    The mileage out of them seems to be pretty good mate. From what I have heard they are good tyres, if TT marshals hammer round the track on them they can't be too bad.

    I am replacing the Bridgestones on the F4 for Supermaxx Diamonds next summer so hope my faith isn't misplaced.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    I've read up a lot about them and they seem great and even better because of their price

    My son fitted Maxxis tyres to his 1200 Bandit, I told him to be careful when he left my place. He went up the drive and turned left, he then high sided the bike which threw him across the road hurting his shoulder and causing a couple hundred pound damage to his bike, not a problem with the tyre, but the way you ride a bike with new tyres. He now say's that after putting a few miles on the tyres they are really good.

    i have supermaxx sports (if i remember off the top of my head) and there really good in the dry. might be my riding or confidence but i'm not a huge fan in anything more than very light drizzle on them though. that said, mine are the sports and i'm sure the touring ones are fine

    Personally, i would stick with what i am happy with. I have ran continental sport or road attack, good in the wet, superb in the dry and good mileage returns too.

    I have heard good things about Maxxis and they are also the recommended tyres for my bike. Running BT021's at the moment which were new last year so might give them a try in a few years time when I need a new pair.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.
