miles left on it.
    Got a Distanzia fitted to the rear now got about 10mm of tread depth when new so hopefully last about 10k miles +and i cant find any difference in grip wet or dry using this tyre either,matches the ST Storm ok aswell no weird effects, least the front lasts about 20k miles ;D
