Rocket Roadster Tire Dope

PLEASE go back to my original post and review again!
I have further refined my chart to include all known tire combinations for the R3R and for the OEM tires of the R3T.
Much useful data with explanation here, including circumference ratio calculations to determine ABS fault possibility.
I hope some of your find this dope useful!
Best Regards . . .

YOU I DONT REALLY CARE HOW LONG IT LAST AS LONG AS IT HOLDS ON IN ALL CONDITIONS I often take a tyre of when it hits the the wear bars or feel it is not 100% safe the Dunlop Elite 3 in a 17/80/17 which grips better and feeds back better than Avon 170/80/17 or the Michelin Commander 140/75/17, It is the first tyre I have actually worn down further, it was only I happen notice I had gone down to almost no thread grove but still felt good to ride, the milage is more than the Avon but that is possibly partly due also as I found the Avon to go off once it was getting close to wear bars, I wont ride on a tyre that does not feel right

I believe that to be possible.
All my issues with Metzeler were their infrequent and unexpected propensity for stepping out in curves!
