Went to the Darkside, now coming back to where I began
Folks here it is, I tried the Darkside. Have now about 60 miles on the car tire. First the air pres recommended for the "car" tire was 49 psi max inflate. I started out at 35 psi, "too much transition between straight lines and curves" I kept lowering till the transition faded, now I am 28 psi. But now the tire is too loose on the curves. I think if I did not hit curves so hot, it would be fine and I love how it feels on the straight aways, but I do not puss the bike around, it is meant to be driven. I am not going to push it with the darkside. I will keep the car tire for future drag track days to take on the local high school punks lol, show them what this older guy can do with it.
So here is a question; like many of you, I too feel jacked with how long the metz lasts. I am getting around 6k on one. I am looking at Avon 240. Anyone care to weigh in on the new Avon or any other 240 / 50/ 16 tire?
Thanks much
