I was under the pression 440s would not be serviced by Progressive any longer, if they do still, that's great for owners of them.
Hopefully going to a 200mm rear tire will let me track around corners faster with less angle required.
Claviger, at the risk of hijacking this thread, I have to respond to your "200mm rear tire" comment.
I LOVE the 200mm rear tire on my R3R. Bridgestone Battlax BT020 200/60R16, the second one I've fitted. The first one lasted 9,500 miles and the bike's handling stayed excellent to the end. So much nicer steering than any 240 tire.
Before that I fitted a Bridgestone Exedra Max 200/60R16. That only lasted 7,500 miles, showed a lot of tread scalloping, and the bike's handling deteriorated towards the end. I don't think it liked being stretched onto the 7.5" rim. Before that I used an Exedra Max 240/55R16. Handling definitely got worse after some wear and miles. Not impressed with the Max.
LOVE the BT020.
